	Furthermore, photo-etched brass is reproducible! Most modern at-home techniques require you to print out a design on paper (or on a see-though trace), which means that you can duplicate the same exact design dozens or hundreds of times. If you want to customize a whole chapter of Space Marines with a unique and detailed emblem, you should definitely consider brass etchings before [[rage\|freehand painting hundreds of welsh dragons]] (or whatever).

	Given all of what you just read, why the fuck would you want to make your own etched brass parts? In a word: detail. You can get very tiny details with photo-etching, and retain them with relatively-durable brass. When it comes to adding mouldings or raised iconography on armor, [[green stuff]] just does not do the job as well. Even commercial photo-curing 3D printers (as of 2020) can have trouble making details at the scale brass etching can reliably get down to, particularly when wrapping those etchings around pre-existing model geometries.
