Speaking of concepts, Jake, any chance of you making some nice revolvers somewhere down the line? I love bolt pistols, but I'd love them even more if they're revolvers.

I almost don't want to get them cuz I'd have to cut them to fit them in a models hands :(
I'm so torn!!

Was just looking at the gun carriage models on the webstore, and was wondering if the small artillery wheels still fit the artillery carriage chassis, to make a more WWII themed artillery carriage, and if so, whether you have any examples of that to show us?
Liking the Webley revolver idea too BrookM Solid pistol.

Ranger torsos will come in handy as well, any idea on the BIKE release date I have asked a couple of times but seems to get overlooked ?
Sorry about that, the bikes are still on my desk as I am currently working on riders. Hope to have them released before the end of year.

Now we just need a series of good looking greatcoat legs.
Got some W.I.P.

I can't wait to see what other goodies she's got under wraps to show us.
Vic, if not for your bits, my Chem-Dogs would look awfully plain.

The hub pin attachment for the carriage is bigger than the hole in the small wheel, but it should be pretty easy for any experienced modeler to shave down the pin to fit.

'Upcoming releases, among other things will see some great accessories for artillery and vehicles, empty rifle arms, APC wheel conversion kit and a little surprise for your Knight.'
Sounds great. I could be totally wrong but I've been guessing what that '...little surprise for your Knight' might be. Dare I say Knight pilot?

V might have some WIP shots in a week or two to show you of my current projects for you guys and gals though.
But for now I must leave, it's time to give myself lung cancer as a new shipment of goodies from V arrived at my door AND my Reaver Titan rocked up as well.
I'll try being nicer if you'll try being smarter.

Still waiting and hoping for female Victorian Guard and Tannenburg Fusiliers... I am hoping the female Arcadians did well enough to warrant more female additions to the other regiments.

Vic's busy for a while again, new play just hit rehearsals, so I've taken over the Captain's Chair. Again. And I am DRUNK WITH POWER!
There is a new female regiment in the works. Well, a femaleing of another of the regiments in the works, I should say. That said, essentially sculpting 5 full figures and accessories is a VERY time consuming process. (There's a reason I haven't finished my Tech Guard yet...)
So as of right now there is no ETA, and no, I cannot tell you what the regiment is. I would if I could, but when I talked to Vic about it last she said "oh, you know, it's those ones" while waving vaguely without having the webcam on even.
I promise I will do a full court press for information when I see her in person at the end of the month, since we're both going to be on a panel at PAX in Melbourne. I'm hoping my wallet is deep enough to provide enough wine to get her to spill all the secrets!
In regards to the Knight stuff, there's one item coming shortly, and two more a bit beyond that. One was waiting for Victoria to finalise an idea, but since it's been (literally) months, I'm just going to storm ahead and do it, since I'm just that awesome. The other needs a consult with the caster, which is scheduled for the weekend, and then I can ship it off to be prototyped once the required changes are made. I'm sorry, neither is a crew figure.
But if you really really want crew, I can look into that...

Tech Guard??? you know that need some details - do we have those in the pipeline as well? If so please do spill the beans - the unit I need most that is!

"The language of modern British politics is meant to sound benign. But words do not mean what they seem to mean. 'Reform' actually means 'cut' or 'end'. 'Flexibility' really means 'exploit'. 'Prudence' really means 'don't invest'. And 'efficient'? That means whatever you want it to mean, usually 'cut'. All really mean 'keep wages low for the masses, taxes low for the rich, profits high for the corporations, and accept the decline in public services and amenities this will cause'." - Robin McAlpine from Common Weal
