Reply To: Metal v Plastic

I’ve very much the same Rob, I love gluing plastic kits together, i think this is the kid in me being brought up on airfix. However when it comes to getting stuff done and not just building then I much prefer metals, less assembly work if its a sizable project and i much prefer painting them and playing with them.

The exceptions to this for me are vehicles, I always love plastic and Napoleonic’s, if I’m painting several 32 battalions its much easier on the wallet with plastic, and much easier on the back carrying, on top of that most are one or two piece plastics so quick to assemble.

@avernos theres also ABS which Rubicon likes, that seems very good for the vehicles with hard edges, but the infantry seem a bit soft on detail to me, somewhere between PVC and HIPS?
