I wanted to build a model kit for quite some time, but with zero experience and a tight budget, I procrastinated the plans to make one. Recently I found a cheap listing of a model kit of Hatsune Miku, and I thought, why not? I purchased the kit and gave it a shot. 

Picture of the whole model set. This set was partly prepainted only 1 colour on the moulds. This set does require some additional painting to let it match the image. 

For this set, I used some basic tools, a mini side cutter (I used 1 of the brand Sencys, but any brand will do) a small Stanley knife and some sandpaper with a fine grit. 

 

1 disadvantage of this set that was there was a lot of excess plastic on the parts and once they were assembled they were very hard to split again, so any modifications couldn't be made. (Even without gluing) 

 

A lot of excessive plastic when the runners are removed. Indicated by the purple circles on the picture
