Ron GarciaEasy kit to build as long as you use boiling water to heat up the vinyl. I learned that with vinyl kits, you better add some sort of filler in the lower torso (I use plaster of Paris), or over time the figures will begin to lean. Heating pieces to be joined, pressing them together, and then running cold water over them helps to reduce the amount of putty needed. The kit needs to be painted in sections. The arms, sledgehammer, and cape should be painted before assembling.
The cape was the only part that caused trouble. Part of it is already attached to the upper torso. The remainder comes in three pieces. The fit wasn't the greatest even after heating it up. Also, the inside of the cape looks a bit rough. With paint and strategic use of shading, most of the flaws can be hidden.
The finished figure is big and impressive - 15 inches from the hammer to the boot. Horizon has long been out of business, so it's doubtful this figure will ever be re-released. I bought it when they were still around. It only took me 30 years before I got around to building it! If you see one on Ebay or a swap meet, it's worth picking up. An obscure comic book character to be sure, but with a nice metal finish (I used Alclad paints on mine) it looks great.

Pantelis AntonoglouAmazing tip for the windows, thank you for sharing!! What type of tape you are using? Any problems between the tape glue and resin during removal? Thank you in advance

Andrew PThe tape is high temp electrical tape. It leaves absolutely no residue, and the adhesive leaves a perfectly smooth classy surface on the windows. I bought a pack from Amazon for $11:

It's also a quick solution for filling the things for painting.

Łukasz GlińskiWhat a nice build 👍 I love these kits too, very well designed (built the Max not so long ago, couple of them waiting in the queue).
I really like the epoxy&tape idea, very interesting.

Michael KohlBeautifully done.
Have to try the electrical tape. So far I used regular Cello Tape and this does leave residue. You can wipe it of with Isopropyl alcohol but would definitely be nice to be able to skip that step.
