Ok guys, for the longest time, Ive had the Boromir with sword and shield new in finecast and plastic.

I only should keep one I guess. Idk which I should though. Im not the greatest painter.... and also I feel like the metal is more sturdy but the finecast has more detail.


What do you guys think for an inexperienced painter to keep and paint?

I'd keep the metal all day long. Finecast is harder to paint due to very sharp (too sharp more often than not) edges. Metal much easier to work with.

I would also keep the metal one. If you become a better painter, it is easy to decolor a metal miniature which is not possible with finecast. An other point is that I think that a metal miniature will be worth more money in a few years.

Elladan: "I like metal and Finecast. With the hobbit, I would only buy some models in Finecast, but with the Lotr Range, metal any day."
