Gaming models features a fairly large line of inexpensive resin cast models with the average cost being
approximately 5 USD/vehicle. They come painted a basic color or unpainted (per customer request) and are designed
for gaming rather than display. However, from what I saw at a recent convention, with a little work they look almost as good as their metal counterparts at about 1/3 the cost. Craig also has a line
of Landing Craft and Amtraks (in both waterline and out of water configurations). |
