Personally, I'd prefer white polystyrene bodies over resin. They can be made to look as good, if not better, and being vacuum-formed are cheaper to make.
Polystyrene also sands and sprays / paints nicely (its a similar but more flexible and resilient material than used for injection-moulded plastic glue together kits) and is of course much lighter than resin. They can also be produced in various thicknesses and 'under-cuts', as with vacuum-forming PETG, are not a problem.
For those who prefer using screws to mount bodies, body-mounting posts can easily be glued into the shells.
Ask Victor Ferguson to make the moulds for you, Sean!
Kind regards
