Wine and Beer Bottles Resin Set

Tap room stock in resin

Two sprues bring four different bottle shapes: a beer bottle in a small and a large version, and a wine bottle likewise in two sizes. There are seven pieces of each shape in the package, twenty-eight castings in all. The material chosen is clear resin, so the necks and the bodies let light through.

Where such a detail earns its place

An inn, a field canteen, a store behind the front, an abandoned kitchen or a forgotten tavern from a fantasy world. Four different shapes make it possible to lay the vessels out so that the scene does not look lined up with a ruler: a couple of bottles standing, one lying down, two tucked under the table. The size is matched to figures twenty-eight to thirty-five millimeters tall.

Painting a transparent material

Beer bottles take on character from a dark amber or green tinting varnish applied inside the opening, while wine bottles will take a darker shade up to brown. Leaving one or two clear is a good idea, as empty glass adds variety to a scene. Labels can be suggested with a faint stripe of light paint laid on with the tip of a brush, as nothing more is legible at this size.

Preparing the castings

Cut the gates off with a sharp knife and sand the mark they leave with the finest abrasive, otherwise the vessel will not stand upright. Degreasing in lukewarm water with a detergent is in order before painting, as any mold release agent would otherwise repel the paint. The package holds these castings alone, with no figures, no furniture and no crates to stand the bottles in. Boxes and shelves are therefore up to you.
