you just had to post this picture back up didn't you?!
there is a small amount of painting involved...me and Druna Skass thought the heads were too plain so both of use painted the front where the camera is, it's not being true to the anime but hey, when you have a model kit you can do whatever you want to it ...the hardest part of building the kit was getting the rubber parts off the trees and getting the rubber parts to stay...also, those there's clear parts around the waist area that need to be glued down or they'll pop out very easily...i think the kit is very well constructed but is limited due to the way all the joints work...it's sometimes hard for me to keep the knees in the right position since they come off pretty easily...and the head looks a little awkward in some positions...over all the kit is worth the money and time put into it
