You definitely make a fair point about the value of something you enjoy doing and that gives me food for thought about the whole Finecast pricing argument that rages at the moment.<br />Happy painting!Oddjobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05382544182623094584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7878309668789321166.post-55351587919384184412011-05-29T02:17:54.281+01:002011-05-29T02:17:54.281+01:00I agree with every word!

I've never been one to really rant and rave about it - lord knows there are plenty of folk who do online already anyway.<br /><br />Personally, as I don't game, the prices don't really bother me too much - I get enjoyment from it therefore I don't mind paying for it. Would it be nice if it was cheaper? Of course, but I think people go overboard with the whole anti-GW stance too often.<br /><br />When I compare the quality of todays miniatures with those from 5 years ago, the improvement probably justifies the cost for me.<br /><br />Rest assured, I'll be posting some more about Finecast as I start to convert this figure and paint it.<br /><br />Cheers,<br /><br />AndrewCMDantehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08284979536898155953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7878309668789321166.post-12723724195682487502011-05-28T16:57:54.729+01:002011-05-28T16:57:54.729+01:00Thankyou for posting this.

As you say, this material seems to offer a lot of potential for conversions and the detail looks very good.<br /><br />I have to say however that the first thing that caught my eye in your post was the price on the blister pack. (9.50). I understand that Finecast miniatures are supposed to cost more, but that seems like an awful lot for one figure!<br /><br />Thanks again for the review. If you have time at some point to post your thoughts on how painting the figure goes that would be great. Congrats btw on a great blog!<br />:-)Oddjobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05382544182623094584noreply@blogger.com
