Mixing plastic and metal parts

[Rurouni Benshin]

Question on mini assembly....

Would it be a bad idea to use metal parts with plastic parts?  I'm trying to outfit some of my marines with certain weapons, but when I look around for the bitz, a lot of the weapons I find are in fact metal.  All of my mini's are plastic based, and I wanted to know if anyone has any experience with putting the two different types of materials together.

Thanks!

Generally speaking, mixing the parts is fine.  Some of the models even come with metal AND plastic parts.

I'll let someone with more experience give a more insightful answer.

That's really all there is.

Also, putty.  It's real nice since Plastic - Metal is one of the hardest things to keep on.
