 Subject:  Build vs. Paint vs. Weathering - Which is top dog?List thread.  
  
 Date:  Jul 14, 2006
 From:  James Wechsler 
When I surf the net, I notice a ton of photos of in progress models and all of the highly detailed construction work that people are doing. Yet I also note that I'm drawn to finished models that have unusual and/or interesting paint schemes or are weathered well.

So what's the most important aspect to you?

Now don't say all of them. And let's assume that to a large extent they're all important, because they are. But what do you focus on and like the most?

Personally, I've noticed that I tend to do much more detailed construction than a lot of the people I know. Yet I'm more impressed with the well painted and weathered models. So I've been trying to focus more on that in my more recent builds. The sole reason I bought Tamiya's Char B is the cool paint schemes.

So what do you favor?
Jim
