No, basic grey plastic. Just far too many little fiddly bits. Haven't bought into any coloured plastics. I just like painting grey plastic.

In terms of actual pain in the backside from the model itself, the Stormhawk Gunship.
But I find that every Finecast model I've ever built just doesn't want to be glued, no matter how much I clean them they never seem to stick.

Maybe your glue? Every finecast model I've glued has instantly stuck. Quickest bond I've ever seen happen with superglue. Usually with metal or plastic I get a few seconds to move the bit around before the superglue kicks in, but with Finecast it was just boom, done.

It has so many mold channels across the whole model it feels like you are just carving the guy out of a block of resin.
Of course it's all warped and uneven so you have to cut and file down large parts while taking care to not brake the super fragile details.
The model looks great though

I have had this too, I dont even get chance to position them properly sometimes, it can be a right pain.
