This hero is time consuming because the shells needed a lot of work. I had to build up the seems the best I could. The rest is fairly straightforward. Midgrades are easier because once the two halves are glued together its a matter of filling and sanding then putting the metal parts on. I can finish a Midgrade in about a week v a Hero which will take a month or more.

There are a lot of folks here that are MUCH more talented than I.
