DK,

I have several of the Blast sets and one of the sets from Legends. I really like the Blast sets. I think they are a quick way to give a vehicle a lived in look and I really like the sculptor's style with the various bags and tarps. At times there are even patches depicted on various cloth items. I have heard a few comments concerning accuracy of the size of some of the standard US kit items, but they look good to me. I agree with the previous poster that the end result will really depend on your painting skills. But I would say that most would be easier for the average modeler to make look nice than a figure. The Legends' sets seem to offer a pretty good value as they include enough items for several vehicles and are not as specifically molded to fit a certain spot as the Blast. I also do not feel that the sculptor has quite the same flare as the Blast sculptor. I have yet to purchase any of the Resicast items, but am very excited by their British accessory set. Hope this helps,

Regards,
Rob Ervin
