The coolest thing was when Polar Lights decided to repop this kit. Nice, clean kit to build. Lots of moving parts (that actually move). No wood grain was sculpted into this model. I read about lots of ways to apply a wood grain, but honestly the easiest way to do it is with colored pencil, then seal it with clear flat enamel. I actually got his head to fall off when the blade falls. I put 5 small BB's into the blade casing to give it weight.
