  Difficult but not impossible to work with. Actually, epoxy putty sticks to
them very well. My favorite Tsukuda kits are the Megazone 23 kits as the
likenesses are very good. The worst part of working with solid vinyl is the
"fibering" effect you get when trying to sand details like fingers. The sand
paper, especially when it gets dull, just seems to roll off chunks of vinyl
instead of cutting it.
