I'm like you in that I like the resin/metal stuff battlefront did and all my FoW stuff is in that medium so I shall have to think hard about going with this lot. Wonder if all of the countries will be plastic or will the "minor" nations be resin?JamieMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06206287212346614676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1391427662737871662.post-88623226152044568352016-01-31T00:28:11.175-06:002016-01-31T00:28:11.175-06:00Great action shots!Great action shots!Barkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04389368754759452544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1391427662737871662.post-68750905049038609932016-01-30T16:12:21.094-06:002016-01-30T16:12:21.094-06:00Looks as though this was not the happiest of proje...Looks as though this was not the happiest of projects for you, Greg - but you seem to have overcome these obstacles and produced a cracking entry!Evan Hugheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18107866906860803155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1391427662737871662.post-54973845317602992482016-01-30T15:50:17.730-06:002016-01-30T15:50:17.730-06:00Amazing looking models, and great layout for your ...Amazing looking models, and great layout for your pictures Greg. As usual, amazing painting as well!<br /><br />Unlike you, I really enjoy plastic over metal or resin, due to the ease of working with it. I get your points though for 15mm and smaller it gets to fragile for the small pieces. I also do not think that it makes economical sense for a lot of things like this, the cost of making injection molds is so high, and that's why these cost so damn much. At that cost they should be metal and resin. I understand the cost of doing plastic, and these being low sales volume means they need to charge lots per item to justify the molds.... BUT....Plastic should be cheap! Maybe that's just the Ukrainian in me coming out though.ByronMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11290492763955225660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1391427662737871662.post-32034505767569230322016-01-30T14:27:27.936-06:002016-01-30T14:27:27.936-06:00Greg are there any non favourite periods you have?...Greg are there any non favourite periods you have?
