WIP - Sankei Let's Miniautart My Neighbour Totoro #1

One of the best time in modeling for me: in between projects. This is the time where I will slowly take my time, dig out and browse through my stash. Slowly admiring the boxes of model kits hoping to find one that inspire me to put it on workbench as my next project.

This round, I am in a little dilemma.

I have had set my mind to go for Gunpla project for year end while i was still working on the previous faceless ghost project, but since I know I will be spending months on that, it kinda makes me reluctant to "officially" start it.

So i was trying to dig out something simple and quick, yet i will find it motivated n fun.

Then this caught my attention:
I bought that during my last trip to shizuoka with Andy. I would have got it done a long time ago, just like the other 2 that i bought. The reason this is still in my stash instead of my display cabinet is it is freaking 8,300yen!

Yes, call me cheapskate. But getting a kit done in probably a week or less that cost me near to an MG Sazabi Ver KA, I feel the pain. So I have decided this: Call Andy and get him to do his as well. Hahahahaah

This is how this build off is born.

This is indeed not much of a WIP, more like a slowly open box post; for that 8000+ yen i d paid, i must fully enjoy it. Of course, the packaging looks more like a premium gift that a model kit is one of the reason too.....

The front and back of the packaging:

The contain:
As usual from Sankei, they use top notch Facy card and have extremely good quality laser cut lines. Since I havent build this yet, I would reserve my praise on their building design later.
Seeing the picture already got my hype up!

This is the outter label, front n back.
