I love Minis but I'll guiltily admit it was the cute girl that sold me on this particular kit

I'm curious to know why they chose a schoolgirl with the new mini? Personally, I prefer the old school body shape. I was referring to the mini, and not a St Trinian's style schoolgirl 😛

Album info
Returning to the hobby after 37 years, only now I have the resources to do things with proper tools, among them a really nice Iwata airbrush. This is my first build since I was 12.
A lot has changed since I was a kid. I'm blown away by how much better Tamiya Extra Thin is than the old Testors tube goo. I'm using only acrylics and minimally toxic stuff because lung safety is a major concern.
