That is correct.Idris wrote:I'll be perfectly honest and say that I'm not absolutely certain what resin moulding entails, but if it involves pouring liquid into a mould then that would fit with the air bubble theory.
Would the resin casting have been more for prototypes than preproduction. I have now checked my No7 refuse truck with the plastic base using an eye glass and there are no imperfections at all in the base.Tinman wrote:The base on Stil's model looks every bit like a resin casting.
Resin casting has been used by Lesney for pre-production models and various pre-production parts. Since the process does not lend itself to mass production, I would think the number of models assembled with resin cast parts would be very limited. Another question comes to mind; did Lesney reduce the pressure on it pre-production plastic parts for the same reasons they reduced the pressure on metal parts?
)Many members here use the two terms interchangeably. How many models have to be made before a prototype becomes a pre-production? Both models fitting these terms often come from some Lesney connected source and not in a box via retail. That means some pre-production does not come from retail and some does. Regardless, the semantics are not well defined (and often used incorrectly) and this leads to further confusion. Perhaps I too have used the term incorrectly.nearlymint wrote:Would the resin casting have been more for prototypes than preproduction.
