This Is Why We Have Mental Institutions!

Or maybe this is why?

LWS kit....

Not a beginners kit for sure and I've heard the LWS kits are not for the faint of heart. I haven't ventured into metal kits yet and still have to build my 1st resin kit. I've been enamored with the Mullet kits, but need to learn better soldering skills first.

Been through several and none have been a joyful experience; easiest route is to just accept it for what it is, build to the limits of what can be done, and have some fun with that w/o expecting much beyond that.......and maybe that's good enough for fun. I foresee the real challenge being applying that lettering - it's 2 sheets of clear contact plastic sheet printed with the lettering -- I expect it to be 110% unforgiving in every sense.

Metal and resin are kind of similar; all in the quality of the parts provided; recent resin is nice to work with; older can test your mental toughness.

Most are quite good; every so often I read about something in the laser cutting to be off; like a tab missing or an extra one. Tosses some a bit of a wobbly when encountered so you just have to forge on -- everyone can use better soldering skills!

Yes, I enjoy the IM kits too, I just wish they weren't so fragile when completed. You have to swap out the plastic details with metal or handle them with extreme care when completed.

Better be careful Butch, last time I suggested that, dang near started WWIII.

.......... dang near started WWIII.

Might as well pour kerosene on the fire and see what happens.

I'll pass, that's your forte!
