You scored that for under a grand? Well done,mate!
"Soft"vinyl is a mis-leading term;pretty much all vinyl kits are the same material. It's soft only in comparison to resin.I'm assuming from your comments that you haven't built a lot of kits. You'll have to trim the parts(heat the section needing to be trimmed with a hair dryer,cut CAREFULLY with a fresh X-acto blade).You may want to stuff the lower sections with newspaper or,if you're really ambitious,plaster, though the size of this beast would make plaster expensive and ridiculously heavy.Mainly you just need to follow the directions;the various sections will interlock as you build. I hope you're prepared for the sheer size of this beast;it is quite literally the size of a child(with a LONG tail).Good luck with it...PS
 
Those X-Plus figures are very nice that's a great collection. I'm afriad to dive in for lack of money and space, but they have a King Seesar that is just beautiful. That Godzilla '99 looks very neat.

Speaking of Godzilla '99, the MonsterArt version is looking incredible. I cannot wait.

Yeah, they didn't do him ANY favors lol....maybe it's to make 2000 look even better. Like when girls hang with ugly friends so they can stand out more? lol

im glad there is just 2 of us bidding. i made a last second bid. wow this looks hard to do. hope i can study first since this will be my first kit. i have to be extra careful not to ruin this. having newspaper seems interesting

Sign up over at The Clubhouse Modeling Community . They have a Kaiju dedicated section . Looks like the site is down right now but there are a bunch of great and very experienced people over on that site. Good chance the person who sold you was a member over there

I wouldn't be too nervous, if this is your first it's actually good practice, it's so big that trim and assembly should be easy. Most kits are in the 8-12" height range and feature small, intricate parts.
