This is one of the most time consuming kits I've ever built! Of course it doesn't help that the quality of the kit is crap; brought from the same seller as Luna, this kit is cast in the same garbage polystone. Took a lot of time to prepare the surface.

I haven't seen Black Cat Mansion myself but allegedly this guy bumped into this big mansion that has a black cat, and the 3 sisters living inside the mansion were longing for a man... well you know the rest. It's one of the old Cream Lemon H anime. I guess you can figure it out, the middle one is the big sis, left 2nd and right 3rd. I'm a sucker for multi-character kits, so I bought this kit.

Seam lines: 3/5   Pinholes: 3/5   Casting: 1/5   Fit: 3/5   Part Break: 5/5   Help

Though in a crappy resin, the fit of the kit is acceptable. The kit includes a wine-glass holding hand for the big sis or this beckoning hand. The solid-cast wine-glass doesn't look good at all, so I picked the beckoning hand. The black thing on the extreme right is da black cat.

 

Building

I finished in the order 2nd, 3rd and big sis, in the order of how I like the character. I somehow decided to not mask anything at all, so some of the details such as the ribbon was painted in with acrylics, and the stockings and lingerie were painted with oil. The the little sis's white stockings were painted entirely with oil, and it works pretty well. The other sis's stockings were painted with clear Gunze colors. You can get clear brown from mixing orange and smoke, and purple, well, the obvious red and blue. I added some drying agent from Grumbacher and man this thing dries fast! Probably because I added too much. I got something like a gloss enamel when I mix drying agnet with mineral spirits and oil, except I could still blend in about an hour or so.

In retrospect I should assemble the big sis before the little sis, because the big sis's left hand rests on the shoulder of the little sis, on top of which is the hair piece of the little sis. I mistakenly glued in the hair piece first, so I had to take the hair piece off again when I mount all the 3 figures.The stupid plastic breaks right in the middle of the hair piece, so I had to fix that.

I searched for days to look for a suitable material that the 3 sisters can lay on. I always thought it's a dream-like fluffy carpet, and finally I found some discount santa hats after new year, and the white area is the perfect match of what I had in mind! Now we have something that resembles a Victoria Secret commercial... :)
