Once again order is growing Zinge can I just send you my cash card and pin that way it will save time Have to say liking the look of these new releases can we have a comparison picture for scale if you don't mind awfully
I want to see how big that claw is and if I need to hang of finishing something I am working on at the moment
Could always use more Klaws.
You are having a blast with that printer aren't you?
Alright, here is a REAL challenge.
Come up with a set of replacement Ork heads.
I'm not talking about Russian or German or some other WW1 or WW2 themed heads, I'm talking about ORK themed heads.
Such as...
Ork head screaming WAAAGH!
Ork head with the speed freek grin and flapping jowls.
Ork head with severe scaring/stitches.
Ork head with nice welders goggles.
The GW heads have a bit of character, but there is so much to be desired in the MOST expressive race in the game.
I know you are leaning mostly towards mechanical bits, and I understand they are easier to render, but man, do Orks need new expressive head options.
i gotta say... matphat... you sure have a point there...and your ideas sound very good... and it is also true that there would be definatly be a demand for better human heads as well...GW does some weird stalone faces i could do without... i know everybody dies humans these days...but well... it´s all in the mix...
Those AKs look much better than the undersized ones from before. I was just talking about them this evening whilst picking out some guns for a Necromunda gang.
When can I start giving you money for the new pistols and AK mags?
does an ork poop in the woods...i am not that fluent in the fluff of them... as they have next to nothing in the below belt region i always thought they might be immune to constipation...^^ maybe they just burst^^

Haven't you heard of the drops?
OP: I have added this to my recommended UK retailer bookmark list. Some brilliant stuff.
Ok, Ok, I'll admit that almost every shop under the sun has tonnes of Ork bits, but really, the reason is, everyone looooovvvees customizing their Orks.
With that said, you have to admit, all the replacement heads are "gimmick" heads.
I just want, at the very least, some sculptor to release a few "WAAAGH!" screaming variations.
The one that puppets war did for his Ork plane is a great example of what I'm looking for, but sadly, he's not selling them as single bits.
lol... shouldn´t be too hard... the AV7 tank is a very basic shape...so i don´t expect any hardships in the making... also there are templates out there...even in 15mm scale which would make this thingy quite in scale then to a bike in 28mm scale...
Dont know if it would sell.. but do it anyway dammit!
Make options so it can be used as a warbike or as a grot tank, or even two of them pulling a "chariot" to make a truck..
3D print the parts you have to, but the body just needs to be thrown together with plasticard, use soldering iron to make realistic "wealed" joints between the plates etc etc.
But dont do any of this untill you've helped me out with my mech projects ;p

AH
Firstly it does not just want to be thrown together
You can wait for your mech project lol….. I want these and in bulk
Hum...well, have fun building it, but I'm not sure it would sell a lot.
The Ork bikes from GW are some of their best Ork models, and kustomizing them is a breeze, so it might not be the BEST niche to try and serve.
Either way, it will be a blast to see what it looks like.
Better yet, build it as a buggie, not a bike, and I'd buy 3 off the bat.
Ok how about you make this in kit form with the side's separate then build a larger top front and back sections and a smaller set, this way you can have it as a buggy or a bike that way every ones happy……. as I really want these as bikes.
yeah he becomes a major tease now...looks a bit like a piston system to me... and the last one could be either exhausts or vents from a very beefy engine??
Will you be selling this in parts as well as you may have just saved me a massive task (Thank you ) I want a whole engine but I could do with the blower section and exhausts for a conversion I am working on now …….
I hope so as I really could do with this and would be perfect for it.
Automatically Appended Next Post: But what was the pistons for
Subscribing love the stuff you are working on. My only comment would be any chance of orienting those exhaust to the top giving it an even more dragster style?
Humm.
Zinge, are you just goofing around, or are you going to release some of this stuff?
I'm starting to loose interest with all the teaser shots of things I can't have...
As if all of your other updates have not already got me drooling to make another order...when that engine is available, I shall be able to resist the urge to click "Purchase Order" no longer!
DAMN YOU ZINGE! For making amazing things! *shakes fist*
Wow Kit, great new stuff! these last resin goodies to spew forth from you are excellent! I will be needing a few pistons and maybe an engine to use for terrain as well as some ammo belts to fill some ammo boxes with for object markers, i'll keep my eyes peeled for when they're available.
as i've just delved into terrain now, i've bought some GW imperial sector box sets, but am hoping to put the seed in your mind of a couple of things i've noticed crop up amongst a lot of terrain building threads out there, perhaps you could produce a compatible modular floor panel that can be utilized to add extra levels (they NEVER have enough floors), something that can be made in straight sections and added to make right angles? doesn't even need to be fancy, I for one would buy a fair amount myself! the other thing isn't probably that interesting is metal girders or beams to use under the flooring sections and in rubble piles, could/would also be great for orkish forts and the like, even stompa's? again i'd have to buy quite a few, along with numerous hatches and doors from you!
Thanks for doing such nice work! hope to hear what you think soon!
I'd be interested in whether you'd make a selection of 'antenna' type items, bud! I'm building a Tau army and you can never have enough antennas and aerial thingies. Stuff like that would be really awesome for conversion work.
Thanks Kit, i checked those evergreen beams and they're spot on! i'll use those, but let me know if you would consider doing some of those floor pieces :-)
I have considered the COD stuff before and think I may have a cunning plan. A plan as cunning as a fox who's just been appointed Professor of Cunning at Oxford University. Watch this space in a month or 2
WOW, All I can say is great stuff, definitely feel a purchase coming on strong here...
Question - made a quick smash through the thread and noticed some KILLER vinyl decals, but none are up for sale right now. Is that just something you make runs of when you can or? I'd LOVE to order some, ermm, "Techno Vampire," decals, cough, if that could be possible in the future. Like the ones that fit on the transport vehicle, and ones that can fit on shoulder pads if that could be a possible reality. Wow, they are so great!
Yep floor pieces for CoD terrain, I shall of course still be watching in a month or 2, I plan on utalising a few differing ideas for it and your hatches already will feature as well as some ideas and bits from other sources I hope! :-)

Do you have to talk in riddles while we are adding to the pile any news on what is falling out of these head as in idea's …… still waiting on the tank bike
Oddly enough I was thinking about floor sections last night and thinking that it would be easy to talk to Warbases (for example) and get something cut. For floor sections for Cities of Death or anything else laser cut MDF might be the way to go. The same method and material used to create layers could probably produce something compatible with CoD but more generically useful.
So the floor sections could be on a standard grid and either composed of separate panels that can be laid over, for lack of a better name, joists, or in larger pieces. The difficulty is I suppose that it is difficult to do damaged sections as MDF would snap rather than bend unlike metal (what you are trying to emulate) or plastic.
Automatically Appended Next Post: Any idea when the resin hatches are going up on the shop site?
My order turned up today, awesome stuff detail is fantastic, potential for the parts are endless really happy GREAT JOB !!!! Kit
Just a shot of some of my stash with a normal Ork boy and a guard of description
Cant tell you how great the hatches are they are so cool
But my most favourites have to be the power fists Ork and human, the detail is tops and the Ork claws are just stunning
The new pistols are great detail but large, they look good once you cut to fit ( after all they are for Orks ) but I would like some smaller versions for the lesser Orks
Over all great stuff the mags are nice way to alter your AK'S and M4'S, the double round mag is cool looking and gives a nice touch to all races.
The engine is a beast and have to say it fits together so well, you can just clip it together and it strays in place the pistons are cool looking and great for conversions and such
OK, How the heck did you get that engine?!?! I have been waiting patiently for it to show up on the store!
Or is it just an "in country" thing at the moment? Grrrr. If they are special order, I want to specially order one!
I have this little Toy truck on my desk that looks like an old Modle "T" Ford just waiting to have this engine added to it! It will of course be way too big for the toy, but that is part of the fun!
Sorry to misunderstand LDD, so YOU were the demading one? so, that's how you got the engine! I see! (I see there is no emoticon of an Ork shooting himself in the head.)

Pushy but polite or as we call it over here harassment
Hi Zinge, do I recall you saying you saying you were getting ready for salute a few pages back? If so are you selling bits, and are you on someone else's stand. If you are what is the last date for putting in orders for pick up?
I would agree almost with that ….. I have to say I was not oversold on the UZI but this one looks cool sort of compacted Weekend will look forward to that.
Hopefully I'm getting the larger uzis pictured before, the compact one looks a mm or two too short, I feel. Perhaps if the height was reduced a smidge?
Either way I'm excited about the parts I ordered. The wheels will mean I can put together the greens for my new kit. Exciting stuff.
It will mean I have to butcher one of my Spores of Anarchy though as his crappy slugga is being replaced by one of your awesome Ork-scale Glocks. It shall be sweet, uh, I hope. Assuming I don't bungle it!
You know, just for the helluva it, I'll throw in that I would love to see a sprue of optics - a couple of scope designs, maybe some Holos, that kind of thing.
In an ideal world, there'd be a standard low silhouette sniping scope, an IRNV type, a traditional hunting scope, an ACOG and then 2-3 Holo/Reflex type sights.
Dood, can we just set up some sort of purchase order thing? As soon as I get my order from you, you create all new stuff that I want. This way, whenever you release a new product, you just automatically send me some It's time for the Zinge truck to make it's monthly delivery.
I have to say those fists are the bomb they look and work so well I will be placing another order soon …….
Zinge shall I just get my wages payed directly to your bank account
I have a small dilemma with the engine mind it looks so cool I want the whole engine exposed, however this changes the overall look to what I wanted in the first place. What do I do
@ Deathklaat - Cheers and addons are a possibility if the engine sells well - oh yeah and vinyl cutter is down at the moment if I get it working I will put a page on the site.
Stuff looks great, and I'm sorry if I'm being rude by not reading the prior 35 pages, but I'm looking for power cables like those that come with the FW Warhound Titan, I see you have resin ones that look similar, can you do, or do you know where I can get the rubber ones that don't need to be molded into a position?
The arsenal of weapons is quiet impressive. Do you have any examples of the fire with LED painted and lit up?
Nice, that lighted Daemon is sweet! And that belt on the dread looks pretty awesome.
Here are the conduit and power cabling on a Titan, since you do lighting as well... My intention is to run wire in the cabling to a male end that will plug into the Titan female end so I can possibly light my weapons. The flexibility will allow for weapon posing while maintaining power.
zinge! I loved those fists...when I thought they were for the Tau. They're still great, but if you sculpted a slightly larger version with four fingers and a socket to mate with the FW crisis suit elbow joints I would buy at least six sprues. Up until now I've have to steal fingers off of GW power fists so if you decide there isn't a big enough market I guess I could buy your power fists and just keep converting...it would be nice to have purpose-built Tau hands though.
let's see...I can use the Hatches on a Land Raider, Powerfists on some Aspiring Champs (Must resist disco marine!), another load of Fans to finish my Blight Drones...Salute will be expensive this year!
I've been wanting a copy of the Dual Powerfist Marine (3 across, 4 down) for years now, and I actually get to make one myself
Going to need those hatches down the track when I get my Bioshock themed Deathguard army together. Thanks for letting us know about this!
Now if you could just set yourself to make some Brotherhood of Nod helmets from the Tiberian Sun game for Imperial Guard troops, I would shovel some money your way.
Did you ever get round to doing those ammo backpacks?
If I remember correctly there was some requests or plans to make a ammo backpack similar to the one the guy with the minigun in predator 1 had.
I'd really like to get some of those for my maxmini miniguns and the ammo belts I bought from you.
Also @ Dave and other members of the league of extrordinary riveters - What is the worst thing about riveting?
To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of their women.
Oh, sorry. that's not quite right.
yep...you got it all wrong...:

that!
and a piece of your bum...kit...i think you don´t want to share that with the whole bunch of us here... nope wouldn´t think so...
but do share your thoughts about riveting...do by all means...one might never now... if there is an act of unauthorized riveting we might see the need to ...
i think i have a slight idea how this might be going... and i have had that idea too... tho i have for the time being decided that i stay away from casting...
i think of riveted plates...armor plates... angular plates and such things... so to easily mount it on bare surfaces to create that heavy steelplated look
Viktor von Domm wrote:i think of riveted plates...armor plates... angular plates and such things... so to easily mount it on bare surfaces to create that heavy steelplated look
So you mean pre made plates to add to vehicles buildings ect
yep... xyou just add some terrain or tanks and presto spiced up stuff ... rather simple idea really...i wonder why no one has thought of that already...
i wonder...if we take kit into the league...should he then make special offers for the league ? well...i know... absolute power corrupts absolutly and all...but money is money when all is said and done...

Thats a good idea ….. total control over releases and content …… I feel we are becoming power mad here
Has anyone else heard of these rivet makers made by a Mexican company Greif? You soften a plastic tree with a lighter and press the plastic into the metal Greif plate. Impossible to find but really useful. I have a couple (I'll take photos if anyone is interested), been looking for a flat rivet maker, have to contend with this.
The punch and plasticard method is fine so long as you merely need undetailed flat rivets that aren't too small. But I'm definitely interested in whatever is up Zinge's sleeves (metaphorically speaking).
Viktor von Domm wrote:hey jabba...what size are these punches ? my smallest are 2mm...roughly 5/64 "
They're pretty tiny, you can't change or select size, they all come out around 1mm (craft punch from Walmart or Michaels).
Below are the rivet makers I was talking about, you can see how sickly small you can make them (how about 1/32"?). And I was wrong, I have the flat, round and square, I was looking for the hex... Hex bolts are preferred for Ork in my opinion.
Steelmage99 wrote:Howdo those Greif rivet makers work? Do you cast in them?
second that question...tho to not overly stress the drailing of zinges thread you could answer that question in my thread perhaps?
Great point, I didn't mean to Hijack the place!
Yes, you just heat up some plastic with a lighter, press it into it. It is some small and dries instantly, you then just chisel it off with a hobby blade.

I like the idea of this tool - it would mean you never run out but it looks a bit of a faff. Any idea where to get the tools from - my googlefu is weak this morning.
Also my idea - way better than this
For a bit of context as I fear I may be over hyping my idea.
For me the big advantage of the Greif tool (I'd love one) would be that the resulting rivets are polystyrene - I've had nothing but tears trying to glue on teeny weeny resin/metal bits.
Zinge, I hope your top secret idea gets around that problem in some way...
Viktor von Domm wrote:and would you say this is a difficult way to produce these rivets? it sounds a bit difficult to me...
I don't know, haven't needed to produce rivets recently. I do remember that the smaller you make them, the more difficult it is to get a clean cut. I wouldn't say it's much more difficult when you're already building something like a Thunderhawk. Obviously a punch will always trump something like this in terms of speed.

Great point, I never thought about that!
My favorite way of producing rivets has always been thin, evenly rolled sheet of cured green stuff + metal tipped mechanical pencils. You can go from 0.3 - 0.9 mm, just punch, and click the rivet out. Perfect circles, varying tiny sizes, and quick (as rivet making goes).
Mind you, if you want something other than a circle...

because of that i asked... i thought it might be doable but still tough to make it good looking...well back to the drawing board i guess^^

Well he will never be in the league then
He said he had no need to produce Rivets …… there is always a need to produce Rivets
Because printers are so cheap now, I've bought used printers at drive by yard sales for $3.00 and than smashed it to bits to get the gears and misc other potential bits. But those look superb, far less work to get!
Are you looking to make more track designs in the future? The reason I ask is I am using 1/48 scale models for proxy miniatures in some of my games, but you only get rubber treads with them. Any chance of you in the future making tracks that about 1.15cm wide (I think this is compatible with the Leman Russ) for sale? Modern looking ones would be excellent.
I have no other idea how to accomplish what I need, as the Leman Russ tracks have little protrusions on the side of the tread, and I need ones which are open like modern day tracks, with a guide in the centre.
Just wondering. And I will be definitely buying your doors, they are perfect.
More track designs - they are on a the list - the list is ridiculous in more ways than long but if inspiration strikes it gets made - If it works it goes on sale.
Zinge ol' buddy!
Yesterday, I used some of your stuff on my Brother Vinni's Fallout miniatures
Flexible Ammo Belts
Chinese Assault Rifle
And I must say, they look GREAT!
But look at the Super Mutant's forearm of the hand holding the nail board...
Do you think you can use the same wizardry as the ammo belts to make a flexible resin chain about that size?
The links are 1mm long, and .5mm wide
I would think that would be a big seller!
I was just about to say a shameless self plug there Dave, however total save with that idea and I would be on board for a few sets maybe a sprue of varying sizes would be cool
i think that chain idea is pure genius dave! and something someone should have done ages ago... i bet there will be a huge demand throughout the scene...!!!
Automatically Appended Next Post: that and maybe string? you know like in gallows and such things...?
Yeah, I've always used old cheap necklace chains, but they usually have the link shape all wrong for towing/lifting chains. Who makes this proper modelling chain?
Kit, what is wrong with your chain design? I need to order some hatch doors from you anyways. How big would the chain need to be to get proper mold penetration?
This a Public apology for not thinking before posting - This forum is not the place for such comments or my own brand of rather off kilter humor. I will endavour to be funnier and less controversial.
Very sorry for any offense caused - it was entirely unitentional.
those are some cool looking pistols.. and btw on the Zombie Jesus day... if someone dosent understand the joke.. its that JC rose from the dead (like a zombie get it ) they have parties for this everywhere
Thanks for the comments guys - much appreciated - more pics to come (not of the gate - Mrs Zinge told me off for that one )
For Salute 2012 on the 21st April I have just enabled collection from store on the website if you would like to pre order and pick up on the day. For reservations please just mail me a list via pm or through the webstore and it will be waiting for you on the stand (Very sorry cash only).
although on a slightly more serious note, aren't they a tad similar to the Maxmini Ones? I know it's bad form to compare products in news threads, and I'm not suggesting any copying of any kind (both drawn from the same source material, after all), but to my eye the maxmini ones just look more detailed (although having bought from you a couple of times before, I imagine yours will be cheaper)
Honestly hadn't seen the maxmini one - its rather nice. But for mine I went a chunky as I could - Any idea of the size of the maxmini one?
Plus this is designed to take my belts.
First dam those pistols are way better than they looked in the early pictures
Now the third pistol makes more sense and will work perfectly with my Pirate orks ( and maybe my grots ) mini hand cannon literally
I like the mini gun although I would field this one with my orks rather than the guard (sorry have a load of the maxmini ones for that ) but I still like it.
Kit at this rate I am going to have to start working overtime or at least not leave work early
and now to put some quantity to the quality...? what will you charge for the minigun? i see lots of potential for this...by the way...since it fits so neatly to your own belts...how a bout a package price for a combinded product?
I like it though 
as for the weapons and scale do all that way we are all covered 
)
but I could be wrong 
Grrrr. If they are special order, I want to specially order one! 
Now I need them by my Easter holiday too.
