As much as I want to bitch... Goddamn. If this resin is anything like plastic, I'm more than happy to pay the premium!!

Simply can't wait to check them out!

Folks,
Just been to my FLGS and after a chat with the manager who's been able to handle the Citadel Finecast models, can confirm the following:

1) The detail is indeed crisper and more defined
2) The resin is soft and bendable, great for customisation
3) It contains micropores which superglue will actually seep into, basically meaning that the join is the strongest part of the model
4) The material can be bent and re-postitioned by putting it into a bowl of warm/hot water and bending it there - easy solution to straighten bent swords, re-postioning arms etc.

If even half of these are true, then this is to me at least, a game changer...

Common, that flash is not horrible by any stretch of the imagination. I don't see any difference between what you'd see on metal, only that the fine details are crisper.
