Since Hasegawa has never released a figure in a "competition swimsuit", I decided to make one by modifying an existing figure.
The original kit has a stunning frill sculpture that is too good to scrape off.
The frills have been shaved off.
Bikinis clearly show the lines of the body as it is.
However, the competition swimsuit has the effect of making the wearer swim faster by constricting the body, so we decided to sculpt the 'body compressed by the swimming costume'.
I was waiting for the putty to dry time... and I got the round glasses that are all the rage these days.
What? You don't normally wear glasses when you swim competitively, do you?
Just because a girl wears a swimming costume doesn't mean she swims, especially in Japan(?).
