Im the type of modeler who believes in using as much plastic as possible in my builds, rather than remaking everything out of metal. to me, The ART of modeling as we know it, is taking plastic and making it look like something else through painting and detailing. There will always be exceptions though, like photo etch scripts, and extremely tiny details. I know telling you this wont make me a favorite amongst builders, but this is how I believe. thanks for asking
