Does anyone have any good advice or websites or resources for learning to model with resin parts? Is it as easy as it looks?

Casting or building....... Casting has some tricks.... but building only requires a few different tools...
Razor saw.... and Superglue or Epoxy.... and a dust mask (for the most part)

If you are meaning to use aftermarket resin parts or kits/conversion sets,I highly reccomend getting a nice Dremel or similar rotary tool and getting familiar with it.Really handy and essential for some resin work.
cheers!
