Resin is something I still need to add to my bag of tricks. I don't even know where to start with that but definitely see how it could become very handy. Just the other day I cracked open my Dragon Ausf F... what a disapointment, the whole hull is die cast and while detail is not bad it is not the same as their all plastic one. Plus I won't be able to drill or replace hatch handles or such.  

So right now I'm thinking in using Revell's hull with the Ausf. F steel wheels and parts save the rest of the Dragon parts for the future. 

What I'm planning to do is something like what this Spanish gentleman did, but in 1/72:

First thing about casting is to buy it at a craft or art supply. Lots cheaper. I like to add tons of stowage so it saves me a lot of money. And casting is actually easier than modeling with resin. Man that g' is gonna look nice. Yeah I'm definitely gonna read more reviews before I get another one of their kits. I have the stug as well and it looks really nice. And I'm gonna steal some of your techniques for the jag. It was a gift so I wanna make it really nice. Again highly impressed by your work!
