I have no preference for material. I'd always assumed that resin was used for large items like vehicles and buildings because it was cheaper (perhaps it was,...
Resin is used for larger models simply because castings such as 28mm tank hulls are beyond the capabilities of most manufacturer's kit - even GW couldn't cast...
Hi Rob, For massed collections of vehicles, I prefer resin for the weight. But at the same time, I also like and appreciate metal. There's nothing quite like...
For the record I don't care what the base material of the model is for the most part. Metal, resin, heck hydrocal, the issue is how they look. Price is my...
I prefer resin, for the weight issues, and also because you then don't need to assemble a lot of metal parts in what is often a hollow configuration. Weight...
Hello Rob, I'm no caster but I am sure there are some elements to the casting process with metals(regarding cost) you are not taking into account. I read on...
Does anyone in the group actually own one of the original Martian Metals Grav Tanks, grav APCs or the songbird air-rafts? If so, would it be possible to get...
... As I said over in Photos RAFM just quit producing them. You might call them and beg.... I mean Ask. Though to be honest I prefer The new "High-Tech" Grav...
Here are some links to pics of them: http://www.travellerbibliography.org/mm/2802.html The vehicle on the front cover is the Grav Tank. The one on the back is...
Nice Pictures. They did sell both the bottom of the tank as an airraft as well as the dedicated miniature. I would love to have a couple of them. I did notice...
Does anyone know if these other Martian Metals vehicles were ever produced, and if so, what they looked like, e.g. the 21XX series of vehicles, especially the...
Rob, I don't mind seeing multiple of the same add... If it is relevant to to list it's posted to. But there are some around here who will bitch loudly about...
Hi Evyn, Thanks for the note, and I understand your concern. I am trying to get the word out about these to the widest audience that I think may be interested...
... Hi guys, first post here. I would prefer resin or pewter minis over lead. I don't like lead minis and would be less inclined to buy lead. and what...
I do not think that Grav tanks would have Vents if they were Nucs. Look at the Nuclear Submarine no vents for Nuc waste. Also Vents would make a tank...
Hi Rob, yes the quality and surface of a resin cast will be better, I don't get much waste when casting resin, just vent/sprue areas If your going to had cast...
... Otto if you knew the chemical composition of some of common casting resins you really wouldn't worry about metallic lead. With that, he is asking whether...

It's beautiful Dave but the photos I took were shaky and not up to showing it off. I'm taking some more today with the minis inked. Cheers Mark ... From:...
... Mark, are you using a tripod at all? If you are using a small digicam, there are small tripods you can pick up for $5-10 that do wonders for the shaky...
Thanks for the tip - I do have a tripod and try hard as I can to brace the shot when not using it - but sometimes I only have a few minutes to take pics. ...
