Yeah, I have to agree with most of the other forum members on this one. For a large white metal model, this one isn't to bad. While it does have some gaps, they are same that you would see with any other large model. I got mine last night, its already assembled and the green stuff should be dry by now.
AS for baseing, I'm going with a graveyard theme on this one, that will match up with the teddies I'm going to run.
