While reading my March MR I was intrigued by the article on building your own passenger cars using core kits ( pg 56 ) . What I was asking about is this. In the article the author uses products that he identifies as 'ABS Plastic', 'styrene', and has one reference to 'acrylics'. Are these all essentially the same material generically known as 'plastic', or are there substantial differences? And where then does a 'resin kit' fit in? Thanks for any information, or a good definitive resource to clarify the different products. Scratchbuilding or kitbashing is a part of this hobby I want to enjoy more, so I'm looking to become more knowledgable. [:)] <br /> <br />Dane
