28mm Saladin and Arab Heavy Infantry

[Jim Wasley]

These figures are 28mm FireForge in resin,the Arab Heavy Infantry come in a pack of 6,and the Saladin comes on its own with the horse,after a clean up they don,t come out to bad,there was a few pin holes in some of the figure,and some of the shoes on the figures just look like a blob,Maybe someone could tell me why some manufacturers use plastic and others use resin,is it cost?and do any of you think one is better than the other?Would like to see some feedback,Cheers.

Up to your normal high standards Jim, lovely work.

 

I believe that the cost of cutting the moulds is lower for resin than plastic and the new light resins hold the detail especially for one off figures.  Also  the UK at least there are only a couple of companies that can do plastic moulds and they have a waiting list. Of course I could be talking rubbish.
