Experience does make a world of difference. After the first couple of AvP Preds it got a lot easier for me too. I think it took less than 30 minutes to put Wolf together, same with P2 and Cleaner Wolf. I don't expect Machiko to be a problem, but I'll be taking my time, just to enjoy the assembly process. And the cool thing about Machiko is that she can be assembled to suit one's own imagination.
