The download:
Probably one of the finest kits by Moekami. It can be found as a free download here:
Moekami - download
The PDO files contain parts for the Princess, a display base, and three companion penguins.
The original kit:
You can find pictures of Moekami's protype here:
Princess of the Crystal
Since there is plenty of time, I hope to get my version as good as Moekami's build.
Background:
"Mawaru Penguindrum" is a Japanese 24-episodes animated series that aired in the year 2011.
It is one of those strange anime series that deals with fantasy, magic, and philosophical questions.
The main character is a girl called Himari, who dies, and is revived by the power of a penguin hat.
Once she's revived, it transpires that it is the "Princess of the Crystal" who possesses Himari's body
(through the penguin hat) and orders her brothers to obtain a certain item called "the Penguindrum"
in order to extend the girl's life.
The series rapidly develops secondary plots, and turns from a rather relaxed series into a dark and dense
family and social drama involving the relatives of the main characters.

The kit I'm gong to build represents that Princess of the Crystal, in her royal form,
accompanied with her three penguins.
I don't usually build figurines, and I tend to stay away from PDO files.
But this is a good excuse to start something different.
And since the end result looks fine, I feel tempted to give it a try.
I printed the kit enlarged on double-letter size 115 gms cardstock.
Started with the first penguin:
So far so good.
It is a bit more complicated than I thought. But I guess I'm liking it.
Next will be the other penguins.
Thanks for reading :)
