It had very tight fitting seams with little to no prep work to be done before assembling and painting.  The kit was just a really fun one to paint because it had so much detail. I used a combination of flesh tones and a light purple for the skin areas with my airbrush. The rest of the kit was hand painted with a bush and I used a combination of acrylics and also enamels. I find that enamels look a lot better to me on colors like Chrome, Gold, Steel, Copper, etc. versus the acrylic versions of the metallics.
TIP: I learned the hard way
Just don't hit much clear coat on enamel metallics
or it will become tacky and never truly dry.
The base is a simple wood platform I bought at
Hobby Lobby and then rubbed with wood stain.
