First off was to build all the main sub-assemblies, and tidied up the joins. I then added the decals I wanted to use, stickers and decals are supplied. Both sets cover a myriad of small details down to his belt buckles. Now the decals are almost impossible to confirm over details so I've no idea how they thought the stickers would work. I used a subset of decals (heavy applications of Tamiya MarkFit were used) and painted the rest of the details with enamels. Oil washes were then used over almost every service and wiped off later with a makeup sponge - I made the mistake of not sealing my painted details with acrylic varnish and needed to go back and touch up the damage. Battle scars were applied to the armour and rocket pack with a torn piece of sponge dipped in silver paint. Everything got sealed with a statin coat. The only other things I used the airbrush for were his gun and cloak as the plastic colour wasn't a good match.
A quickish and enjoyable build. I did find during final construction that the plastic had cracked in places. Very odd and I've never seen it before, I wondered if the white spirits had affected it as I saw no issues during initial construction.
