As some folks keep asking me what happened to HoiHoi-san, I decided to post a quick update on the building progress.

Started to build her after checking out the manual for a few minutes. Maybe an old habit, cause I came across some quite weird manuals when I was building tanks, planes and such many moons ago. But as it is a manual from a Japanese company you don’t have to worry. Just start right away!

HoiHoi-san pantsu shot!

If you follow the manual you will start with her leg parts as those are the easier ones. Nothing special just take care when you have to mount her legs into her pantsu-part. I had to use some force to mount them.

Next are her apron, her upper body and her arms. Again nothing worth mentioning. You need some glue only for two small parts by the way. Everything else fits well together without falling apart.

If you have never never built some sort of kit HoiHoi’s head is probably the most “complicated” part.

Don’t use too much force. Make sure you assembled the top-skull-piece (the one with the two holes) tilted like shown in the picture above.

She looks kinda scary that way, don’t you thinktoo? @_@

Zomg, finished her on the next day, overall building time was ~3-4 hours I guess.

I just have to paint her accessories now. Actually all of them are already done, besides her katana. I’ll get a smaller paint brush tomorrow for the details on the swords handle as I couldn’t find such a small one among my old plamo tools.

Expect to see her in action in the following days over here!
