I read the title as JK Molester Guide.

lol

 

[Kaarme]

Delivery guy saw something unexpected but good.

 

[xanon]

Nice. I really like HG ni Koi suru Futari so hoping this one will be just as good.

 

[JustCallMeBB]

wakaki tamiki just does whatever the fuck he wants huh

 

[undeed]

hmm... yeah... I also stripping while building my Gunpla

didn't realize until the last page that this is from the author of kaminomi/365 days wedding

I mean, getting naked to air brush must be a thing, right? She's doing it, so there must be at least some sort of precedence?

apron, do you not have it?

I mean... naked apron is better, right...

 

[lesseffective]

I mean, if it's apron dedicated for air brushing, that seems like it would be fine. If it was one for cooking, I'd be afraid of cross-contamination in both directions.

I mean, I could understand if she wanted to prevent getting paint dust from the airbrush on her clothes but, the original clearly says キット (Kitto).

I wish I got into modeling when I was young. It could have given me better skills in arts and crafts.

Maybe if you custom made your own models, but just putting together a premade one doesn't really give you anything.

Nah, I suck at cutting in general lol.

 

[Konopo]

New series! I like it already. Especially the theme. I always find building gunpla interesting so this is right up my alley. I wonder if this will have any actual plot?

@Mr.Archer

Nice! I've been desperately wanting to know what this series was for ages now, and I know the pain of physically debinding and scanning something.

A few things - "Mitaina" - typo, you wrote "Maitana". The author's name is "Tamiki Wakaki", it's a common spelling mistake to write "Tamaki". Is "mamma" intentional? Usually I see "mama".

As for the "naked painting" thing, I looked it up. (all google-translatese):

Some people say that they hate dust and paint naked (really?), or wear clothes that are the same color as the paint (what is that?).

[Gunpla] It's real to paint naked in the bath, right?

A self-proclaimed master who paints in his room with clothes on
will be amazed by the dust
on it, isn't it?

Do you know where the least dust is in your house?
The answer is the bathroom!
There is always moderate humidity in the bathroom.
And one more thing. Dust also comes from clothing.
However, I enter the bath completely naked.
There is also moisture, and the source of the outbreak does not exist.
In other words, the ultimate method to prevent dust from sticking while painting. That means getting naked and painting in the bathroom!
Can you do it! Σ(ﾟДﾟ; )
I'm feeling.
In order to make a model, you have to prepare the environment to some extent, but it is rare for people who can even provide a bathroom.
However, this is a method that was introduced in model magazines, and it seems that there are people who are actually doing it (though I think it is a minority). I thought it was like selling even the soul to the model...

My read on the situation (given that there aren't a ton of results for [エアブラシ プラモ "裸"] and [埃 裸で塗装する]) is that it's more of an urban legend in the Japanese model-making community about the hardest of hardcore hobbyists (every mention is a second-hand account).

@blueocean

Thanks.

Yeah, there's several spelling errors I've noticed since Saturday. Karaoke, modellers (on the credits page - I caught the same mistake on the cover before uploading, thank God), the name of the magazine... In my defence, the credits page was just off-the-cuff written directly into Clip Studio Paint instead of going through a word processor- so it never got spell checked. I stand by mamma being a perfectly valid variant spelling of mama though.

Between that and that I can't stop noticing that I forgot to straighten the pages after scanning I'm seriously considering doing a version 2. Still I guess this is just part of the learning experience and that I'll keep this in mind before future releases.

Thanks for the info on airbrushing naked, it was interesting.

You probably already noticed it, but if you do upload a revised edit, the first page has an odd brown tinge on half of the "JK".
Also: the straightening isn't really that big of an issue on these images. When I did physical scans, I straightened the pages, but I never could get a perfect horizontal + vertical alignment because of the nature of paper.

 

[HolHorse101]

Any chance this will be picked up again? I'm aware it's hard to get ahold of apparently but I would really love to see more of Wakaki's stuff, I could even pay for the magazines if that's the issue.

 

[EchoGirl]

LOL this almost feels like an ad

That said even if someone's comfy at home, even if you know the delivery person would be a woman i'd still put a top on or so (or if anything i'd just wear a loose top without a bra)
