The only areas I ran into some difficulty were heating the head to go over the Sideshow ball joint neck and dying the cloak. Make sure you hit the head with plenty of heat because you don't want to snap the little stem of the balljoint. It'll take a bit of effort, but it does fit nicely once it's on. For dying, use 1/2 a box of RIT, cut the water in half, follow the instructions and soak for 20min. There's no need to lighten the jacket or pants. When the dye has set and it's all dry, the coat will look the deep green color it needs to be and the darker brown pants will look black. There's no need to bleach or lighten. Once all that's done, he's an easy assembly and looks just as fantastic next to Gimli. Although I'd recommend giving him a repaint to get rid of that sweaty pedophile look of the TB finish and make his color match up a bit better with the Sideshow body and the rest of the Hobbits.
