This is an old kit, probably manufactured in the early to mid 90's? I
got it from a guy who was selling his GKs from a japanese webpage; happens
all the time, when you've built so many GKs you finally want to sculpt
and no longer want to deal with your pile in the closet. I was lucky the
guy was willing to sell to me even though we have a little bit of communication
problem due to the difference in language. He sold it at half price, the
original costs around 7000 yen.
While this is an H kit, the characters aren'tdoing anything lewd... isn't
all that interesting, but multi-character kits are rare, especially H
ones, so at this killer price, why not? Anyway I can't talk about this
kit without giving them names can I... but since the kit didn't come with
instructions I can't really tell. Let me just call the one with stockings
Jessy and her friend Sarah, how 'bout that?
There's a Lipstick II :)

Kit
Review
Seam lines: ?/5 Pinholes:
?/5 Casting: ?/5 Fit: ?/5 Part
Break: ?/5 Help
The kit clearly shows its age; the casting
isn't terrible, but don't know if it's due to the casting or the sculpting,
the surface is quite rough, even the breasts were quite bumpy. Fit was quite
bad too, and lots of mid-calve part divisions. Sarah's face was sunk in...
argh! I was worried, but it seems to turn out ok. |

Building
Since this isn't such a killer kit I didn't spend too much time on it.
I used the slo-zap + baby power putty to fill all the gaps and remove
seamlines. But some areas showed pinholes after sanding, I think it's
due to my mixing with too much baby powder, plus I didn't grind down the
bigzzer sized powder chunks. Sarah's calves weren't sanded all that well
and uneven surface can be seen around them... but who cares.
I tried to give the duo slightly different skintones, Jessy is more pale
than Sarah. It wasn't all that obvious tho. I like how Jessy's face turned
out, she has a "I'm so sexy for the cat" look; inspired, I made
those flying hair strands for her... out of cardboard! They don't break
as easily as sheet plastic, but they deform easily. I think her face is
the best part of the kit... hell, it looks different than the rest of
the kit!
The duo lay on the "velvet underwear that comes from second hand
store" featured in the Asuka &
Rei kit. This time I use acrylic modelling paste to give relief to
the velvet, so that body parts will depress the velvet. I think it turned
out quite well, except next time a piece of cloth should be used to "test
fit" the modelling paste, right now some paste got stuck to the velvet
and small areas of white can be seen as the velvet is a little transparent.
Overall I'm quite pleased with this quick hack :)
