I do a fair amount of it with the old flats and it's always worth it due to the crude factory paint jobs. With wargames figures, yes it's on more of a case by case basis.<br /><br />Regards,<br />Steve Corporal_Trimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00376387688651637091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7111053985478999734.post-88522178590444436272014-11-17T21:46:54.270+00:002014-11-17T21:46:54.270+00:00Unless the oldies-but-goodies are in REALLY bad sh...Unless the oldies-but-goodies are in REALLY bad shape, I kind of enjoy refurbishing used stuff, Restoring things to their former glory (assuming they had any to begin with) is very rewarding for me. In fact, I have a whole basement full of this stuff awaiting my tender mercies--much of which I need to get rid off before SWMBO and I retire to Florida. Or else I will have to deal with SWMBO's tender mercies--shudder.<br /><br />ChrisChrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05091296131481416326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7111053985478999734.post-59360638399449407642014-11-17T21:27:30.948+00:002014-11-17T21:27:30.948+00:00I have that same debate with myself about whether ...I have that same debate with myself about whether to refurb, repaint or just leave old figures alone.
