There’s nothing more disappointing than when a car you desire to see for so long in 1/18 gets made but only in resin. In other words, I just wish Minichamps would make the Aston Martins in DIECAST because then I’d be aching to buy. I’m not interested in resin because, regardless of the intricate details from resin, it’s no fun when those kinds of models have no moving parts at all. Not even rolling wheels. For me, that’s what makes this hobby interesting.
Here’s hoping and praying that someday, science will be able develop resin models that can operate like an average die cast model with rolling wheels and other opening parts
