   As a long time gunpla enjoyer I don’t understand how games workshop can charge such exorbitant prices for fixed non-articulated gray plastic, many of their models being over 20 years old. It baffles the mind. I am glad we live in a world of Low cost resin printers.

     @ChurnHinge Whenever sanding resin please remember to wear a respirator and wet sand whenever possible. Wet sanding helps capture the particulate.

     @Twoinchdestroya @ChurnHinge That as well I forgot to mention because I thought it was assumed because finger oils mess with your finish.

     @Royper I got my first resin kit this year
     I have not started building it yet as I have just started practicing to paint. the person at the store did warn me that it was a very advance kit. but I thought I would get it incase I regreted it and it was sold. keeping it for later until I know what the hell I am doing.
     
     is this one. it came in a little plastic box. very neat

     @ChurnHinge @Royper Here’s one guy’s resin woundwart: https://www.reddit.com/r/Gunpla/comments/hv9m64/stickler_studios_1100_woundwort_full_resin_kit/

     I’d definitely do a bit of research looking through build guides before jumping in.

     @ChurnHinge @Royper Maybe I’m totally out of date on resin kit design, but about 5-10 yrs back it used to be fairly common that they didn’t do things like bandai a lot of the time. Bandai tries to give good ‘color separation’ in its parts, so the paint shows up better. Yellow parts in this pic would be separate model parts on the runner. For resin kits, it’s about cost and wastage, so they’re far more likely to leave the pieces molded in w/ the understanding that the builder will have the skill to paint them in
