ULTRAMAN ZERO

About the item

Ultraman Zero is a character from the Japanese Ultraman series, that is, from the world of giant heroes in close-fitting suits with bold color areas and sharp transitions between them. Under this designation it is a set of parts to assemble, not a finished product. The designation itself sets neither the scale nor the extent of the package, so what is binding is what the box and the manufacturer's instructions supplied give. If the size of the finished figure matters to you, check it there.

Assembly

Take the parts out of the packaging carefully and compare them with the instructions before you start joining anything. Cut the surplus material off with a sharp blade or with nippers a little away from the part and sand the remainder carefully, so that the mating faces stay flat. Always try the joints dry first. Choose the type of glue by the material of the parts and by the directions in the instructions; a number of kits of this kind are not glued at all and hold on snap-together joints.

Painting and the surface

Before painting, wash the areas and degrease them, or the paint will hold badly. On a figure with large smooth areas it pays to apply several thin coats; a single heavy coat fills the fine grooves and the articulation of the surface is lost. Sharp transitions between color fields come out best over masking tape stuck down before spraying, not by touching the edges in with a brush.
