my thoughts too.... I guess an equivalent to the basilisk? or hydra? a heavy hitter for sure!

Artillery is my guess - that detail is a levelling plate for the chassis. Good timing, presuming the style suits a certain green-skinned race

I was thinking toe of a dreadnought, with locking screw to secure it while firing, but as with everyone else I'd be happy with a big gun .

Another day another teaser

Yes, definitely a big gun...

Hi Guys - Here is what's happening:

Zinge Industries and Curious Constructs are Kickstarting a gun platform and a range of 4 heavy support weapons.

If the project goes well we have a great set of stretch goals lined up and maybe even a few freebies.

The guns are compatible with the original Curious Constructs Kickstarter carriage and vice versa for the guns on the platform.

Follow us on Facebook and Twitter for the latest updates

*These images are “works in progress” and subject to change

Very nice!

Any plans to offer the CC gun carriages as options, too?

NO steam?

Teaser was full of hot air!

Awesome stuff guys

Looks good but just a few suggestions.

The position of the operators panel seems a little odd imo ie: 180 to the barrel and directly behind the breech..Having been in Arty, albeit a long time ago. this was never a good place to be standing... Maybe its supposed to be automated? Also needs I think more decking/access around the rear for re-loading etc.

Keep up the good work, bought quite a few of your bits and pieces and never fail to be impressed with the quality.

Awesome - what's the size of this thing?

I got some of the Curious Constructs guns after their campaign, and they're great. I'm using them for fantasy, though- these here are clearly SciFi (not necessarily a bad thing!).

Very curious on size, if these can replace my heavy weapon teams or thunderfires ill be happy

The Kickstarter is getting a lot of interest and a lot of Questions some of which I can't answer until the KS is Live. We are putting together an FAQ to answer these queries. Please feel free to ask anything and we will try to include it in the FAQ.

Chocks away chaps!

We need your help now to get these new kits including a Gun Platform, Heavy Caliber Machine Gun, Rocket Launcher, Mortar and Cannon into production, with more to come!

Check out the campaign page, which is,

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/649754189/steampunk-infantry-support-weapons-28mm-miniatures

Oh and don't forget these new weapons, and the platform, compatible as well with the existing Field Artillery kits just for good measure!

O great you want more of my money

And now you have it or at least in reserve till the kickstarter finishes

Less then 24 hours later - and we're fully funded

Thank you to everyone who's backed us so far!

Cheers

Kit

I'd recommend attaching the link to page 1 of this, or adding a direct link on your site and in the bottom of your posts, especially once a page wrap happens. Might make it easier to get to the kickstarter and spend some cash .

Albanus Zinge would like to present:
the latest images from the Kickstarter found here:

As cool as the Kickstarter stuff is, is there any update on that awesome little modular buggy shown a few pages back?

itching to get my paws on one of them...

I asked Kit the same thing just yesterday and it turned out there was some issue with the 3D print so it is being re-tooled which means a release delay

Hopefully not to long though

@ Nicky J - as LDD says (thanks Roy) we have had a couple of quality issues with the 3D prints so we are getting some redone and also taking the opportunity to tweak the design for a better / easier model to assemble.

Not sure of an ETA but we are working on it

Next image from the Kickstarter:

The Multi Mortar

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/649754189/steampunk-infantry-support-weapons-28mm-miniatures/posts?page=2

Dam another one added I will have to up my amount at this rate

Good to see that you take pride in your work, holding back to fix some issues instead of just rushing it to market due to demand.

P.S. Glad I could help

@Roy - Thanks, will try to make sure the rest of the stretch goals will be less exciting - I am sure the Flame cannon and various self propelled platforms won't interest you at all

Hi Everybody,
Here we have some more images from the on going Kickstarter. To find more especially about the pigeon pending targeting system head over to The Kickstarter to see what Albanus has to say in the various updates. We are fast approaching the next stretch goals so feel free to spread the word we can reveal the next images.
Cheers
Kit

Multi-mortar and buzz-bomb look nice

@ Shasolenzabi - thanks they were great fun to create

Next strech goal unlocked:

The flame cannon is a delightful horrid weapon assuming you are stood the right side of the trusty gun shield. To prepare the contraption an almost insignificant pilot light is ignited inside the cavernous cowel of the barrel. A high speed fan is coaxed into life and once thrumming nicely the weapon is set. To fire pulling the first lever opens the barrel to the airflow and the second lever allows the gasohol to be drawn up the snaking pipes along the barrels length. Upon hitting the pilot the now vapourised gasohol bursts into flame and the whole conflagration is carried toward

the unfortunate enemy at gale force. Mr Badger a local painter and decorator who saw the Flame Cannons inaugural test seems really taken with the concept and had some barmy idea about using it to paint his house of all things – Good luck! I say.

I still have no idea what I am going to do with these but they look so dam awesome I had to get a battery or 2

Heh....I still have no idea what I'm doing with the last lot....but I know these need to be added to the pile Especially if those track units come about

I know what I am doing with those now, maybe in a year or 2 I will know what I will be doing with these

Your all very lovely

Just £44 to unlock the Wheeled ZIMP™

The Zinge Industries Mobile Platform (ZIMP™) is a multi-purpose platform which can accommodate most Zinge Industries support weapons and can be supplied with your choice of wheels, tracks or legs according to taste.

The main body for the ZIMP™ is common through out the range and it is powered by the standard ZI-S-Engine. This reliable yet powerful powersource drives the large flywheel built into the chest of the beast, allowing the remote operator to send power to the required function of the platform be that for'd and aft movement or rotation of the weapon. The selectable rotating optic head on the front allow the operator to see what threats the platform is facing on the battlefield and choose their targets accordingly. All this is achieved from the relative safety provided by the ingenious Tesla Corporation remote system of which unfortunately we can say very little.

Surprisingly there is no steering mechanism built into the ZIMP. This means that the wheeled ZIMP steers very similar to a common tank, by rotating one side faster than the other or counter rotating the wheels to really spin ZIMP round quickly. The sprung suspension keeps the mounted weapon on target over the roughest terrain.

Just four hours to go!

The Wheeled Self-Propelled Platform is now funded, one last effort towards the Tracked Platform perhaps? As previously alluded too, the tracks are fully reversible giving you two assembly options potentially.

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/649754189/steampunk-infantry-support-weapons-28mm-miniatures

Great Result on the Kickstarter I think

I now have a huge load of CAD Work to wade through and a bunch of products to get up on the website. Stay tuned for updates

The first of which is the V6 ZingeN The V6 Developed for the forth coming buggy coming to a site near you soon!

Hi Guys,

Got some news:

Zinge is Now a limited company

We will be getting proper premises in a week or 2 and training our first employee.

Limited company.....unlimited potential , needs me some of those big cables.

Where do I apply for a job then

Congrats and looking forward to seeing some more great things

YTS they destroyed them years ago

Love, LOVE the searchlight on the Kickstarter platform.

Can I request one? A huge radar array?

Good work Kit, as always

Cheers Guys - leave the YTS kid outta this he has a hard enough time dealing with Gareth and my Divaish behavior

Here some more renders:

I... I need that searchlight.... I need like 12 of them.

Yup, that searchlight's going to be popular with terrain modellers - a few will look great on any fortification, even if only for looks. (Although I'm sure some gaming systems will be able to use them in game as well.)

Cheers Guys - I had no idea the industry was crying out for a searchlight!

Got some new releases for you:

Much requested 27mm Wide Military Wheels


Set of 4 Hand wheels


Tiny Pistons


Clear Dark Magic Globes


Cheers

Kit

Nice additions Kit!

Excellent! I will be ordering about 8 or 10 packages of the new wide wheels. But it seems like every time I place an order, you immediately afterward come out with some really cool items that I MUST HAVE. What else is in the pipeline, and how long before they arrive in the store?

Thanks Git!

Mr Zogg - The next update will probably be next month now.

Cheers

Because of this i now want a zingelin man figure

Heya Zing

Made an Order a bit back and was emailing about an ETD.

but i cant seem to send you emails. wondering if anything is up or if it is just me.

Hi Desubot - I am afraid it could be you - I have not received any emails to my knowledge. Please make an enquiry through the website, or pm me here on Dakka.

Your order will have shipped 24hrs after ordering and (except weekends).

USA normally takes a week.

Cheers

Kit

Mk no problems. il have to see whats up with me gmail :/

Some US service providers (Comcast) treat automated messages from UK sources as SPAM automagically. I have problems with it every time I try to set up an account on UK forums and never get the confirmation emails.

Love the wide wheels, but the sidewall info kills the car geek in me....

Those would have to be more of a T355/65R/15 probably with a lower PSI rating too, something closer to 15-20PSI.

They look great though.

Oh god Zinge, please make the searchlights a thing. I need roughly uh, uh...

Well, I'm not going to get into how many I need. Probably the same amount as the rivets you sell.

@ Stormwall - its coming - pics below

@ 92acclude - yeah about that errrr...

@ adamsouza - Cheers Dude

@ desubot - I hope everything turned out ok?

And here are some pics of the first few casts

Those are just amazing. No idea what I'd use them for... but they are fantastic sculpts.

Spoooooooootliiiiiiiiigggghhhhhtttttsssss. Yes!

Yup, so much awesome there.

That's really terrific stuff.

Nice stuff, but why has the first one different tires?

Not gonna lie...

I may have peed a little when I saw this.




Would it be possible to get some scale shots of these new products?

 Snrub wrote:

I second this on all accounts.

Well, swap that image with a spotlight. It's like... the market had no spotlights, so I started to make my own to cast up and give out to cool PM blogs.

Then Zinge and some others I am following deliver us our spotlight fix. I guess a light was shined on the problem... Now I might have to wait a bit to get some but, I will. I will probably get a lot frog both but, I think these ones are cooler and larger(?)

Edit: 11/30/14. I feel rude for asking this (PM if it is,) but, Zinge do you have a set of treads that would make a nice base for this TFC kitbash? Not going to lie, I was originally going to use Anvil Taurus gun platforns for landing gears for my Stormraven and this TFC's base but, they're waay too small. So I am looking for treads that are as long as this project. (Techmarine for scale.) I guess I'm trying to find a way to stuff bit-companies-on-Dakka's forums into my projects.

I was really looking forward to lots of little xmas treats like last year - are we getting any this year?

@ Manus - that would be telling

@ Stormwall - sorry didn't see your question - The quad or tri track could work or there is the individual bit set or there are a new set of tracks coming out with the KS http://zinge.co.uk/index.php?route=product/category&path=25

@ Sneub - Cheers dude

@ Jehan-reznor - because I only had to of the new wheels cast

And now another forth coming sneaky peek:

Pipes, rivets and hazard stripes...shiny...your sir cater for us in earnest!

Vik they aint hazard stripes they are Ork motifs of the pipes and rivets I will let you have

Why O why do you people keep releasing cool stuff when I am so broke come on kit its almost Christmas

Hell while we are at it any news on the ........ do I even need to say it

Zinge, get ready for a new order as I need more parts to finish a new and maybe some future tank projects!

Now is the bottom pic a conversion set for a certain vehicle that looks crap without wheels or am i totally wrong here

Bendable I beams, perfect for superhero games to wrap up your villan, or to bend it into an outline of someone's profile like all those old cartoon shows .

Gross minis are gross! I want them all.

Those bendable beams would be great for the wrecked deadzone terrain, or any modern/sci-fi ruins.

Rose's are red Violets aren't blue (clue in the name) rhyming is hard - sorry Roy :(

Those wheels are awesome once I check the size they will be great for beefing up a few cars me thinks

And what's with the sad face

Well, my tires I got are blanks, so they do not give away the planet of origin, manufacturer away.

No stamp of "Zingelin" on them. :(

Those aren't Tesla Coils, they're infinity style Christmas trees .

Damn even more stuff to add to the buy list, I was hoping to get back in the black in the new year

Loving the jerry cans have a few cars needing storage for fuel

Zinge's master plan is to lure me in with two sets of really nice treads and spotlights, then get hooked on his products that he continues to put forward...

Like those coils he made, which would be perfect for radar dish attennas...

Ah heck, here comes an order.

Dang, Jerry cans as well! My armored cars and trucks will need those for long patrols!

Glad you guys a re enjoying the new releases

I can't find any in "gods scale" that rant already attached to something.

Quit making awesome Stuff that would go perfectly in the Gargant I want to build and can't afford.at this rate 90% of the gubbins will be Zinge products.

Handle holds, oh man! and I normally do that with bent paperclips.

You could almost say that the handle sprue would come in "handy"

@shasolenzabi - yeah me too

http://zinge.co.uk/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=701

Zombie catcher

Im making a Land Raider Achilles with as many 3rd party bits on it as I can without making it look stupid - the servo arm will go well with Bitspudlo's loading arm

Must hold out on ordering until the 12 days are up....

Me too I want to see what happens on the 12th although as this is Zingemass I am hoping for a 13th day maybe a certain buggie arriving

Loving the Large Servo Arm. I think with a tiny modification or two this will make for a fine Smasha Gun base for Orks.

@LDD the 13th may be a little way off :(

@Charax - surely there is no such thing as too many

@ Ian - would love to see that!

I love your decals... they're just such a cool idea (like so many others of yours). Huzzah Zinge!

Are we getting individual sets for each decal? I'd probably only use three of those

That Vehicle Servo Arm could make a great CCW for dreads/dredds/kanz and other walkers. Possibly slightly too big for mega-armoured Nobz?

Charax wrote:

I was wondering the same thing. Especially since individual sets seem to have more sizes of decals.

The sprue seems to be sold out already anyway!

Looks like the 13th will just have to be a friday deal then

@ Gitsplitta - Cheers dude - your very lovely

@ Charax - Some yes - depends on demand

@ Clang - Might be a little small for such things - but with feed back it could be made bigger (hence the trial)

@ Darkseid - Will get casting more now the Kickstarter and 23 days of Zingemas/Christmas are done (What was I thinking! )

@ LDD - Hopefully not too long

On the 12th day of Christmas Zinge Releases The APC Conversion Kit

http://zinge.co.uk/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=704

Bout time.


Will the axle and bits come separately eventually? or will it only be available by bundle?

Hmmmm, more vehicle bitz! TASTY!

Hmm. That makes things interesting...

SOLD !!!!!!

Lol, I'm sure I'd be responsible for 90% of your castellated decal strip sales. Have been waiting over a year for them now.

Well shitfire, that's a nice conversion kit, bit late though, as I've already bought two sets of wheels from you. You wouldn't happen to sell those vision blocks on their own now would you?

Actually, if you guys made varying sizes and shapes of those gun barrel tips... things to make a plastic tube look more like a las cannon or what not... it might really help the kit bashers and scratch builders out.

Just a thought.

But the most brilliant thought!!!!!!!

Loving those muzzle flash suppressors for the Taurox main gun

I think we should gather support for Zinge having a 365 days of xmas, insted of just the 12 - really what kept me first work hour worth showing up to!
What do you say guys, should we put the pressure on Kit?

Cheers kit

Some Wrigley Tin used in some rubble terrain. Lovely little bits and adds a bit of character to the pieces I think.

Just got my Kickstarter artillery pieces yesterday and they look amazing such fun

I have to say you guys have done a great job from design to casting once again love everything plus thanks for the extras

Now to place my order with you guys unless that buggy is nearly done yet

APC Vehicle Conversion Sprues are now available separately

http://zinge.co.uk/index.php?route=product/category&path=109_124

@Desubot - Yes

@shasolenzabi - Cheers

@BrookM - Yes

@Git we already have something of that ilk on the cards

@Manus - 23 - nearly killed me

@RobertsMinis - Very nice - looking forward to adding them to my own stuff!

@Roy - Thanks for the support fella! Buggy is still a little way off - just crossing eyes and dotting Ts its my most complicated kit yet and i want to get it just right!

And now - back to sailing on the wide accountant sea! Tax season ahoy!

Cheers

Kit

Hopefully placing an order this weekend if the funds are there its going to be a bit costly me thinks

Placed my last order on Sunday, got it Tuesday Fantastic service as always Kit.

Loving the flexible pipes, I can see lots of uses for them. Made two orders so far this year, both had a set of those in, and I know I'll be adding some to my next order too.

Hey Zinge, finally placed that order. You can blame Shas for that, he's like a paid advertiser for you I can't wait for it to arrive.

any news on that buggy Kit?

We don't speak of the buggy kit

He keeps telling me it's coming but I am starting to wonder

Met Kit and Gareth today at HammerHead great guys had quick chat and got to see and buy some cool stuff

One of the best thing was there £1 box as I got to pick up some unreleased wheels for bikes and dune buggy wheels they are awesome and the casts were amazing full of detail.

Also found out the buggy has a few issues that Kit was not happy with ( although I thought it looked great myself ) so he has done some modifications and the new print should be heading his way (hopefully) some time in March.

Anyway it was a great day out and it was cool to finally meet them in person, now if you can make the bike bodies ...................... LOL NO SERIOUSLY

Kit ought to go to my plog and comment! I have more images up that have Zinge stuff in them!

Thought I'd share the use of sone Zinge bits. Love that massive servoarm - but the best thing you do is all those packed "various" bits you supply. An endless joy for the converter. Thanks





A few more pics in my blog if you should be interested.

That servo arm does look "crushy"

While still a wip, my tank now goes vroooom vrooom. Zinge is really top notch stuff.

And I finally got to use the BFG set by Zinge, married it to a Mad Robot Miniatures character

Hi Guys,

Thanks for the pictures I really do appreciate them.

Was great to put a face to the name at Hammerhead - Roy!

Sorry the £1 show box is show only :(

Prep for Salute continues

Cheers

Kit

Hey Kit, can't wait for Salute! I always make a point to come see you & Joel first. Are the new decal; strips going to be back in stock in time for a collect at Salute order? I desperately need Castellations for my Knight

Hi Guys,

We will be accepting collection orders until late Wednesday.

We are a little late to the party but Zinge Industries will be there with our world famous £1 Bits Box!
http://zinge.co.uk/


We have a sale on our last few Basius Basing pads £12 each or £15 with a pack of Green stuff (18").
http://zinge.co.uk/index.php?route=product/category&path=130


And we will be releasing our Modular Military buggy!

@Charax - we will have some - not sure if the site will update before we pack up for the trip.

Ooops!

Nearly forgot:

We have now released the Staempunk Models from the Curious/ ZInge Industries Kickstarter Last Year

http://zinge.co.uk/index.php?route=product/category&path=144

Cheers

Kit

YES AT LONG LAST THE BUGGY HAS ARRIVED

I will also like to say those Steampunk Artillery weapons are amazing truly amazing one of the best investments so far

Ok, well I'll be by to pick up a buggy at the very least

I have just lost my wallet (that never happens when it's empty does it?) so that puts a bit of a crimp on my spending this year, but that has to be a must

That buggy looks fantastic. Can't wait to orkify a couple!

@LDD - You and me both!

@Monkeytroll - Bummer dude! - seem to remeber you left half your purchases on the stand one year

@ hurtmypony - looking forward too seeing the orkified

Here is a photo of the Buggy accessory sprue which includes 3 different exhausts, wing mirrors, fire extinguisher, NoZ tank and even some fluffy dice

Oh now that's brilliant!

How can you put fuzzy dice on the sprue without including an eight-ball stick shift, chainlink steering wheel, and the Joe Dirt footprint gas pedal?!

Umm, that might have been a thing

Ha awesome love the upgrade sprue especially the fuzzy dice

Is there a way to get two of these in autocannon and then one as a spotlight? Or can I just buy them individually? I may just need a flak gun or two, an autocannon, and a spotlight!

I'm so excited, this is wonderful! Bravo!

Also the buggy, yes!!!!!

They are sold individually so you can have what mix you want mate.

@LDD - Cheers

@Stormwall - In each section there are 1 or 2 option boxes to fine tune your choices -let me know if you need any help http://zinge.co.uk/index.php?route=product/category&path=144

@the_armyman - we can always do a 2nd sprue - nice ideas

@Git - Cheers dude!

And now :

Military Buggy Twin linked Lewis Guns

Well if your going all out for a second sprue don't forget the dashboard Hula Girl

Make it that cheer leader ork

what is the eta on the buggy then?
available at salute? or after that?
price?
etc

basically: moar info please

Still waiting on the wider treads

@Shaslenzabi - will table it at our next meeting - might beable to give you an idea of viability.

@Nicky J - It will be available at Salute and probably a week later on site stock dependent.

@Desubot -

@LDD -

Some more shots of the buggy with various accessories - Anybody care to guess how many parts the buggy comes in? (n.b. Not all are required to build i.e various exhausts etc)

A driver body (or two - one ork, one human) would make the buggy an easier sell to me. Converting miniatures to fit into seats is a pain in the backside.

Love the accessory sprue. I hope that will be available separately.

42 parts .....

@Shaslenzabi - will table it at our next meeting - might beable to give you an idea of viability.

Very nice! I appreciate that, and so my fellow Yanks know, overseas Tabling it is bringing it up across the pond, as opposed to the opposite here in America where Tabling it means putting it off till next time. Good thing I had International Business Communication class as one of my Comms courses.

Buggy looks quite tasty!

Seconded. I've seen far too many open-topped vehicles with 'invisible drivers' because the owner couldn't find a suitable figure and wasn't a good converter.

Hmm, maybe that's a market niche Zinge could exploit - a choice of legs at different angles, a choice of generic torsos, and a choice of pairs of arms holding various steering wheels. (We can supply the heads ourselves...)

Yea a price point for the buggy and if possible a largish brutish driver and gunner would be swell I am looking to buy at least 6 of them

The current GW orks fit quite well - that was lucky

 zinge wrote:

This is awesome news! Was worried about my go-to ork driver conversion, the Kromlech one, fitting.

Now, I don't need 'em, since I can use the standard boy.

That's the Loota/Burna Boyz legs, with both feet flat on the ground, as opposed to the standard Boyz legs which have a 'walking' pose with one foot only partly on the ground, right?

Good to know, thanks.

Excuse me

http://zinge.co.uk/index.php?route=product/product&path=18_94&product_id=114

Are the large (3.1 cm) and medium cog wheels compatible with standard GW Imperial tank tracks?. can these cog wheels be driving sprockets?

Having used the wheels and track shoes, the smaller wheels maybe, but the really big one is more superheavy sized, of course I fiddled around and the set up can make a large sized FT-17 tread section like that.

Hi Guys,

I am delighted to finally announce the release of the long awaited Modular Buggy!

See our May Newsletter here: http://us8.campaign-archive1.com/?u=992edde28d7dba8e9ff0b6143&id=446a8039ee

Have a great Bank holiday weekend

Cheers

@ hurtmypony

@ LDD Higher

@ Clang - I believe there is a set on the noraml sprue which will fit - will dig out my bits shortly

@ Lone cat - sorry for the late reply - not really sure what you mean - care to elaborate?

@ Shas - Glad someone knows the Cat is talking about

Can we get some sense of scale on the "large crystals"?

I Will try and sort some photos but the crystals are nominally 20mm (longest dimension)

Got it. Thanks.

Time to buy people time to buy ......... trust you Kit to finally release it when I am skint

I'm asking you whether does the Zinge tank sprocket cogwheels fit with Leman Russ track teeth? and does the 21mm Zinge sprocket wheels shares the same size with any classic Leman Russ track wheels?

I have 4 cats in the house, and speak Catonese :p

The smaller wheels will fit the angles of a Leman, they have the right width to fit inside the Leman Tracks outer teeth, yes, and the Zinge Track pieces also are the same width of the Leman Russ tracks, (I actually checked). Zinge track section do have a 4pieces as one and a triple and double, but the whole Zinge tracks have a internal hinge, so it would not work with the old Leman Russ wheels unless you glued them in further than the old tank tread sections did.

The cogwheels will fit inside the Leman Russ track teeth ultimately.

Budget is tight this week, so I only ordered one. But I got some nice conversion bits to go along with it for my ever-growing ork bit arsenal!

Dah boyz kin 'ardly wait for dem new wheels comin'. First fing deys gonna do is some rekreational roadkillin' til dem crash bars is gud an' shiny wiff plenty o squished git guts.

Tell our biker boyz dis Sunz ov Anorky Klan is expandin' to 4 wheels now, boyz, fanks to dat weedy git mek ova at Zinge.

'E made us so 'appy we ain't gonna krump 'em. (Today.)

@ Lone Cat - Right think I understand and thank you Shas for the comprehensive answer

@ hurtmypony - Rockin - looking forward to some pics!

@Git - Pic attached

Oooh forgot pics of the WIP Half track from Salute

Tracks look pretty cool plus could double for ork vehicles or even a large grot tank

I gather the graininess of the print is because it's cheaper for the test print

Yup - test print - to check size etc

Thought as much will you be selling the tracks individually ?

You wager your donkey we will

I only have an ass and it don't smell too good

I have placed my order by the way sorry I can't stretch to more than 3 buggies at the moment, I will get more later though plus I hope to see an armour upgrade kit for it soon


O yes any chance of making a start on some bikes now

And this M3 track appears to fit snuggly with Taurox suspension unit without further knifeworks.
correct?

"@ Lone Cat - Right think I understand and thank you Shas for the comprehensive answer "

No problem! Just your friendly neighborhood tread-head helping out!

Got the package on Friday or Saturday, but didn't have time to open my little prize until last night.

Unfortunately, I have quite a busy schedule, coupled with a painting backlog, so I won't get to this project immediately, but I just wanted to say how impressed I am!

Not only is the vehicle itself rich with customization options, it is also rich with character.

While I am no expert in the world of hobby modeling, I buy things all the time from GW and most of the third party ork suppliers and the casting on this buggy is superb. All the details are crisp and fine, with little flash to clean or excessive mold lines.

This thing looks great, and it will look even better once I add all the ostentatious bits and bobs to it that any proppa ork would demand.

I'll try to get some assembled shots together in the next few days along with some size comparisons, including one with a driver!

I assembled it with black tacky for a test run, but once glued it will make for a far better photograph. I'll try and take one soon.

Here's a hasty shot of it spilled out all over my hobby station:

Looks lovely as do the three I purchased recently however I have only admired the sprue's due to lack of time and my man cave in mid clean up

However I have to agree with the above statements it is truly a fine model with great possibilities for customisation and conversions, if you ain't bought one you totally should or even two

Hello guys,

I have recently discovered your site. Loads of very very nice stuff.

Just looking quickly, i would be interested in 30 or 40 things but... Wow. Prices seem really extra heavy to me.

Do you propose discounts for big orders ?

Dose anyone know how long it takes to get a package from zinge to canada? My order has been "processed" since the 2nd of July, and it's the 3rd of September now. I wish Zinge had better shipping options so i could atleast get a tracking number.

I've orderd a couple of times and it seemed...a reasonable amount of time?
I didn't pay attention too closely because they were for future projects (also known as all of my projects), but it definitely wasn't two months.

Whatever the wait is, it's worth it. I love my Zinge products.

Wow! one more upgrade options for Taurox light APC.

will there be a new rifle choices for human and orks?

Would the Taurox look better with the wide wheels or the regular 27mm?

Should not take over a month, e-mail them. something must have gone wrong, I usually get my stuff in 1-2weeks

I've emailed them and also tried contacting them on facebook. No response.

Usually Royal Mail say to allow upto 28 days Lockark.

You may not have had a response as I know Kit has been away on honeymoon and I expect thats stretched the rest of the team, assuming they get notifications in Kit's absense.

I'll drop them a message, see if they pick up on this for you.

Hi Guys,

Back from Honeymoon - Grand Canyon Foo Fighters and New York - BAM! Done!

Anyone having issues with parcels please message me directly and I will get them sorted.

Cheers

Kit

@ Col Gravis - Cheers fella!
@ Lockark - please get in touch if we haven't already
@ Frozen Ocean - I prefer wide but was out voted when we listed the set.
@Shaz - yeah 1-2 weeks is normal world wide - you should chase at 3 weeks for sure.
@Lone Cat - Thanks - stuff in the works but nothing iminent
@Valhallan42nd - Cheers
@ plastictrees - Cheers Dude
@ Marell le Fou - unfortunately not yet but we offer free world wide shipping at £60

Congratulations always wanted to see the Foo FIghters live o yes congratulations on getting we'd as well

Welcome back, and thanks for answering! I'm not getting the set, but I do want your wheels for a few projects, Taurox being part of them. I thought the wide wheels would look better, but I was asking because I didn't want to buy them and them end up being too big to look good, so they'd be fairly useless to me. Good to know! I'll be buying soon. I'll post pictures, when I finish my modelling goals sometime in late 2057.

Well, my Zinge drop arrived in the mail 9/10/2015, so whatever happened to the other posters' order is odd!

[/img]

Just wanted to say - big respect to Zinge. I purchased 3 sets of 27mm military wheels at Salute, but when I got home I found that they were actually 23mm... So, contacted Zinge via Facebook on Sunday evening and they got back to me that night and said they'd post me the 27mm wheels, plus said I could keep the 23mm True to their word, 3x sets of 27mm military wheels turned up in the post this morning. Awesome customer service from an awesome company...

Now to start my Taurox 6x6 conversion...

Apologies for the necro (unless there's a new thread for discussion of news relating to this company, in which case.. apologies!), but this company is still kicking out neat kits:



Another upgrade kit for the Taurox, this time a proper halftrack, a nice alternative for people who don't like to go full track or fully wheeled:
