ahaha, thanks! Yeah, i had quite a response for this sculpt, more buyers than i could handle (well, more than one. :D )!

As for the 28mm... i really love to work in this scale, but it's almost impossible to find someone willing to cast large structures, and i must limit myself to small houses or scatter scenery. :( :( :(

I would love to get some of these. I can think of so many games to use them in. Please let us know if someone offers casts for sale!

Cheers everyone!
It's a matter of days before i'll have a buyer!

I'm already thinking about the next move. I've been considering a smallish house, maybe 20 x 12 cm, with a floor and a half. The idea is to have it detailed but general enough to field a few on the table acting as barracks. Do you think it could work?
And, asking to the companies here, is that something you would be interested into? I rarely saw whole resin buildings online, should i stop before starting?

Cheers
Jack

Well, I think the issue is more about wargamers than it is companies! lol

I'm just starting out on the road to resin casting, and from what I can see, people prefer to go for cheaper lasercut MDF. I can understand that to a degree as you can build a dense urban board relatively cheaply that way. However. I still think resin buildings have their place in terms of the detailed buildings that are not just generic etc.

Plus, whilst MDF works for intact buildings, without the work, they don't look great as destroyed ones IMHO.

Well, companies reflect the people taste, so it's pretty much the same i'd say! And paying 50-60£ for a single large building is scary, i have to admit that.

By the way, I raised the bet with a slightly larger building this time, I'm curious to see how it is once cast!

Cheers
Jack
