Anyone built the Mini Himi or Crazy bus yet?, how hard are they and do they look good finished?

I haven't built the Crazy Bus yet, but as far as the castings, I was pleased with them. Very detailed, and accurate. Very disappointed with the scenery however. Printed using a computer printer on normal printer paper. The quality is subpar. Once the scenery is straightened out, it has the potential of being a really nice model.
What do you get if you crossed a Merry Mixer with a Berry Go Round??

Don't they need to be painted? If not, I wouldn't mind getting a couple.

They look like nice models. Even the concessions.

The castings are off white like the RAH models. They probably need to be primed first then painted.

That stinks about the scenery. Since thats the case I suggest using a gloss clear coat paint over it when its finished This would give it a gloss look like as if it was not on paper. For the kind of money hes charging for those kiddie models, it should already be on faller quality paper IMOP.

Anyway I'd like the Crazy Bus because of the small footprint but the Mini Him is cool because its the largest and most interesting ride I ever got to operate IRL.
