[Closed] BoS Resin

Opinion ...

Take my opinion with a grain of salt simply because I have only one BoS model and no BBR's or FrontiArt, and I am primarily 1/24 collector. My 1/18's are CMC, Minichamps, Autoart, BoS and Mattel.
BoS has more than excellent quality for their price. However the difference with the more expensive brands comes in the materials, detailing and finishes (except paint, I think the paint for BoS is great, that's why they look so well).
BoS are designed to be cheap. Less chrome, less injection molded plastic, simpler design etc. Probably less research and lower accuracy too, as well as higher production numbers.
So ultimately you are getting what you pay for.

I have six of the BoS 1:18 and am totally happy with them. Yes, they have some painted trim, no chassis detail, interior details are good but modest. Still, the superior paint just blows away other 1/18 I have seen.

BoS Models

Thanks guys. I collected 1:24 Danbury, Franklin and CMC until they stopped. Sold them all (except a 1953 Buick LE that I will eventually modify). Got into 1/18 BBR, MR and CMC euro sports cars which I purge now and again. BoS looked interesting because of the target audience, but I realize that you don't get something for nothing. I see Minichamps and Autoart struggling with resin models that lack content too.

Nice looking cars, and cars otherwise not made in 1:18 = buy.

Thanks, John - very informative.

Totally agree on the paintjob, the Bos models are excellent when it comes to the paintjob, which lifts the whole model. they are probably simpler then for instance minichamps but due to the excellent paintjob they look very good for the pricetag they have.
