Live Resin made a huge statement with their first release, well here we go again. Live Resin has announced another huge list, and I for one, am very impressed.

Those are crazy detailed. Any idea of those are CAD images as I suspect? I wonder what the final product will look like.

I have added two images to the bottom of the news article. The moldings look as good as the CAD.

Guys, check out the review section to see how the final product looks like. Live Resin has by far the best 1/35 scale weapons and accessories on the market today.

Great looking weapons . Does LR do a set of just MG ammo belts , both 50 cal and 7.62 mm ( 30 cal ) would come in handy , Gun Trucks , etc ?

Hi

I will let the pics do the talking as I am not an expert on guns but just was more wanting to show the quality between two sets.

Trumpeter gun on top (set for $5.50 AUS), Live resin gun on bottom (set for $7.00 AUS). Both have been sprayed with a light coat of Tamiya fine grey primer.This was done as the guns were different colours.

Live resin have their pour stubs in better spots and you also get extra mags and grab handles ( not sure what there called but you can see them in the company pic I have included pic. Also you get six guns in the live resin pack and only four in the Trumpeter pack but two of them are differnt types of guns.You also get in the Trumpeter pack the slings for the guns and the gun sights.

I like both sets to be honest but live resin comes out on top as you get more guns of the some type and the pour stubs are in better spots.













Hope this give you an idea of quality

From what I've seen, IMHO Live Resin is the best gun maker out there. This set looks superb! I agree with Magpie, I hope they branch out in replicating weapons from WWII. I think sets from that period would be a must have for all of the genre's fans.

Great looking castings too! Thanks for all the additional info. Really for what you get $7 isn't too bad these days. Its almost like a mini kit in itself.
