Looking good, and hoping to get to the gigacrawler

People, we are 32 backers away from the "Giga crawler" whatever that is! Don't let it slip away!

Down to needing 1 more backer to go Giga, and 25 hours to go. Looks promising

Woop - Gigga Hauler unlocked!

I've got some cool ideas for this one - Unfortunately I'm aweful at drawing so I'll have to make it and share renders!

Gigacrawler progress shots. Looking suitably over the top

I like that it's "functional" - as in, clearly designed for a purpose and not just random - albeit in a completely ridiculous way.

Exactly what I was going for

...I think I'm going to print it all at 15mm and play it all to hell ^^

Two plus foam board or plasticard = Capitol Imperialis?

Looking forward to my questionnaire do I can finally decide on which containers/ cabs I'm after.

EVIN ALL,

Physical backers should have received questionnaires - I'm currently running all the trailers and hauler basic parts before packing into kits with the optional bits

Wasteland Crawler files are all completed - just working on the Giga Hauler.

Giga Hauler has track or big wheel options - I'll be working on some safety rails and modifying the rear crane system tonight.

I've also been playing with trailer options - see images below.

need a few more bits and bobs like loading ramps, safety rails and obviously a tow hitch!

Wow, very cool. Once I get my GW Cargo Hauler, I'll look into these STLs for trailers. Very promising!!

Hopefully I'll get my Ashwastes Conveyor on saturday so I can look at doing some mods to allow these to work with the official kit, as well as some more bits for the GW kit conveyor

All backers who backed for Digital files can now access the STLs through the My Minifactory Pledge Manager

Even better - anyone who missed the Kickstarter can now use the Pledge Manager to get late backer access to the files, as well as previous projects at an addon discount.

Head over to MMF to access here https://www.myminifactory.com/campaigns/wasteland-crawler-806

Gigacrawler is done, and oh my it is a battlefield all in its own

Really got finish painting the test print - She's a beast !

I'm gonna start printing as soon as this heat wave is over

Have to say I am flabbergasted as to why all the resin files are split in half along various planes

The models are coming off the print bed looking great, but I do have a couple of queries. There are a couple of separate smoke stack/exhaust pipe things that come with the main crawler but I can’t work out where they are supposed to go.

Also, the pins for the wheels. I can’t seem to thread them through the suspension units from the rear. What am I missing?

Unfortunately some of the larger parts had to be split to fit onto the small size print area of a photon/mars size printer - ended up being a tricky compromise between best angle for printing and ease of assembly.

If there's any you have particular issue with let me know

The little smoke exhaust bits are the exhausts for the hauler - they fit just under the "deck plate" bit at the rear, just above the tracks (see image) The pins do go into the suspension but it can be a bit of a ballache to get them in. with that in mind I've done a rejig of the suspension design to allow them to print a bit better and to get the pins in more easily.

In both cases I'd recommend putting the pins in before gluing the suspension to the base of the truck!

Cool, thanks. Too late for my first trailer, but will do this for the rest.




Automatically Appended Next Post:
Speaking of the first trailer first one printed and primed. I might even get the airbrush out tonight!

Nice job! Glad it came out well for you

Is that some kind of crazy motor bike in the front?

It’s a jetbike from Bob Naismith Overrunners faction that I have merged with my Van Saar gang. I have another one, and some misprinted ones I painted up as wrecked

The giga crawler at 1/4 scale would be cool AT terrain.

Not considered that. I'll have to take a look at how it scales once I'm done with assembly guides and shipping the physical kits

Put mine together already, bar one wheel which James is posting me tomorrow! Lovely bit of kit. It's absolutely spot on as a Land Train for my Dvergi army in F28: War Always Changes.

Looking good 👍

Quick Update:

I've added a section to the website to cover assembly guides - still a work in progress but the basics are on there currently

I have yet to start printing any of these. So, updates are always welcomed, thanks.

Pah. Received my printed produts and had a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon putting them together without instructions.

Yes I managed to get the tracks on the roof and put the cab on back to front but hey...that's life.

In reality, I had no issues but since reading the guide I discovered I haven't quite got the habitat cab door on properly. It's glued in place rather than being on the slider but that's small beer.

Top fun product by the way. Looking forward to getting all the trailers together along with the armoured carriage next weekend.

I've sent a DM on a different matter.

CLANG! is that the sound of boarding clamps or someone jumping on the bandwagon? - I'll let you decide!

I'm pleased to announce the latest terrain project by Watcorp Designs - HARBINGER OF DAMNATION

This project takes the proven Hook N' Play system from the previous Modufab terrain kickstarters and applies it to a spaceship interior.

Project is structured around a story of investigating deeper into the mysterious depths of the ship then escaping as stretch goals are unlocked

Features loads of cool moving doors which really add to the gameplay.

see end of post for current structure

I'm planning on launching the start of October so I'm open to feedback and requests now!
