I'm coming into this from Warhammer and it's fucking mind blowing how cheap it all is. I'm used to paying like $45 for a pack of 10 dinky little soldiers that are each like 3 pieces, meanwhile I can get a perfectly good HG with a lot more parts for like $15. Why is it like this? It's a blessing though because I already have all the tools and stuff from the other hobby, so the price of entry is literally just the $8 to $30 I'm paying per full kit.
One question though, I'm used to topcoating entire models all at once in Warhammer. Can I do that here, or will it fuck up the joints and stuff? If that is a problem, would it be okay if I just mask the little rubber joint pieces? The whole appeal of this versus Warhammer to me is that there's more instant gratification, you build the kit and it looks nice from the getgo and anything additional you do is just icing on the cake. I'm looking to just paint the details instead of using stickers, do some panel lining, and spray a matte topcoat on top of all of it, but if I have to take all the little tiny bits apart or do it per-piece before assembling that kind of defeats the purpose for me.
