Yay!! Tracks are in, that's me a happy camper

Fantastic stuff!

About half an hour left - can we get the Walker Platform funded as well?!

That tracked unit looks prety awesome. Well I need the stationary ones more for my purposes, I could see using a handful of the tracked ones.



Agien I look foreword to when these go to retail. Best of luck, and congrats on the successful kickstarter!

Yup, 4 Hours left and the Wheeled Self-Propelled Platform is unlocked, can we make it to the Tracked Self-Propelled Platform as well?

This coupling rod looks really out of place! it doesn't connect roadwheels to reciprocating cylinder by any means. I don't think this vehicle will work unless the siderods are hooked to cylinders or top wheels meow~

^ Look at Canadian Pacific 0-8-0 switcher and you'll understood why siderods are needed to be hooked to reciprocating cylinders meow~

So noted Lone Cat, we'll discuss that!

And funded!

Thank you to all of our 175 backers who have pledged £8,822 in total to the campaign, giving us 441% funding!

We're now going to set about getting all the funded products ready for printing and scheduled delivery for December!

The campaign may be over, but progress continues with Kit from Zinge Industries Limited busy working on turning concepts into finalised designs.

On that note we have the Barrage Balloon Anchor,




and the Flame Cannon.




We also have a work in progress shot of the Flac Cannon,its changed alot from the original design taking on board all the feedback we've had from backers. I've got to say I'm really loving the way this one is coming together now myself!

^ Is it crew-served weapon or automations? meow~

Either possible Lone Cat!

Right, image dump time, more to come!

Good details on tracked steam carriage. the driving wheels got siderods. but tell me about siderods that connects the lower roadwheels please? I still don't see that it is connected to reciprocating piston mew!

You'd need to talk to Kit about that I'm afraid Lone Cat!

A little pre-release today, I've a small stock of Joseph Selman's new Desert Infantry torso's on the store, with a 20% pre-release discount. This is a little experiment with heads and torso's combined so to allow the cloth of the head gear to flow properly. Once the remaining pre-release stock is gone these will not be available until late October/early November.





Also in the store, amongst a few restocks, are separate standing legs which have been requested a few times.



And the return of the Tank Commander.

And desert infantry puttee legs?

Also. tell me about about the two things please
1. Vickers leman russ
2. Praetorians 'Battle of Orks Drift' (and the planet this battle took place... if there's canon sources about it)

If the desert infantry are successful then legs for those - with Puttee's - will be next on the agenda.

Vickers Leman Russ, you'll need to elaborate?

There was little official material on the Praetorians, but you'll find it on my blog.

http://colgravis.blogspot.co.uk/2009/09/praetorian-imperial-guard-background.html

Actually there's a description about 'Vickers leman russ' in the PM i've sent you. but I can show some of it here

Vickers Leman Russ .. or Vickers pattern Leman Russ. for me it means any amalgamation of Vickers interwar tanks (especially the 6-ton Mark E, but it may be something else) and generic Leman Russ. Googling however, yielding various results related to 40k IG army. Usually found on Warseer threadhead thread. (yet none of these identified these tanks as Vickers leman russ)
The results including these followings.

- http://www.warseer.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=160573 (Death Korps of Krieg MBT built on the princriples of different Russian heavy tank... which actually another copycat of Vickers heavy vehicles)
- http://www.warseer.com/forums/showthread.php?14209-The-Imperial-Guard-Tread-head-thread/page603 ... This is the most perfect amalgamation of Vickers 6-ton Mark E and any Leman Russ! ... effectively the Mark E cylindrical turret on what appears to be WW1 Mark 1 tank. my most favorite!

I don't know if Vickers actually produced WW1 tanks too? but these things are sure to mount Vickers HMG as well.
- http://www.warseer.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=7730&d=1144245223 Praetorian Leman Russ Exterminator in Khaki. the tank commander doesn't wear Khaki however
- http://sitodellanello.altervista.org/joomla/index.php?option=com_kunena&func=view&catid=18&id=25842&Itemid=112This is actual Vickers 6-ton Mark E ported into the 40k universe. sadly it belongs to an Italian-skeaking Ork Waaagh!... this thing... might.. however, used to be Imperial vehicles.


In Conclusion. the definiton of 'Vickers Leman Russ' is that either any aspects of Vickers 6-ton Mark E (or any Vickers product) had been included into any Leman Russ. (Including that the Leman Russ in question uses leaf springs double bogie suspension instead of coil springs with hydraulic assistances. What's your design proposals?

I just ordered five not tallarns and some chian sabres for ash wasters.... thanks!!

Honestly Lone Cat, I don't have one at present, for now I've no plans on vehicle projects, though that will likely change once the current Kickstarter with Zinge Industries is finished, and the third mini-Kickstarter - coming soon - is underway.

rustproof, they'll be on their way to you a little later today! Hope you like em! I think Joseph has done an excellent job with these!

Just a little something from myself today, part of the most recent batch of stuff I've had back from the casters is the new 'Dragoon Guard' head, though confusingly I'll be using putting them to use on my Life Guard Storm Troopers for my Games Workshop Praetorian Imperial Guard army.

Waiting on a production mould now with this set of heads, and some others - Bearskins, revised Picklehaubes and Adrian's coming alongside the Desert Infantry at the end of this month/early next!

Those heads do look very pretty on those Stormtrooper bodies!

Siamese Adrian heads.. Meowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww~ This is what i'm waiting for! it fits puttee legs best meow~

Yeah I'm pretty pleased with them Ketara, cant wait for the delivery, Ive got a couple of squads waiting!

I'm kind of happy now that I never got around to painting up my Victoria Miniatures pith helmet head Storm Troopers now. Time for an order and a head swap.

I need to get them done before the new Kickstarter goods turn up. No pressure by the way.

Look at this Solar Auxilia with Lasrifle!



Look at their rifles. while at first glance it looks abit like like Brown bess with laser lock and Tommygun drum magazine. I am not really sure if the wooden parts are made of one-piece wood like a generic early modern muskets and WW1-era bolt action rifles. my favorite but too bad nobody is making any version of lasgun except FW mew!

(Or maybe i'd better stick with 'modern' equipment like M-Galaxy thing mew!)

You've already snaffled money from me for those ltd edition torsos Rob. Now you're doing cool looking heads I can't afford but will probably buy anyway.

At this rate, you're going to make me need to get my wallet psychiatric counselling for all these violations!

Concept art of my future project that will use Adrian Helmet head. The WW2 Siamese army of the 41st millenium. the uniform and body armor choices are really hard to decide which one looks best for them? one in the right is loosely based on Warzone Imperial Trenchers. while everyone can think that the 'Imperial' megacorps is based around the WW1 British. their helmet looks quite close to French adrian. rather than British broadie.

I'm yet to design their lasrifle choices BTW. whether should they stick to Mauser rifles / pre-WW2 semiautomatic rifles, or modern pulserifle aesthetics that both WH40k and WZ uses?

I have to say I rather like the middle one actually!

The Dragoon Guard heads are finally on sale from the Curious Constructs webstore, HERE!



Also new today, are the Adrian Helmet Heads,



Bearskins,



and Kepi head sets.

Are they all just replicas of one face? No variation to mix it up a bit, like the pith helmeted ones?

Yes, just one variation at the moment, my intention is too do more variations depending on popularity.

Gah. See, I'll be honest with you, I simply wouldn't purchase as things stand purely because it would be exceptionally difficult for me to get get any variety. I could chuck in one or two various unhelmeted heads in a squad of five stormtroopers to mix it up a little, but if the remaining three suffer from attack of the clones syndrome, then I'm forced into trying to sculpt 'taches and stuff. Which I'm not very good at.

FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MEOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW~

Adrian heead is one thing to initiate the new IG army, yet another pieces are needed. for example the puttee legs, new torso with a big gorget
(Flak armor) and shirts i've shown you my concept art . and different arms with Lasrifle similar to Mauser G98 and its derivatives. the arms with shoulder pads please

one lil thing. do you have Leman Russ/Chimera sprocket wheel templates for both classic track wheels and ork gun wheels? meow~
