So shortly after I got the pirate kit, I got the real thing from GPM in Poland along with the upgraded laser forms, and lifeboat oars. First two photos are the real kit on the table and the bogus/practice one in the position of shame below the desk. This will be my first paper model but one of many I've built through my life in various media. First questions... reading instructions suggests using paint in a lot of places (oil of course). Is that something people do besides edge touch up or should we use the nicely printed colours in most areas? I'll buy paint if I must but I'd be worried about spoiling the look or wrinkleage/coating.
