Meaning:
“手” means “hand,” and “办” means to “make” or “do.” Originating from Japanese, this term refers to a garage kit or resin kit, which is an assembly scale model kit most commonly cast in polyurethane resin. They are often model figures portraying humans or other creatures. In Japan, kits often depict anime characters, and in the United States depictions of movie monsters are common. However, kits are produced depicting a wide range of subjects, from characters from horror, science fiction, fantasy films, television and comic books to original works of art, as well as upgrade and conversion kits for existing models.
