    ... 90 miles to my closest GW... :shifty:
    ...... (and a 20$ bridge toll)

    So yea I'd say that 15 miles counts as local. :meh:

    $20 for a bridge?! Cheaper to risk the swim!

    good luck it's a 20 mile swim...
    and around 200 370 miles to make a detour.
    and a $3.50 toll.

    My closest "oficial" store is 30 min if I go by tram, 10 if someone takes me there by car :)

    I'm moving further away from my local one, but it's still not anywhere near as bad... Probably 20 minutes tops by car depending when/where I go...

    I will be enormously disappointed if I do not receive metal models.

    In the past they have converted metal models to finecast but I believe and continue to hope that the conversion process required creation of a new mould specifically suitable for the resin material.

    I can confirm this about plastic: either PVC or various Styrenes; that is a totally different type of machine.

    I have a GW that is about 5 minutes away by car. I haven't been to that store in ages though.

    I agree. I absolutely despise Finecast. In my estimation it is the 2nd worst thing that GW ever rolled out.

    On the upside, I hear the newer models that where specifically made with findcast in mind,
    are a lot better.

    As far as I know the older metal models recycled the same molds, and just swapped metal with finecast material.
    leading to a lot of air bubbles and miscast.

    Nope.
    sadly the best spot for a ferry route,
    connects two towns both in the middle of nowhere.

    You leave Albino Pigmar out of this. That was a great model.
