Figured I'd throw out my opinion on this model. With the price, this was one of those things I asked permission from the wife first before bringing it home. Having said that, I opened it up and groaned a bit when I saw it has over 140 pieces. Pulling out the assembly instructions, I figured this was going to be a painful affair. However, I will definitely say the model is absolutely easy to assemble and the fit and finish is outstanding. There was one fiddly piece in the torse that was a small challenge to ensure it didn't move while getting the rest together, but all the pegs/slots line up perfectly. I finished building the model in about 2 1/2 hours. Some say it's cheating, but if you can ever try an airbrush, I highly recommend it. I've been using one since 2007 and models like this is where you see just how much I enjoy having one.
Currenty, the model is tabletop ready. There's still a ton of detail work yet to do and I'm undecided as to how I want the Suncannon to look. However, below is a tabletop quality Wraithknight. It took me about 5-6 hours total work time to get to this stage.
