What Are Resin Crystals?

Resin crystals are decorative elements made from high-quality 3D resin, designed to enhance miniature bases, dioramas, and other creative scenery projects. These stunningly detailed crystals are often used in modeling, crafts, and tabletop games such as Warhammer. Their clear, polished appearance and vibrant colors add realism, depth, and a professional finish to any hobby project.

The crystals are coated with epoxy varnish, providing a long-lasting shine and exceptional resistance to scratches, bumps, and other wear and tear. This makes them ideal for gamers and hobbyists who frequently handle their creations during gameplay or exhibitions.

They are incredibly versatile and can fit into numerous themes:

  1. Fantasy: Create magical settings with glowing gemstones or enchanted minerals.
  2. Sci-Fi: Add alien landscapes or futuristic terrains with unique crystal formations.
  3. Post-Apocalyptic: Use crystals to depict radioactive or mutated environments.
  4. Natural Scenery: Incorporate them into realistic rock formations for dioramas or display pieces.

How Are Resin Crystals Used in Modeling and Wargaming?

They are versatile and easy to use in a variety of applications, including:

  1. Miniature Bases: Add them to the bases of your miniatures to simulate magical gemstones, or natural mineral formations.
  2. Dioramas: Enhance fantasy or sci-fi scenes with realistic natural formations that bring the story to life.
  3. Terrain and Scenery: Use them to decorate wargaming boards, adding unique and eye-catching details to terrain pieces.

They can be applied with modeling glue, cyanoacrylate glue, or other adhesives, making the process straightforward and accessible for hobbyists of all experience levels.
