Thanks, I'm working on some resin molds of the cabs and rears so I can speed up the manufacturing process and make them cost effective to sell as finished models.

Once I have that sorted I can put on store.

Stoked to see that the modutrucks will be available in the store, so many cool designs, can't wait

Cheers,

Working on the moulds as we speak. So far planning on the armoured cab and the tanker and hauler rears for wave 1 release. The majority of the accessories will remain 3d printed and will be out at the same time.

In addition to the physical release of Modutruck I'm looking to release a terrain kickstarter that I've been working on in the background for a lot of last year.

This project differs from other 3d printed terrain kickstarters in that it is designed to allow assembly and disassembly. This allows potentially 1,000s of different setups using relatively few printed parts and is a lot easier for storage rather than having to find somewhere for complete buildings.

Project is due to launch on the 29th of Feb so I'm still open to comments, requests and ideas for more files.

Currently I have large numbers of walls, pillars, roofs, pipework, silos, walkways, gantries designed and tested with cranes, opening doors, weapons and more on the cards.

Check out the website for more info (www.watcorpdesigns.com) or follow on kickstarter (https://tinyurl.com/wepvw53)

If you're looking for ideas, I was thinking about guard towers. Either 1 man type or something large enough for a full squad.

Hi Kyoto,

Good idea - I can do some standalone mini "observation" type towers for 1-2 models.

I think the full squad size towers should be doable with the standard size designs. Will look to add some alternative "leg" type supports and alternative wall pieces possibly.

That hexagonal tower is a cool design...


I'll also add some scale shots with the Dark Uprising and Sector Mech terrain soon

Cheers

Quick update on Modu-fab,

Someone over on the Necromunda forum was asking about scale vs other terrain.

The wall sections are 72x72 (same as original Necromunda bulheads) They are slightly higher than the Zone Mortalis sections but close enough to look like a step. Height is the same as the GW Plasma coil terrain. At 2nd level there is a greater difference between Modu-fab and Zone Mortalis/Sector Mechanicus. Interestingly this is the exact same distance as a single set of Zone Mortalis stairs. I'll also add my own stairs and ramps to bridge this height difference in the KS files.

Also in picture are the first runs of the pipes that can be added to the buildings

Hi All,

Sorry to drag you away from the 9th Ed rumours but this is far more important.

The first of the Modutruck physical models is now on sale on my store (www.watcorpdesigns.com)

Got the post apocalyptic version on the way too.

What truck would you like to see in physical form next?

Flatbed!

Lets players put whatever they want on the back!

Like Orks

Sounds like a plan. I'll sort out the pickup truck back end the larger flat bed

Hi All,

In response to above request I have added the flatbed truck to the ebay store https://www.ebay.co.uk/str/watcorpdesigns and the https://www.Watcorpdesigns.com website store.

In addition I've been working on more Modufab bits and painting demo pieces (had a hard weekend distressing industrial terrain!)

See below for more setups and the new connecting steps for compatability with Sector Mechanicus and Zone Mortalis stuff.

Also I've done a crane top to allow variable height Cranes that can rotate and the hook mechanism slides back and forth too.

Single man Guard Tower is on the printer now and I'm working on another more "reinforced Enforcer Precinct" type set of walls and bits too.

Cheers!

Quick update on Modu-Fab- 27 days till launch!

Here's a print as 1 guard tower added as requested. Just finishing off the 1st additional terrain style - Enforcer Precinct. Pictures to follow when I've had time to do sexy renders

More at www.Watcorpdesigns.com

Well darn I'm gonna need that.

And a 3d printer.

Got my walls last week, thanks!

Glad they all made it to you ok - Going to be quite the fortification when its done!

Been doing some work on some armoured precinct walls for one of the stretch goals (fingers crossed KS gets this far). Used 2 pots of Lead Belcher painting up examples pieces yesterday, will post pics soon.

So, I guess at this point you're basically making stuff just for me?

I shared the good news to the Arbites FB group.

https://www.facebook.com/groups/1924169174551862/

Cheers for spreading the good word :-). I'll put up some renders of example assemblies and some real life action shots over the next few days

Quick preview of some of the walls and floors for the Armoured Precinct file set. Currently this is a stretch goal for the incoming Modu-Fab kick starter. The plan is to start with the industrial file set, then add more "themed" expansions like this as the project (hopefully) progresses. Got this Precinct done, a corridor set for more "Space hulky" type environs, as well as a"Meat Processing plant" and Fortress in the works but I'm open to other ideas if project does well.

Hi All,
Only 15 days to the launch of the Modu-Fab 3d printable terrain Kickstarter. All the files for the Industrial Terrain set are completed and I'm working on the stretch goals.
I'm looking for some feedback to deliver these in the order they are requested by the community - now's your chance to influence the direction of the kickstarter

As it stands they are:
1 – Additional pipe runs and connections including smoke stacks
2 – Guard Towers and Walls
3 – Armored Precinct
4 – Corridor Upgrades
5 – Meat Processing Plant
6 –AA guns, Cannons and Big Search Lights for Precinct
7 – Power Plant
8 – Fortress featuring Orbital Cannons, Gates and Missile Silos

I'm looking for feed back on the order of the themed stretch goals 5,7 and 8. Let me know which ones you want 1st!

Any other requests or additional themes please let me know!

Y'know #8 seems the most exciting to me, so it becomes a question of do you lead with that, or dangle it for later to generate supporters.

I've never run a KS so I'm really not the one to say.

Yeah its a tricky balance - got to give the people what they want but need something to drag the masses in!

An Assault on Precinct 47 board I made using the Precinct 47 files and the guard towers and security fences.

13 days to launch - working on the Ground level pipe, connections and industrial chimneys and smoke stacks for the industrial terrain, as well as more variety of connecting pillars

Cheers

Looking really good

Cheers - been good practice for speed painting terrain!

The more I see, the more I have a soft spot for your gear.

Great Job!!!!

Are those truck parts still available?

Do you have bundles for the terrain?

Hi Grot,

I have a number of the trucks for sale ready printed on my website (www.watcorpdesigns.com)

The terrain is from the Modufab Kickstarter that is launching on February the 29th. Its only for the digital files rather than the physical product at this point.

Cheers :-)

Thanks for the Facebook share too.

I had to resist the urge to buy more Genestealer Cult in GW today. Not buying new plastic crack for 40 days! Had to buy paints I didn't need instead.
