Hand Painted Amuro

I've been at a standstill on my PG Unleashed build until I painted up Amuro. I'm new to Gunpla and finally broke down and got the unleashed kit and I thought painting up Amuro shoulg get a nice paint job.

I am curious though, as I don't see pilots get the love they could... Do you guys paint your pilots or leave em out of the build? Do you hand paint or air brush?

This was very tedious but my God the payoff is awesome. I realize it isn't perfect, but it's about as good as my skills and tools can get me at this moment in time! I'd love to see some other pilots painted!
