Resin casting for modellers, and where Resin Studio fits in
Resin has a habit of starting small. A quick repair. A replacement part. A tiny mould to duplicate something you cannot buy anymore. Then you blink and you are weighing Part A and Part B, timing the pot life, wondering if you should warm the bottles, and suddenly pigments are involved. It just happens.
At Scale Model Shop, we stock a solid range of Alumilite because it does the job properly for modelling work. Clean pours, predictable cure behaviour, and the kind of repeatable results you want when you are casting small parts with fine detail. We keep stock in the UK, so you are not waiting weeks just to try a new method or replace a consumable.
But if you are finding your projects leaning more towards mould making, casting, colour work, and all the workshop bits that go with it, that is exactly why we built Resin Studio. It is our sister site, designed to be resin-first rather than resin-as-an-extra-category.
What you will find at Resin Studio
Resin Studio is where we go deeper on the materials and tools that support resin work, whether you are duplicating kit parts, making scenic details, or experimenting with creative casting. We stock a broader spread of supplies, plus the smaller essentials that quietly make everything easier once you are doing this regularly.
- Our own brand products under the Resin Studio name
- Moulds and mould making supplies for repeatable casting
- Epoxy resin for clear, strong pours and general casting work
- Pigments and colour systems for consistent tinting, effects, and finish control
- Mixing and measuring essentials, release aids, and the practical workshop items you end up using constantly
If Scale Model Shop is where resin meets modelling, Resin Studio is where resin gets to be the main focus. Same team, same practical approach, just built around resin supplies and accessories from the ground up.

Resin is at its best when you have room to experiment. You learn as you go, you tweak one variable at a time, you get a feel for what different resins and pigments do in real life rather than in theory. And sometimes you end up with something you did not quite imagine at the start, which is kind of the point.
