Hey, got some new models finished, if anyone is interested in looking. Both made by Leo Blackband, the talented chap he is.

The Pickup Truck


The Iron Grumbler

Nice looking truck.

The grumbler is still calling to me!

Very nice orky truck, what game are they made for?

Like the truck, nice job.

Nuclear Renaissance, which is a post apoc game. You can download it for free on the web site. Its a gang based skirmish game with vehicles. It works really well as a multi player game.

Wow, you just made a lot of Ork players very happy with that truck.
I've been wanting to make gun trukks but didn't want to buy three of GW's.

They look awesome. Where can you get the Iron Grumbler?

They have their own web store. Loads of good stuff on it cheap as well.

Their bits (tridlins) prices are especially impressive, loads cheaper then buying trukk bits from any of the bits sites.

Sigh, looks like more stuff for my queue of unpainted gak. I must own some of those trukks.

Curtis, welcome back to Dakka.

I have been keeping watch on your site and posting your new stuff here when I see it.

Your bikes are frankly not impressive, your small vehicles arent that bad, I like your medium sized stuff, I love your big vehicles. Any chance of another big clunking steampunk walker? This is what you really shine at.

Any chance of a scale shot of the iron grumbler with a rhino?

Likely not from the product manufacturer.

Thats a rather unfair request, isn't it.

No, not really.

Aha! Well, its a fairly eccentric conversion of a rhino, and an old one a that.

As for shots with other models, as long as you all understand that I in no way claim any kind of ownership of the games workshop model shown or that I endorse the interchanging of one for the other then its ok. These are just scale shots. Everyone knows how big a rhino is, they are universal so good for scale comparisons.

It should be noted that I personally dont think the Iron Grumbler would make a very good rhino substitute anyway, as its too big plus its just too post apoc and beat up. This next to your nice neat marines? I think not!

Quite.

However next to plague marines, it'll look great. Also, the rhino in your pic is the old one, the newer one is about dead on for size.

Hows about some more scale pics of your other things, the truck for instance and most definitely the Boneyard truck, that's a very nice looking vehicle.

I love the designs and concepts of Ramshackle's products, but my experiences with the actual casts has been very poor. The material seems cheap, and fraught with air bubbles, flash chunks that obscure detail, non-flat surfaces, etc.

I've bought a number of kits from Ramshackle and I love the stuff Curtis puts together. I will definitely be getting a few of the Rumblers.

As for casting quality, I've had some very minor issues with the larger kits. They do require a small amount of prep work before assembly.

If it has been a while since you bought anything from Ramshacle, I would give them another go. Early on, he was using this very granular-type resin that was very brittle. My recent purchases have been a much more homogeneous resin and I haven't had any issues with brittle models.

A small number of air bubbles will still need a little work to get rid of.

Thanks for the scale shot. Personally I think it would make a good rhino substitute. Maybe like an Mk 1a pre heresy version. As for being larger than the GW rhino, perhaps best used for true scale marines?

Curtis, are you planning on doing any variants of the pickup truck? Maybe with bigger, sillier engines or exposed crew?

Yes, I think some new engines would be a great idea. I want to do a big lighting rig for the roof too.

I like the sound of that.

The shop is back up. It went down for a couple of weeks as the software was outdated. It was so old it could not speak modern paypal! So yes, new shop which works well on a browser or a phone

I saw you guys posting up some previews for some cyberpunk looking stuff.. I think on Facebook.. is that going to be a Ramshackle release or for another company.. also.. above someone mentions you might have finally switched your resin.. is this true? I have held off ordering anything else because of how unworkable the formula I had was.. I got tired of stuff snapping and chipping... but if you've moved to a better/more durable formula I might have to swing back by the shop..
