These were the former terrain pieces that I'd had available for the last 3-4 years, I'm not going to post the pic directly as I don't want to imply they are available any longer and don't want a ton of messages about them. http://www.paulson-games.com/i/resin/picture_1099.jpg They were up on the site until about 4 months ago, however even after a several year run they barely made back their printing & molding cost and didn't make any profit, so it's not worthwhile to remake the molds yet again for them not to move. I looked at the long term numbers and they don't indicate that there's any serious interests in scatter terrain, even if all the Infinity players are supposedly clamoring for it I've yet to see any evidence of demand or a market so I won't be pursuing it further.

Will you be making a hardtop roof for the new Tau Gargantuan Cabriolet?

+1 and same for a hardtop roof for the Piranha!

Huh, I honestly don't remember the terrain being for sale. Sorry it worked out that way :/

Huh, it would be kinda neat to see the Riptide's upper head cavity area enclosed vs open like that. I've got to build my Salamander mechs from that KS and measure them to see if they're big enough for possible conversions with those guns. I like the look but don't own actual Riptides.

that mod actually makes the Riptide look good. Nice work.

Now available on pre-order, expected ship date is Dec 1st.

(36mm long, compatible with crisis suits)

The details have a very sleek, high tech look, but I'm not really a fan of having the dual beans up so close to the frank. It makes the gun look like a 90's Super Soaker.

I'd love to see a set of your various energy canisters, ammo drums, vents, antennae, and other small details. They would make for some great details on an upgraded leader mini.

I wish that you'd do a full model that these weapons would fit on. I'm not a big fan of the riptide model and could use a nice replacement of that size.

Doing a model that large is rather complex and costly, which is why I haven't done it yet. The Riptide is a really solid model and I can't find too much that I'd want to do differently with the design. I'm open to the idea of doing a big model but it needs to be the right design which I haven't figured out just yet.


(the two new guns I just listed on the site are crisis suit sized although they have a similar profile to the heavy tsunami class stuff)

I've kinda hoped you would do a more high tech take on Imperium vehicles. Particularly Imperial Guard stuff. I assume you were more referring to walkers but seeing your take on a main battle tank, apc, light support/suppression tank, missile system..etc. Sentinel alternatives would be cool too. They're not super big, they don't have a whole lot of weapons.. and it's kinda in line with the Mecha Front stuff. I've been slowly populating models for Appleseed and GitS type of game settings. There's others out there filling these niches but I've always considered your designs interesting and really wanted to see you tackle the types of things I mentioned.

I know you tend to stay closer to GW proxies and supplements but I would also like to see your take on some Mantic stuff.

Here's a to-scale print out vs the Tau Commander's CIB

The prints for my mech energy blasters came in today. They need a bit of final clean up before they get molded and I should have them shipping out starting next week.

Also I didn't realize until just now that the new suits are slightly smaller, as I just built my first one today. Loving the details though.



Tau crisis suits models by games workshop, shown only for scale purposes.

The Energy Blasters are now available for general purchase, I've added a discount deal for a set of 6.

http://www.paulson-games.com/mecha_parts___54mm.html

I did not realize those were supposed to be ...complimentary to a GW design. Your blasters beat theirs all to hell.


Hope to place an order early next week.

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone.

After you've had your fill of turkey make sure to take advantage of our Thanksgiving Day sale, when checking out enter the word: SALE in the discount code box and get 20% off your purchase.

The discount is good until Tuesday Dec 1st and it's good for use at both www.paulson-games.com and www.mechafront.com

Did you convert that Crisis Suit or did GW release some new ones after all? I stopped following that thread because it kept cycling through gw love hate and mod warnings.
If they did in fact release a new crisis suit, are all of the old products still compatible? I would imagine so but thought I would ask just to be safe.

There's new crisis suits, the parts are still compatible.

No Turkey Tau head?

Just placed two new items up for pre-order. The discount pricing is good through Dec 30th and I expect to begin shipping them out by Jan 29th (if not sooner)









Scale reference:

Another design I'm toying with

I personally prefer the symmetric designs like that last one. They can be used for many more conversions.

Looks good! If I expand modernizing my Tau (which are already not modern, lol, after a few months) beyond just a single small formation, I'll definitely be picking up some weapons.

New parts are in stock, I'm also now offering free shipping on orders of $60 or more.

http://www.paulson-games.com

You always have such crisp, perfect casts! Makes me wish I played Tau

Are those last guns symmetric top and bottom?

If you don't mind, I'd like to ask everyone's opinion on something I'm making with Paullson's bits. It could work as a 28mm support weapon or a smaller scale hover tank. The pictures are next to 1/144 scale tanks with extra Mecha Front pieces for scale.

So, beam cannon or Gatling gun?
