That's the problem I've always had with plastic. My skills don't match my standards, when it comes to painting, so I am frustrated. I've loved building rat rods in plastic, because the paint doesn't matter, it's supposed to be lousy. But that doesn't work on a Ferrari or late model Mercedes. <G>

Me three. I have a slew of really great plastics in my hall closet, and just can't seem to get motivated to assemble them. After I found paper modeling, it's just so much more work to build the plastic. Paint, wait, glue, wait, detail, wait, paint final...you get the picture. Being somewhat of a "plastic perfectionist" I have found paper to be a much more pleasant pastime.
