PLASTIC Balrog from GW.

[residentalien]

Anyone have one of these they have worked on ? Whats the mold work like. Better details than the metal version and how about fit.

I spent a long time (1.5 months) on my metal one just cleaning mine and getting it to fit correctly. Just curiosu if the plastic one goes together faster and cleans up better.....?

 

[schmackeroo]

yep it does

It\'s not quite as good a model to be honest, the flames are a bit iffy. Mind you, it doesn\'t take a day to put together, so I\'d still go for the plastic one.

you almost never have to clean up on plastic minis as you do on metal minis.

I havnt got any GW models in a few years but i got a pack of the LOTR elfs free in plastic and they were horrible they had bad casting marks everywhere and flat detail and needed alot of mould lines removing.

Plastic has just as many, if not more moldlines than metal.
