Epicast recently sent us three buildings from their new line of Resinlite terrain and building products. All three represent adobe structures, eminently suitable for use with a variety of games (the obvious use being for Ork buildings in WHFB and 40K, though we should mention they are not official Warhammer products). The scale is 25-28mm. The structures are solid (no usable interiors). ![]() What's Resinlite?We're told it's "a lightweight expanded urethane foam." What this means in practice is that the buildings are sturdy yet they don't weigh a ton. For instance, you can't "squeeze" them like you could styrofoam, and even the more delicate parts (such as the buttresses) seem able to withstand a fair bit of knocking around. The buildings are heavy enough not to fly off the tabletop with a gust of wind, but you could easily carry several in one hand (if you wanted to stack them...). In short, if you expect resin products to be heavy and delicate - well, Resinlite isn't that way. The products are naturally brown colored (shading from light tan on the thin parts - buttresses, railings - to dark brown elsewhere). You could conceivably throw these as-is on the tabletop, perhaps flocking the bases or doing some detail painting, but I'd recommend giving them a full paint job. Our project is the smallest of these buildings, shown at lower right in the photo above. |
