Description

This is a fixed-pose resin-cast figure kit.

This absolutely marvellous figure was featured on the cover and on the inside of 'All That Figure 2001', and rightfully so. Max Factory has produced a simply beautiful cast of a Chieri sculpt of Narusegawa Naru, the main character of Love Hina. In a playfully seductive pose, Naru is dressed for the beach. You can build her with or without the cutoffs (so she's just in her really cute leaf-motif bikini), and with or without her tank top in her right hand. As is to be expected from Max Factory figures, the quality of the resin and the crisp castings are without compare. Parts cut is along natural seams for ease of painting; the fit is perfect. 29 clean white resin pieces, and a fine bit of wire is included to make her necklace. You will definitely need a base for this kit as she will not stand on her own. Please note that though the photos of this kit in All That Figure 2001 show her with clear resin hair, the actual kit is not produced with clear resin pieces.

Assembly Guide

Skill Level 3:

Basic Skills Required

Kits rated as skill level 3 are traditional model kits that require all basic modeling skills to complete. This includes cutting parts from runners and trimming or sanding them prior to use, assembling them with cement, and the use of paint to complete them.

To properly complete a level 3 kit, you should have at least a basic set of modeling supplies, including plastic nippers, a hobby knife, files and/or sandpaper, plastic cement, instant (cyanoacrylate) cement (for resin, soft-vinyl or metal parts), painting supplies including brushes, paint, thinner and masking tape, tweezers and possibly decal softener for applying decals to difficult areas.

Kits in this class are not suitable for small children unless there is complete parental supervision. Adults who have never before completed a plastic model kit may want to read one of the many excellent modeling guides available at most hobby shops before trying to build one of these kits.

Skill level 3 kits include a very large portion of our catalog. Most traditional plastic model kits fall into this category.

Cement Required

cement

This item requries the use of cement (glue) to complete. For injection-plastic kits, use the weld-type clear cement specifically designed for use on styrene plastic. For some smaller parts, you may wish to use instant type (cyanoacrylate) glue. For resin, white metal, soft vinyl and photo-etched materials, the use of instant type cement is strongly recommended.

A SAFETY NOTE ABOUT INSTANT CEMENT

Parents and all modelers should note that instant cement (cyanoacrylate) bonds skin instantly. While this in itself is not harmful, forcibly attempting to pull the skin apart can tear the skin and cause injury. If you or your child happens to inadvertenly glue themselves with instant cement, don't pull, but use remover for instant cement, or nail polish remover to dissolve the bond instead.

Painting Required

This model kit or accessory must be painted in order to achieve a realistic appearance.

Paint

While there are slight differences depending on the country you live in, there are generally three types of paint available for modeling: Acrylic, Enamel and Lacquer. Their characteristics are described below.
