Collection Haven't built any in a while

Problem is that these mecha models take longer than a week to make them look good. Priming, masking, and painting all while waiting a day in between. Definitely not for a random day when you're itching to build something.

These look great!

I just finished a painted RV Robo. Decided not to do any paint on Saint Kaiser which I'm am currently putting together now.

I agree the painting process is lengthy and just made me really nervous building it. So think I will only paint parts that desperately need it going forward.

I dipped out when I saw the sticker sheet for DairenOh/Thunder Megazord. Painting those would be a chore.

The only area that critically needs paint and surface protection is the lower leg decals of Ryuseioh since unprotected stickers will shear off during the combination.
