It turned out well then and I still have it.

Problem is I'm not all that good at this stuff. I had a hell of a time with a little model of the Defiant from DS9 from not long ago. Too many small pieces which have to fit just so.

I'm really taking a risk with this, but the fact that I saw Ex-Aid at a GameStop at that price was just too tempting to ignore!
The good thing is that FRSes are specifically made for beginners! Zi-O was my first model kit ever and it was easy enough to put together; as long as you have pliers and tweezers you're good!

You've definitely picked a heck of a one to start with, though -- as you might expect from his wild design, Ex-Aid's got a loooot of stickers to contend with

Did anyone happen to build the Kotobukiya Ultraman? It seemed to be the best B-type suit kit in terms of engineering. Pretty crazy too that most of the runners made of ABS, instead of the usual PS plastic.

Bandai model kits are still years ahead of the competition in engineering and ease of assembly. Don't be intimidated.

Was my first, easy enough, but now I cringe whenever a model kit reviewer says that a sheet of 6 smallish stickers is a "ton" and that it makes the kit "very" colour inaccurate.

Compared to a lot of gunpla, figure rise has so few stickers. I still have a couple RG models that I haven't completed because of the sticker count. Figure rise stickers are great for the quantity and for how well they help with painting.

I've seen some of the reviews of it, it's pretty good, the Ultra Slash effect part is show accurate compared to the figure rise one but it lacks of specium ray effect part, and the proportions are similar to SHF ver.

What would you guys recommend if I'd want to stick down Build's eye stickers? His rabbit sticker keeps on peeling at the top. Should I mod podge or just cut off the little bit at the top that is peeling off?

Whatever you do, don't glue it! You can try to apply some small clear tape if you want a quick fix, but your best option is to get a liquid chrome paint pen and just use that to paint the part where the sticker would be. That way, you'll never have to worry about anything coming off, and if it does, you can always reapply.

I used clear nail polish.

Normally I would've used a Chrome paint like Kyushushu mentioned but I still wanted the back of the part to be black.

What brand? I've heard that some have elements that have an adverse effect on plastic.
