Reply To: Metal v Plastic

As a teenager I preferred the price, weight and options of plastic, but these days I like metal again. As well as being quicker to assemble, as they’re typically single-piece, they’re also quicker to paint. (Arms and gun tend to be molded into the chest so there’s less surface area to cover – and often hard to reach surface area at that.)

I’m convinced (but don’t know why this would be so) that paint goes on to metal miniatures more easily too. Although unfortunately it’s also much, more more likely to rub off!
