Originally I planned on this to be an atv sized drone gun/recon platform in squads of 3's

Once I got print I thought it fit nicely for 15mm scale as a manned recon vehicle and that a done would be almost to small once scaled down to 15mm original size see image below
Do not mind the paint job did something up quick as bare metal did not photo well.


Now I am thinking I do like it as a 32mm drone but still thinking of doing 100% large like below making it a nice vehicle -- is this something you would buy if price was around 25-35 as I think that is what it would have to cost and would be mostly resin -- I have 3 turret options
missile launcher, Gatling lases and recon sensors.



Now if I could get 1200 people to commit to purchase I would get this done in plastic as well as the Law walker fro other tread.

I would rather have it upscaled like above and would be willing to commit to 2-3 of them. If possible Id also like to have a ringmount with a .50 cal kind of weapon similar to the new uparmored humvees.

Plastic sounds nice but how many benefits are we talking about here? If its marginal then resin is a fine option

Adding doors to the tank might help with sales, but with no obvious game to use this in, 1200 sales sound optimistic.

Yes! For 25-32mm.

I still need the details for those walkers, I'm standing by with $$$. Now that I saw the recon jeeps, I want three of those, as well. 25-32mm, NOT the 15 MM.

I am not a 15mm player, so I have no opinion on your plan to scale them down.

I would consider getting them if they were priced around $20 but $25 - $35 looks a little steep for the product. Selling 1200 though? That is going to be really hard to do at any price.

the 32 mm one looks like a nice alternate count as sentinel for an IG army.

I vote for upscaling it to be more like a manned vehicle than a drone. Its proportions and style look more like something with a crew than a drone/robot.

I've been looking for a good sci-fi hummer jeep and would be interested in this in plastic, though it would compete with Tamiya's 1/48 hummer for my affections.

1200 internet sales would be hard, any hope of getting a distributor?

I'd consider for potential Ork buggy stand-ins, if the price were a bit lower.

if you look at side that is the door it folds downward allowing access to the inside -- or they enter the triangle hatch on side.

Distribution means I have to give them a 60% off retail and have a system in place for packaging an shipping.

Now come 2012 Gen con my goal is to have copies of a box game with 2 factions and a rule set and see what happens -- If all goes well who knows if I do just meh then I need to just stop and try to sell off the production rights and concepts to someone else to do something with.

I like the bigger one, Alot more.
