I know what you mean, ive got a set of the metal ones and they are a much cleaner sculpt. I love the fact that there are more options with these plastic kits but the detail seems more 'soft'. I dont necessarily blame the sculpt but more this new computer process by what it is done.
Man, nothing against your paintjob, but the more often I see the new Terminator Lord, the clearer it gets that this is a bloody damn poor and cirppled sculpt. It looks uninspired and mass-production, like a toy. The chains.. the claws.. man.... Thanx to your clean painting this comes out very clear. I´ll stick to my 20 old metal ones:)
