Replicant Vol. 17

As usual, Replicant showcases recent figure kits and prepainted models, and this issue is a particularly good one. T's System's "Nijihara Ink" is featured on the front cover and in a special article; unfortunately this kit is still a scratchbuild and not available. Lots of kits by independent sculptors fill this issue, and a fair-sized section on prepainted models and gashapon is sure to please. This issue's "making" tutorial is part two of last issue's tutorial, and demonstrates painting T's System's 1/6 scale kit of Nakahara Komugi in her 'private' clothing . The techniques used in the painting can be applied to any kit, so it's still a very useful walkthrough. The usual advertisements and interviews are included in the back as well. 144pp.
