I thought those three were pure twaddle?

Pure Riveting Twaddle!

In other news - new moulds are a success - stock followed by listing tomorrow - woop!

Twaddle you got that much from it did better than us then

Got to sit down at 3.30 easy life for some then

So does that mean new stuff added to the store then any news on the tank bike

These flexible rivet strips are one of the best ideas I have seen in while: so any uses for them and an actual original idea to boot...

I'd say it's a genius idea! Simple, yet unique and incredibly usable. I'm jealous of the level of your creativity, Sir!

Twaddle
The rivet strip IS definately a great idea.
..So is sending me ONE to torture me with

so....are we entertainers or what?

@ Vik -

@ Dave - well what did you reckon to it?

@ CT Gamer & Ishkatar - Thank you very much - I am proud and driving the missus mad with my smugness

In other news:

They are up on the site http://zinge.co.uk/index.php?route=product/category&path=18_95

Also - its been long overdo but I have updated the Small Ammo Belt sprue - which is now my best ever in that size. 6 Belts that all cast well instead of 4, 10mm longer, better detail and still the same price per strip (6 for £6 or £1.20 each)

that fifth pic is a pice of art!^^

Your stuff looked perfect for my AdMech project, ordered a nice set full of gears and cables. Looks like you were out of the multiple cables bundled together sets though, that was the only bummer. Looking forward to seeing what I can do with it.

One is not enough to make that judgement
I guess I'll have to order some more damn you!
I want some of your chains for a crazy steampunk motorcycle idea I got..

How about a staggered rivet pattern?

Is there any chance of doing a strip of teeth like you get on chain swords, I think it would be a great thing for scratch building and converting models.

@Dave - not sure what you mean by staggered pattern any chance of pictures?

@Mr Dog - Genius Idea - I will give that a whirl. If it works you can claim a free set.

I feel a "conversion" pack in the making

Cheers

Kit

That WAS a good idea LDD!
Sure Kit, something like this maybe.

Ooooh, a strip of chainsword teeth. I could really use that!

Agreed, great idea.

Thanks Dave - might sort out a second sample set. need some more recommendations.

Ok so lets put together a "conversion" pack of strips.

I think that most things will come in 2 sizes small and large. Looking to make a 10 strip pack so:

5 ideas 2 of each in a set - large set & small set - or
5 ideas 1 of each in both sizes - or
10 ideas 1 of each - large & small set

Ideas:
Chain saw teeth
Normal Chain
Rope
Pipe with clamp plates
Ribbed pipe

The last 3 are a bit weak and kind of rehash some of my other work. Those that suggest ideas that I go with will get a sample set (You will receive a pm to acknowledge the fact)

So thinking caps on guys & Girls (ever hopeful)

Cheers

Kit

i just love the chainsword idea!!! eviscerator and plain chainsword style and maybe something that fits a bigger demand as titans or dreads and knights?

I did have another idea you know the teeth you get on the end of cogs how about something a long the lines of that, it would help with the dilemma I am having which is on a gun mount.

This way we can build cogs of any size or shape or part round ones ect, then just add the chuck strip to the edge hey presto …….

Also any chance of building a chaos version of your human power fist, I so want some for my chaos guard

I would also like to see some strips with varying size bolts to what you have all ready, also can we have a human size chain blade and a ork size one as well

Maybe you could build large ones for dreads and even Titans …… maybe over kill there

Thinking cap on ………

You posted this as I was typing

hehehe^^

tho your choas powerfist idea is also quite a good one... could blend in well with my steampunk theme as well if done the right way...^^

Why not just ask for an SP power fist

hmmm... well...you have a point there^^

Have you thought about any orcy stuff? I'm thinking a ribbon of crenelations which could also be used for admech) or a ribbon of triangles, or better yet... squiggly triangles. Things that could be used as 3-d decorative trim or orc vehicles.

@ Mr Git - Already in the works- Great minds aye?

Outstanding! I can feel my wallet lightening as we speak...

strip of chainsword teeth

I totally agree with this idea! Way to go for bringing that up LDD!

Love the rivet strips, I could have used these about a month ago!

The possibilities for architectural greeblies of all sorts with your flexible resin formula are really endless. Small Gothic arches, stone relief work, Window Cornice, etc. etc. etc.

By ribbed pipe, do you mean like a hoover hose? If so that would be great, as I have searched high and low for those but all I can find is the green stuff mould thing. I have no other suggestions for the strips but how about magnetised ball bearings in shoulder joints- full pose-ability.

True..I have been using hoses from old plastic toys- but those are cast in that soft plastic crap that doesn't like glue or paint.

A week or two ago it was more like 0.5!

First I have to say that I've picked up a number of items from Zinge and am constantly amazed at the detail and quality of the castings.

I'll second the request for Orky items. Also, how about belts? I was thinking of a strip of about 5 to 10 cm with a buckle in the middle that could be trimmed down to attach bedrolls and whatnot. Also, straps with ratchet tie-downs would be very useful.
