The Land of the Long White Cloud - mystery solved!!

 

[Rob]

Class, class....can I have your attention please:salute::

Once upon a time in a land far far away , a young handsome man with a full head of luxuriant blonde hair and who was wildly attractive to Jennifer Aniston and that bird from The Apprentice , started a thread about Polystone AFV's. It quickly became a playground of naughtiness and unruly behaviour at which stage the school moderators stepped in and dealt out physical correction on a biblical scale........

THE END

" They will break when they hit a hard surface "....I am curious about your answer....I dont wish to start a blue...from reading some of the post's about the brittleness of some materials I wonder why the vehicle's are made from that type of resin ? ...Plastic ? ... why use that particular material if the vehicle's are going to break so easily ?....my experience with resin is not that flash...I have been fooling around with it for a bit...had no luck making figures as it is too expensive to go through all the rig-ma-roll of doing it... and... I am not that interested anyway...but....I have had reasonable success in making flat objects such as walls...building fronts etc..... I find it very strong and unless you use a hammer...unbreakable.....maybe it is the type of resin I use.?..aint got a clue on the brand name ..if something does not work then I take note of the brand name...have you any idea why some types of resin seem to be brittle?..........appreciate any knowledge on the subject...my Google searching skill is hopeless...regards TomB

I hope the moderators don't see this, but here is a serious post. {eek3} In reply to your question on technical details - I don't know and probably never will. It is a simple topic to make generalities about, but it becomes very complex if you go deeper into the topic. You would have to read a lot of technical papers on resins and that's not something I want to do. I know if you drop a FL AFV onto a carpeted floor from table height it will likely break. Same for K&C but a bit more chance it won''t. And if you drop a cat from table height, it won't break but it will destroy something of yours. So the best policy is to either buy soft plastic children's army models or don't drop anything. And never get a cat.

'Oh my I'm not doing that'

Have you ever, in all honesty, said that about anything?{sm4}{sm4}

Rob,

Do not despair I am looking back through the archives to find some of my previous thoughts on this weighty subject. It is a "deja vu" subject which has been debated before. Could be a while as it was in one of the more obscure areas of the forum (discussing Corgi diecast I think).

I'd forgotten the original question. Polystone tends to be dense and heavy, especially if a model is solid as opposed to a shell. But resins can be heavy too depending on their composition. FL and JJD resin AFVs are light because of the type of resin used. Changing the composition of a resin (that includes polystone) to alter a characteristic usually alters other characteristics of that resin, some for the worse. Same is true for altering a cat.

Imagine what is said about people who have two cats walking around their AFVs on high shelves :rolleyes2:^&grin
