I’m sort of new to this—but do you paint each piece of the frame individually and then assemble it or?

I personally assemble the kit so that I can decide on what needs paint then I take everything apart, paint it, and put it back together again. I have heard of people that paint will the parts on the runner then cut them out and assemble, but I don’t like that method because it leads to needing to notch up nub marks and it’s hard to get a good result that way.

Do you organize the pieces by letter to keep them straight?

Nah. Autism/ADHD keeps them organized. I usually pull off all the armor then do the frame by section. Take one leg apart and paint it then put it back together. Then do the other leg. That way there’s always one to look at.
