[Closed] Cost twist in a different direction!

Guest · 2016-02-25T06:46:22Z

Cost twist in a different direction!OK, some have mentioned, not only in my recent post, but several times before that the $150ish range was their limit. Suppose DM came out with a new line of 1:24 cars for that range of price, without features like opening doors, hoods, trunks, or detailed engines, and done in resin, which A) doesn't warp, B) doesn't bubble up and disintegrate, C) doesn't suffer from paint rash. Resin casting also offers finer casting detail than metal products. I will make one distinction over current resin models though, the undercarriage would be better represented.Would you be interested in paying for models done in this form? As evidenced by the last few years of the resin D4C model, obvious some would, but what of the rest?
