@Halffinishedkits I’m “from GW stock” – it’s where I got my start in gaming. And as such, metals were the main models when I started. It was rare to get any kind of substantial amount of any army in plastics. Exceptions were the boxed sets (Orks/Gretchin vs Space Marines 2nd edition).

Even then, many plastics were hybrid with metal in some way. Metal bodies, plastic arms. Plastic bodies, metal add-ons. What a fun time it was.

Also never had any issues with primers. From the early days of rattle cans to today when I airbrush prime everything, technique counts.

As for jigsaw puzzle kits, yeah, sometimes they can be weird. But also, if you have any amount of skill, converting can still be as fun.
