I only buy metal or resin if it is not available in plastic. <br /><br />Interesting comments lads.Alhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06718729719551125559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-214659592063081228.post-54379084018550675482010-10-26T16:23:10.459+10:002010-10-26T16:23:10.459+10:00It's not just change it's logistics and st...It's not just change it's logistics and style.<br /><br />While FOW is Kiwi as marmite it does seem very 40K, and it was not around in the 1980's when both Al and I started building forces.<br /><br />So if we were to change to FOW what the heck would we do with all the kit we have built up...I doubt if I could afford to do both.<br /><br />Besides much of the fun is actually constructing and building your own forces up from what is around or from scratch, rather than just opening a packet (of which FOW has a huge range of to be sure) giving it a file and slapping some paint on.<br /><br />With plastic you have a choice of different manufactors, and what you change or leave off.<br /><br />I love the fact I can take a 50 year old figure from Airfix and turn it into something new.<br /><br />On a personal note I have met and heard of some FOW players who are a little too into it, so to speak.<br /><br />Different horses for courses is the general rule of thumb!Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06666481879639671282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-214659592063081228.post-64210483056530407712010-10-26T13:12:07.851+10:002010-10-26T13:12:07.851+10:00lol, great comments lads.

Move those wheels forward a bit in the M3... or even call round I think I might have a something better than those you have on there.<br /><br />The Mortar stands are coming up a treat. I will steal the idea about the Revell figure holding down the baseplate. You had better make a field dressing stand for them when they shatter their arms!<br /><br />Very nice post.Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06666481879639671282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-214659592063081228.post-66005918002744945552010-10-25T17:05:51.485+10:002010-10-25T17:05:51.485+10:00I know the feeling Al!
