How much did the kit cost?

[Kaffyboy]

@themagby2 I bought it at Monsters in Motion for about $55 in October last year.

Anyone actually know the purpose of the spikes on it's head?

Awesome model by the way.

[Kaffyboy]

@andyknight1 I'm guessing they're there just to give it a more threatening look. Thanks btw.

@Kaffyboy Ok, thanks for your help. I'm planning to buy this kit soon. Thanks.

[Kaffyboy]

@Jer942 No I didn't. I considered it, but ultimately decided against it, because I felt the kit didn't really need to be lit.

[Jer942]

@Kaffyboy Thanks for the reply! By the way, did you install any lighting in the model?

@Jer942 Hi. It wasn't too difficult to assemble, as long as you follow the instructions to the letter. also, In painting it, I decided to paint it in sub-sections before putting it together. It just made it a little easier. The most difficult part of assembly, for me anyway, was inserting the spikes into the top of the head. They are very delicate and will break very easily if not handled carefully. . I painted this with flat black basecoat and bronze drybrush Terrific kit!

Hi, I am planning on buying this kit. Was it difficult to build? (I am not very experienced with model kits.) On a scale of 1-10, how difficult was it to assemble and paint? Your help would be appreciated. Thanks. Jer942.
