I'm so frustrated with myself.
So I brought a MIO kit back with me from Japan this summer and have been slowly working on her. I had to pause work on her and pack her away when it was time to move back to college. And I know, with utter conviction, that I was extra super careful about packing the screws so that I wouldn't get mad at myself when I couldn't put her together.
Her wig got here today, and so I was ready to assemble her, and what do you know? I can't find the screws anywhere. Like, I dug through the trash can looking for them. They're just not anywhere. I think they got knocked out when I got her faceplate out to show a friend, but the fact remains I don't have a clue where they are now.
So I went to the hardware store to get new screws for her, and got ones that I thought would work. Guess what? They didn't, naturally. But at this point I was too ready to put her together to at least see what she'll look like. So I went ahead and semi-assembled her anyway. What can I say? I'm impatient! I ordered proper screws for her online so I'll be able to fix her up properly soon, but in the meantime she'll have to go without.
All this basically to say I'm mainly just ticked at myself for failing at organization as always, and so I took a picture of her put together and am sharing to to make myself feel a little better. She'll get clothes eventually too, of course!

I have a set of yellow eye chips for her as well, because the character she's based on has eyes that change from brown to yellow depending on the situation. I haven't painted them yet to make them look pretty, but here she is with her clear chips painted semi-sloppily just so I could see what it'd look like:

Also, is it just me, or do her eyes not quite look the same direction? Is there something I can do to tweak that? This is my first time messing with the eyemech at all so I'm not entirely sure what I'm doing.
