What is all of this Resin Addict stuff about?

Well, being a selfish (or is that self-deluded?) person I like to think it all started with me (Mangozac). You see about 22 months ago I started what would become an epic modelling project – a massive four-legged assault superheavy assault mecha for use in my Tau army (referred to here on as the “walker project”). Some said I was crazy, others didn’t believe I would finish it but as the project progressed I had more and more people asking me if I was planning to sell cast copies.

Through the walker project I came into contact with some fellow hardcore modellers: Warhound was always a keen proponent of the walker project (and is an amazing modeller/painter to boot). Seb has always been an awesome modeller and painter. Paulson and I ended up having many discussions about resin casting techniques.

All four of us had for some time deliberated over the potential of selling our own resin kits however individually none of us could find the time or drive to do it. Things finally reached breaking point when I realised that the number of walker kits that I could potentially sell was far more than I had the time to be producing myself, so I began serious investigation of making a go of this. As we had all been aware of each others’ desires for commercial kit production I instigated discussion about a special communal model kit enterprise.

Thus Resin Addict was born. We concocted ideas for a new website where we could not only display progress reports of our projects that would be made for sale, but also a fantastic new forum where serious, hardcore modellers, sculptors and painters could come to discuss their arts. Whilst we enjoy top notch modelling work of any kind, our specific interests lay in miniatures, vehicles and terrain for use in science fiction and fantasy wargaming.

At current there are two sections of the website, with a third to come at a later stage. The first section is the blog. This will feature news regarding Resin Addict kits for sale and sneak peaks at upcoming kits that are currently being worked on. The second part is the forum where, as mentioned above, hardcore hobbyists can come for some in-depth discussion. For the time being all sales will be performed by the producer of the kit in a private matter but eventually we will open a third section of the site: an online store with proper shopping cart system.

So please, browse the site, introduce yourself in the forums and help contribute to what we hope will become a fantastic resource for the discerning “veteran” modeller.
