Is this true? I mean, it is an empirical fact that the rpice of resin minis are often as high or higher than metal minis. With todays metal prices, why is that?
Nope, complete nonsense.
Resin is cheap, that's why it's used to do big bulky things like tanks and terrain.
Metal costs the earth and is getting more expensive all the time.
Plastic is super cheap but requires some fancy kit to be able to produce models.
With the price of resin so low and metal so high, some all metal companies, like Chieftain and Heresy, are looking to move some parts to resin to save money on materials and on postage.
