Paint Brands. . . your favs to work with?

Is this true? I mean, it is an empirical fact that the rpice of resin minis are often as high or higher than metal minis. With todays metal prices, why is that?

Nope, complete nonsense.

Resin is cheap, that's why it's used to do big bulky things like tanks and terrain.

Metal costs the earth and is getting more expensive all the time.

Plastic is super cheap but requires some fancy kit to be able to produce models.

With the price of resin so low and metal so high, some all metal companies, like Chieftain and Heresy, are looking to move some parts to resin to save money on materials and on postage.

I'm glad I know how to strip the paint off my minis should their cost become prohibitive. (A good soaking in Simple Green- works on plastics too!)

Praise the GW grunts, curse the GW Kommissars!

Oh- and I use Reaper Master paints. Seems to have the color selection I need. There's a little bit of separation with a couple colors, but nothing a good jar-shaking can't fix  Also a nice selection of metallics; the basics (silver and gold) and colored metallics all seem to have descent coverage; though I DO prefer GW metallics for the basic metals. Haven't tried Reaper's pearlescent colors or inks yet.

started my hobby adventure with revell enamels, after that I was using pectra acrylics for very first models I had (immaculate fury and valpurgius from warzone :love: ), some time later I bought citadel colors starter set and for many years I was using only this brand but lately thanks to the cooperation with em4 (thanks Doug!) I got full set of vallejo game color and now they're my main brand I also have several reaper colors - really fine product
