2001 Moonbus in 1/144

What did they use for casting resin? Some sort of foam?

To be clear,  this is not a commercial casting, this was a bunch of reject bits that Ian at Stargazer put together for me as a favour, to add to my collection of his kits.

I think that explains it rather well.

Yes this is old school casting from a time when nearly all resin kits were like this. This was not pressure/vacuum cast, just the old fashioned pour in, slowly move it around a bit and hope. 
The commercially sold kits were all pressure cast in first class grey resin.

So, back to the build
There comes a time to just call it done, due to diminishing returns.

Mostly happy with what I have, considering the source model was a bit "rough".
One very  moment was when the headlights slowly disappeared and died, looks like the LED have Karked it. So far the rest are doing ok, with the interior lights being the main event.
