The biggest difference as far as an end user is concerned is glue. Resin will not bond with styrene glues. Most people use ca or epoxy to put them together. Resin structures are ususally weaker when done than styrene due to the glue joints being mechanical rather than chemical. Resin structure are ususally heavier too due to thick walls. Most of the time this is not a problem unless you want a boxcar or building with its doors open. Then the extra thickness is sometime objectionable. FRED
