The Lancer kit I'm building is die-cut, and not very well at that. I've spent at least as much time cutting out pieces while retracing them with an exacto knife as I have actually pinning and gluing the structures. I actually think the Rapture will be much easier to build, as it is laser cut and the larger pieces will be less delicate to deal with.

I thought that plodding through the Guillow's Lancer would at least get me more comfortable with building from plans and getting used to the process. If building every kit were so tedious, however, I think it would make me run screaming back to ARFs!
