Volks 1/4 Bayonetta by Chorosuke - Incomplete but this is as good as it gets folks

Oh boy, the amount of detail here is impressive. Even as a complete amateur builder I can tell the braids will be a pain to paint well. If Volks told me painting took longer than expected which is why they had to delay the final pictures, I'd almost believe them. Wow.

But the face - it's not doing it for me...am I just not attracted to her facial structure? When I try to visualize the kit as a whole I get even more discouraged. But to be fair I should probably wait until the painted version to make my final assessments.

Still, there is a good side to this - I'm now going in with lowered but more realistic expectations. In addition, while a lot less numerous in quantity, I do own kits which I absolutely did not care for in the beginning; and now I've grown to treasure these a great deal more than the majority of the rest which were purchased under the influence of initial zeal.
