This is my first Bones mini, and it's not for the faint of heart. Extremely fine details make for a painting challenge, but the result is fantastic. This mini is made of seams and mold lines so exercise a lot of caution when scraping them with the requisite sharp hobby knife. Sanding is not recommended due to the soft plastic material and potential for loss of detail. Once that's done, break out the fine detail brushes and customize Nakayama-san to your heart's content. It's a lot of work, but patience and perseverance deliver show-worthy results.
