After spending so much time on the Hazel, I needed a nice change of pace, I just needed to walk away from it for a while. I had completely forgotten about this kit, while I have been taking a break from my 1/35 Hazel, I built the Saori Otokawa model from Discipline: The Record of a Crusade. I got the game and played the Eroge all the way through, and saw all of the endings, so I decided to build the model that I ordered it ages ago it only just recently arrived at my home.

Over all, the model was very easy to build, the caster added some extra nubs in the hair for extra support during the casting process which was a very big pain in the ass!!! I did break one of the strands of hair while filing and sanding. The skirt also had lots of flashing and resin nubs; there were also lots of thin spots in the shirt and skirt. I had to use some Milliput to fill in these thin spots in the resin.
Another issue that I ran into is that the limbs and the hair were all warped, I had to soak the joints in hot water for a few minutes so that I can straighten out the limbs. Now the hair and the hands are even enough so that the model does not wobble around, but I should have done a better job with the legs, the knees don't touch the ground.
I drew a red rectangle around one of the knees in the photo below to show you what I am talking about.

The painting process was very easy, I did not have any problems except for painting the yellow lines on the school uniform. I painted the lines on the skirt with my airbrush, the rest of the lines were done by hand.
But I did make one major boo boo, after I finished painting the face, put pure flat base on the face by brush, I ended up repainting the skin color on the face and redoing the lips.
I applied future and Tamiya Flat Base to the clothes and the hair, the face hands and the other skin parts are left as is.
At this point in time, I have not found a base for the model yet.
