Nice products, made a test order.
- Set of 5 Wire Wrapped Power Cables 375mm
- Set of 5 Flexible Resin Power Cables
- Large Bulkhead Door
Bugs:
"State/County required"
Not many countries have states/counties.
- I used "n/a" to get past this requirement.
Postage cost:
The info claims: "International Delivery (order value: £0.00 to £14.99) Cost: £2.00"
- I was only charged £1.50.

Magnus, Sweden

Can i sugest stuff like coms/optics equipment for tanks/apc's stuff like that
as there are a lot of 3rd party sites offering infantry based stuff but i think parts catering to tanks/mechs/flyers would do well
it mite even be worth setting up a poll on here to see what demand is for stuff ?
one thing that i think would do well is some kind of resin generic bot/ small mech thats multi part and is basic so people can scuplt kit bash there own parts to it ?
oh and plasticard sheet and tubes and stuff like rivets and brass etch and greenstuff would be good i know theres sites that sell this but its allways nice to be able to get stuff in one go

Few questions.
Can the semi clear ammo belts be painted? They look kinda non stick so how well do they take paint?
Is it possible to order and of your kits in larger lengths?
Like if I wanted to make some ammo belts for a stompa or something, could I get 20cm worth of ammo belts or are you stuck with 5cm max?
How does the custom decal thing work and how much does it cost? Do I create an image and then you just print it on paper or do you create an image similar to something I describe or send a picture of?
Do you have any plans to add 28mm ammo backpacks to go with your ammo belts?
Id really like to add an ammo belt and backpack to this minigun from maxmini

I think there'll be quite a few people looking for heavy bolter and bolter-sized ammo belts...*hint* *hint*
When (not if) this site gets up and gets more stuff in then I'll definitely buy some stuff...but until then, bookmarked!

Hi,
@ Madcowcrazy
All bits can be painted (see my meganob in the below link)
http://www.the-waaagh.com/forums/?showtopic=41457&st=20
Pretty much stuck with 5cm unless enough people demand larger sizes (making is no problem covering costs is another)
The vinyl decals are cut from 0.3mm vinyl not printed giving a relief image similar to GWs sheild designs - pics coming soon.
Price would depend on the quality of the item sent - i.e. decal from photo is expensive, decal from vector ar would be a lot cheaper prices to follow.
Back pack greens are done (its based on the minigun from predator film)
Cheers
Kit

My interest is piqued. The pictures are way, way too small for me to commit any money yet, though.
My advice:
1.) Take some much, much higher resolution pictures, even if you need to borrow someone's camera to do so. 1600x1200 should be the target.
2.) The backgrounds are too busy. Don't take pictures atop a paint spattered cutting mat. Use some white paper, instead.
3.) Some painted up examples on finished models for scale would really help.

The wrapped wire power cables are available free everywhere. just find your local music shop and ask for them to share the old wire guitar strings that they have. they just throw them out. tell em you use them for art. its what i did. i have about 30 ft of different sized cables now. save your cash when it comes to power couplings etc. just make em yourself.

@ouze - better pictures certainly - on models is tricky IP problems? Don't know - wouldn't want to find out the wrong way either.
Ideas greatly appreciated on this bit
@sennacherib - I used to use guitar wire but then I made these and they are so much better - Guitar wire is spingy and tough to cut, these go where you want them to within reason. They also have a thicker wrapping than equivalent thickness guitar strings meaning more visible detail that does'nt get filled in with even a thin few layers of paint.

Certainly, for the bits that are done in clear resin, you should at least spray them white or grey or something, as it's hard to tell what they actually look like, as is. I definitely could use some ammo belts for various projects and look forward to getting some from you, once I get a good feel for what they look like.

Have you used to be on Ebay? I'm sure I have seen these exact same sets and pictures on ebay.
"Wire inserts for posability."
Does this mean there is a hole in the ammo belts you insert brass wire or some soft metal wire into so you can lock them into a position?
The minigun backpack ammo thing from Predator is exactly what I have been hoping someone would make
Really looking forwards to this.

Hi,
Yes that was me on ebay - testing the water.
The flexible resin items are cast with a wire insert which helps the belt keep the shape you want.

Just ordered your power cables, and both small and large ammo belts.
I'll post a review when I get them. You're already getting an A in my book as the free shipping from a start-up company is great

Dug some pics of my fans - mold not quite up to scratch on these.
Current set = 1 large, 6 medium & 6 small - £3 for the set. Automatically Appended Next Post: Yes better pics would be good and will be sorted at some point!

This.
And when announcing your company include pictures, people are lazy and many who read this thread won't even click your link.
That being said, good luck! More choices is good news for all of us!

NIce one! I think you can use it, I've seen other sites use GW figs but with a disclaimer something like - model not included and shown only for scale
But UK law might be different from US so it's always best to get a professional opinion.
YOu could also put up models from a less-aggressive or defunct company.
