I totally agree with you, it's just because you know it's there. It's basically the same with a lot of kits. We work really hard to add all the little details to the engine and undercarriage of a model car or truck, and once it's up on the shelf, it may never be seen again. But, I know it's under there... Thanks for sharing the process, and have a great week.
Interesting concept, skeleton + (optional) body. You're not crazy painting a skeleton that will later be completely hidden. We've all built a car driver or plane pilot that will later be completely obscured once the model is completed.

Thanks for sharing this with us Dave. I absolutely love your reasoning for painting this LOL!! The final result looks amazingly realistic!!
That's an interesting kit 👍Thanks for sharing
You can add some Flo-Aid or a drop of dish soap into the paint/water mix to make the wash flow into the nooks/crannies and off the high spots.

Those washes really look good. I guess you can't put the exterior on only half or one side of the skeleton.
