What prompted this posting was reading Michael's comments on the iM Facebook page re: his buildup of Freaky Gothic:
To each his own--and let me be the first to say that one's AvP (assembly vs. painting, not Alien vs. Predator!. . . I need to do the pants first because they need to be inserted into the coat before attaching the long collar parts, and it's easier to paint this way.
) depends much on the quality of one's casting. Michael may be able to attach the lapels after the pants are attached, but I certainly couldn't (casting flaw) -- nor would I want to! Unless you have a perfect, seamless--did I say PERFECT?-- fit, why would you want to risk marring the painted surface. . . or at best getting it dirty with resin-dust, etc.? And the pants will be in the way of the inside of the greatcoat tails!
My AvP strategy for this kit is as follows (in painting order):
- Great coat unit (including both forearms)
- Legs unit
- Head
- R Gauntlet
- L Gauntlet
- Gun
- Groundwork
