I was kinda mentioning it to avoid unnecessary competition. I love how there's so many different companies emerging these days that offer parts that happen to be the right scale for GW games. It's fantastic for fans of their skirmish games!

yep right on all acounts...tho i think even if they all did the same things/weapons i am hoping there is enough diversitiy and differences between tow similar bits...

The Sterling as replacement lasguns makes me giggle like a school girl SOOOO hard!

Why?

Because it becomes one of these with some simple modifications:

Precisely

cool, you have certainly done your converting homework^^

Ok so a minor up date on other bits:

Fans - Greens redone - Making mold tonite - Set is now 1 Large 30mm, 1 Medium 20mm, 2 Small 15mm and 3 Tiny 10mm. Hoping for a price of about £3-£4 a set of 7

Grills - Greens done - Mold tonite - Set is now 1 large round, 2 small round, 1 large rectangle, 2 small rectangle. Price £2-£3 for a set of 6

Pictures later

If you're talking about aircraft-intake type fans, I think sets of the same size would be more useful than mixed. If I'm making an airplane-style model, I'll want two (or more) of the same for symmetrical engines, and not have much use for the others.

I am coming to the conclusion that anything I do must be available separately or in small sets of identical items.

To this end all items will be available in sets (i.e 4 large fans for £X, 5 pistols for £Y) - These sets will workout slightly more expensive than buying the original set due to faffage.

Thats pretty true, but people are picky, most people that do bits do things like "8 shoulders, and 2 specials houlders" in a set, rather than a bunch of misc ones
however selling focused items will let you be more focused on what your customers want (since those items will sell more), which will help you make more/better selling products in the future.
I'll try and get that vector drawing to you this week! things are just super busy for me right now

good decision... but whats faffage? couldn´t look it up...

Faff - To mess about. Make something harder than it has to be, etc...

puppy is coming home on friday! ^^

I received the things I ordered today, seems good

Here is an Idea, I'd like to see Riot Shields, the square type that Adeptus Arbites tote around. I'm in need of a few of those for my Henchmen conversion projects.

or if someone already makes those please give me a link

Foundry do some and so did void?

Consider it stolen...
I find you'll sell more if you sell sets of 4/5 of one weapon.

thats a bit going far to say that here... one might say you ask for some lawsuits at your doorstep...

that's a bit going far to say what here?

well my padawan i was only stating that you might not hear the creaking of the thin ice...

what thin ice?

ccccrrrrrrAAAAAAACCCCKKKKK!!!!! splashh++++blubbbb................ silence

um anyone have an idea what hes talking about ?

I do. Never mind.
I second wheeled heavy weapons, but don't GW do those metal ones with wheels?

MaxMini do a gatling platform, if that's any good?

even i don´t know what i am talking about... must be low bloodsugar...

Please dont recast my stuff - or anybody else's stuff for that matter

He has the bloody knife as a logo for a reason..

sorry zinge I was only going to recast the barrel of the mauser to stick onto bolt pistols, but sine you're doing sets of the same weapon I won't have to.

zinge wrote:I am coming to the conclusion that anything I do must be available separately or in small sets of identical items.

I think that is true of most things, but it depends on the item and its use. Like I said, if I'm making a 2-engine aircraft, I want two of the same turbofan. If you were making a bunch of scenic pieces to detail bases, I wouldn't - I'd want a varied set.

For pistols, it could be both. If I was making a gang/warband, I might want a mix of odd stuff to put a unique piece on each one. If I'm making an army regiment, chances are I want them all to have the same sidearm.

To this end all items will be available in sets (i.e 4 large fans for £X, 5 pistols for £Y) - These sets will workout slightly more expensive than buying the original set due to faffage.

Well, say I need two of your 30mm fans. Even if I pay £2 each, it's still cheaper than ordering two £5 packs, if I'm never going to use the other parts.
