discussion AMMO Mig Solution boxes - worth it?

[dalej2014]

As the thread title I'm looking at these, but wondering if they're actually worth it? I have enamels, oils, pigments etc. so am I just "ooh, shiny!"?

Anyone have any experience with these, and any feedback on content, value etc?

Here's a link to them in the shop - https://www.scalemodelshop.co.uk/#/...uery=solution+box&query_name=match_and&rpp=20

Any and all comments appreciated.

I did get gifted the ammo rust set a while back, and to be honest I have used them but not as often as I thought I would, and there are a couple of items in the pack I've still not used,
my advice would be to purchase individual items as and when you need them and build up your own 'set'. that way you won't be left with items you may not use.

To be absolutely honest, my response would be “not at that price”.
Chris’ advice is very sound. Buy what you need when you need it, and I would add “learn how to use it effectively before you buy anything else”. A one box solution, or buying this weeks shiny wonderbox doesn’t make you a better modeller, just a poorer one. Time spent “doing“ and thought spent examining “why do it this way” will give you a far better return.
