Unhappy No point painting??

Just wanna say do some of you feel its very pointless sometimes when you liek paint all the parts but then find out in the end its all goign to get covered up by a piece of black plastic......
Just like the bottom of the car usually they get covered up by the engine cover or somethign liek that
then all that nice work is gone......

Not at all!

I m happy to know all those pieces are there, and painted; looking nice!

The thing is ; I personally build for myself, so anything that can't be seen just gives me extra satisfaction knowing it's there.

There's satisfaction in knowing that if anybody took your model apart they'd find everything was painted like the real car.

IMO.. if you painted the whole car/bike or any other model fully and detailed..

Its your own satisfaction.. does really matter if you can see it or not..

IMO if someone dare you to strip your model, you can proudly strip it down, knowing that every part has been fully painted and detailed..
