Something is brewing with our friends at Zinge Industries...

Teasing lot...

too much teasin' meow



Siamese of the 1933 (and troops wear adrian not sun helmet). yet for any IG army designed after any 1930s era army. which torso piece do you recommend? if someone included any form of Flak armor. ... and if Cadian looks 'too modern'

Keep your eyes open for more Viktor

Lone Cat, the Dress or Renegade torso's are my closest matches, for an exact match you might need to look at historical ranges at the moment potentially - I'm not aware of anything comparable.

The Urban Rubble Defence Line is now available from the Curious Constructs webstore.

yes as close as it looks but chain is not appealing to me.. also the WW2- torso piece that matches 40k IG/AM is not what i known of....

Okay, hmm might be a toughie for now then!

Next up, I'm after some feedback on a work in progress design for the Plasmalock Rifle, Jake Schneider has been hard at work and drawn up a couple of designs, which I've augmented with a couple of tweaks with my awesome(ly bad) paint skills. I'm after feedback as to your favourite design/s and any changes you'd like to see - if any.

I don´t now how the firing mechanism of a garand would work on a plasma rifle for one... but I can understand the aesthetics at least...my favourite is definitely the first one...and with some distance then the fourth...
what I would like to see is some more detail on the pistol grip... that is lacking some character...

if you go for the third design, then I suggest you should make the plasma spools a bit more narrow...and more of them too...

Plasmalock rifle with perforated steel plate is safer than generic GW plasmagun without that protection so I voted for #1 meow

I love number 3

That tube will be very cool to paint brightly.

Why the pistol grip? Im a fan of the traditional rifle look personally. Its how I did mine anyways.

But yea number 3

Now this I could totally use.

visually, I too like design 1 the best, but possibly those perforations make it look a bit too much like a melta weapon in the GW universe?

You may be designing it in the wrong order?

Have you tried taking a flintlock and then changing it too look like a plasmalock as opposed to a plasma to a flintlock?

It may smooth the design a bit.

Almost time for us to lift the lid on our the next Kickstarter campaign with our friends at Zinge Industries.

In the meantime though, thanks for your feedback on the guns, overal number 1 has definately had the most love, so its that we're moving forward for now.

Regarding the Flintlock WeaponPrime, this is based from the Laserlock rifle already in production so I'm very keen to keep the design cues from that rather then returning to the drawing board, I do understand what your saying though, and likewise the comments on the Pistol Grip, this is going to stay as the weapons are compatible with different arm options which similarly use pistol grips. I may look towards doing a weapons line without them in the future though potentially - not yet though.

Late to the party but I vote for #1 as well. With the coils painted in a 'plasma-stylee' it should still be obvious what they are, and the perforated shielding is just a great look.

Guess I should start putting pennies aside for the upcoming KS......

any way to join a kickstarter without a credit card?

I like Plasmalock #1

A date for your diaries, our new Kickstarter kicks off on 6th July!

Oooooooh!

BIG artillery

Steampunk Walkers

Automated Stompy Queen Victoria

Whatever it is, looks like my July birthday treat to myself has just presented itself.

Another day, another tease...!

Steampunk Guns Of The Navarone!

Time to lift the lid!

Zinge Industries and Curious Constructs are Kickstarting a gun platform and a range of 4 heavy support weapons.

If the project goes well we have a great set of stretch goals lined up and maybe even a few freebies.

The guns are compatible with the original Curious Constructs Kickstarter carriage and vice versa for the guns on the platform.

*These are “works in progress” and subject to change

Ho-hum, I wonder.. Will these be in our hands before Halloween?

Looking good.

Curious Constructs last KS went well. Count me in.

DK Siege list in the offing?

It looks like one of FW products. control panels look very Diesel Punk.. like Fallout universe or even the 40k itself.
the large calibre MG seems to serve the role of Heavybolter. isn't it?

And does the MG bit compatible with wheeled CC gun carriage too? meow~

I backed your last kickstarter and loved it. hopefully i will be able to back again this time as i like the look of these and good luck with the campaign.

Ditto

Not that I need something like this, but if the price is right I'd be down for at least one myself, looks like a really characterful artillery piece, and therefore, cool as feth!

Count me in

BOOOOM!

I'm in for 6. My birthday treat to myself will hopefully be with me in time for Christmas.

I may even Orkify one Battery.

Chocks away chaps!

We need your help now to get these new kits including a Gun Platform, Heavy Caliber Machine Gun, Rocket Launcher, Mortar and Cannon into production, with more to come!

Check out the campaign page, which is,

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/649754189/steampunk-infantry-support-weapons-28mm-miniatures

Oh and don't forget these new weapons, and the platform, compatible as well with the existing Field Artillery kits just for good measure!

Less then 24 hours later - and we're fully funded (again!)!

Thank you to everyone who's backed us so far!

Any plans for making crew figures?
