This is a 1/6 resin kit where the sculpt is originally release by Griffon Enterprise (2005).
This is a re-cast kit that I bought online.
This is another easy kit where the quality itself demand little sanding. Moreover, I like the box
joints that they use. This make pinning unnecessary and the fitting is almost perfect. There is
almost no challenge on this kit where everything make it easy for construction and painting. The
only small challenge demanded from this kit is the complicated masking required from her torn attire
where partial flesh is expose.
An easy kit means too many modeler have built this kit and there is nothing new to show if I
build this babe in basic. Choose a different color scheme? Nay. I prefer to retain its original
scheme where it has the anime feel. Moreover, a different color scheme looks like a cheap PVC
marketing trick to suck money from fans (e.g. Max Factory's Kasumi C1, C2, C3 C4 and countless other
PVC manufacturers that comes with no shame). I have been squeezing up my brain juice to think up an
idea.
Ikki Tousen anime series features fighting scenes between school babes and it is predictable
where there is only so many places open enough for a fight. The usual familiar places includes
school entrance, field, gym, labs and roof top. Aha! This give me the idea. I will retain her color
scheme and build her a cool base to spice things up. A roof top where it comes with fences will be
great! "The Rooftop" is one of the most overuse scene in any school anime and it is not surprising
to see Ryofu Housen standing with her sword there. Hehehe (^-^).
.... Well, it is good idea but then how the heck to build the roof from scratch? Another brain
teasing challenge. Check it out how it is done at "The
Making of 1/6 Ryofu Housen".
