What the hell is a handmade thing?

Hand-made, also often called humanoid or human, refers to modern collectible human models, and may also refer to models of cars, buildings, videos, plants, insects, paleontology or fantasy things.

In Chinese-speaking areas, it mainly refers to the animation surrounding the character model based on ACG characters. With the death of ACG fans, there are more and more otaku, the quality and artistry of humanoid are getting higher and higher, and the collection circle of humanoid is also expanding.

Because the mold opening is complicated and difficult, the price is generally very expensive. Because of the characteristics of resin material, it is very suitable for expressing very detailed details and people. Hand-made white molds are mostly semi-finished products provided by factories, which require a series of complicated processes such as polishing, assembly and coloring, and the difficulty is far greater than that of general model making. Just from the perspective of coloring, you need a certain artistic skill and an expensive painting tool such as a pen.

The meaning and origin of the name—

"First run" means that a toy factory will ask the master to "start running" before developing a new model. The prototype created by the master is called "first run" in the industry.

That is, the meaning of "initial/initial shape" can be made by hand or by lathe/milling machine. With the progress of modern science and technology, not all models need to "run first". Modern "scaffold board" refers to the scope of GK model, including replicas other than the prototype. Everyone is used to the general term "hand board". "Handboard" is a translation derived from homonym.

English translation Garage Kit comes from the belief of American garage rock in the late 1960s. In the west, backyard construction also comes from the meaning that GarageRock takes the garage as the main creative place, allowing people with the same hobbies to create and share a small amount.

Distinguishing features—

1, because the hand-made material resin is very fragile, the packaging is usually wrapped in styrofoam, unlike other humanoid goods, which are only packed in plastic or cardboard boxes.

2. Handmade raw materials, which is also the most important factor to distinguish whether it is handmade. Hand-made raw materials mostly use high-grade p.u foam-free resin, and the best is Japanese casting resin (more expensive than transparent 300 yuan per kilogram). The white mold made by hand with this raw material feels very good.

There is basically no air bubble in the product (generally, air bubbles will appear when an individual makes resin, because it is wet before use, or air bubbles are not pumped by a vacuum machine, or the mold is misplaced). The color of white mold will not be yellow and dark, nor will it be too bright. Very smooth (unlike pvc plastic). It feels like jade or ivory, and it is comfortable to hold in your hand, not as light as pvc or plastic. It won't give off an unpleasant smell when polishing.

Because of the high cost of resin, another material "soft vinyl" appeared, which is made of soft vinyl. In fact, it is a vinyl shell with a hollow interior, and the cost is much lower than that of resin. The disadvantage is that the expressive force is not enough and it will be deformed. In short, each has its own advantages and disadvantages, and players should choose as appropriate.
