I got my kit today too, also in NY It looks awesome, but mine won't be done for a while as I don't have a valk for it right now. Parts look pretty clean, but mine's got some under the surface bubbles that'll have to be sanded and spackled, meaning it'll have to be painted completley no matter what. Not sure how these got in there, as they stick out of the surface of the resin, which seems odd if the resin had been flush with the mold... oh well.
Nice work all around.
