I hated metal so I wasn't sad to see it go, and I finally got some Eldar Rangers. Most of them were okay, but the guns were touch and go when it came to them being straight. Two of models had a ton of plastic attached to them though.

**Exhumed**

Very nice. Do they have any kind of residue from the mold detachment process still upon the model?

Good Question. Also This looks very nice!

Not that I noticed, I clipped it and immediately painted it and the paint stuck without issue.

**SpitfireArsonist**

Very cool indeed.

Are you saying you didn't prime the model - that you painted the bare Plesin\Rastic\whatever?

**Rabid Ferret**

Unprimed? That looks great... might save us some steps...

**mwnciboo**

Very good standard of painting. I am surprised you didn't prime it, i have looked at the picture and the edges of the painting looks granular (slightly uneven texture) is this the case or the Quality of the Camera?

**Mr Nobody**

Wopps, forgot that, yes I primed it black first.

**dajobe**

I WANT FINECAST! i dont like the metal models, but i do like how the metal ones are heavier...pros and cons with everything in the world

**zing165**

So glad to have finecast!

**Kr'aag**

Coincidence!

I bought mine the other day!

I wanted to get some fine cast, and wanted some rangers.

Voila!

Still mid-paint but decided to load up pic anyway just to join in with your thread.

I was infact expecting them to be worse than they actually were, but we opened the pack in the shop and one chap was missing his backpack. . . Opened the only other pack in store and swapped the model like for like. The GW guy didn't want to part with the duff model at reduced price which was a shame. . .

It's the camera, it pixelates the picture some times.

You know what?

I just got a metal ranger in the post today from GW. Eldar Ranger Kneeling Observing £7.20

Lovely model, but more importantly, very little flash or mould lines. A quick going over with a file, drill the barrel, glue the backpack and done. The fine cast in comparison needed way more attention. I am very impressed with the quality of this model, I wish I had got them all in metal now.
