Yeah painting on the skewers definately gives a better finish than laying them on newspaper or something and getting splattering all over. Im glad you gave me that tip!
I did find a couple leftover parts that, to the best of my knowledge, were never even mentioned in the instructions... hmm.. And there was a ton of leftover polycaps, but thats probably normal.
I rushed my build together today and despite not giving the paint a couple days to cure I only managed to rub half the paint off, lol. I snapped a couple pics. I haven't finished painting the wings, added any decals, a matte finish or any weathering yet, but I thought no one would mind an update.
One thing I dont like about this kit now that I built it is how skinny the waist area is. It makes the mech look almost delicate or fragile

back (this area is not finished at all! still needs wings and a couple pieces)
my awesome photography skillz...
Sorry for the picture quality Ive been trying to keep the file size down so dial-uppers can still view them.
