Sexy indeed!

The paint job is awesome!

Not certain ATM. Boss wants the worm out ASAP, but that still means at least two weeks.


Also, I dun a render.



guess I should look at some tutorials next.

Hello Bubblegum crisis!

You can't quote the render over and then not the painted one! This is one case where the model actually looks better than the render, imo

Pic below but there are more on the previous page:

In the mean time, I've thrown a bit of paint at the bulldog.

Mouse, I've been curious.

I live on the other side of the planet. So obviously I want to purchase enough to make the shipping worthwhile.

Buuuut, is there a point where the weight/shipping cost tips that balance and cost goes too high?

There you can find shipping costs.

about $200/250 seems to get it down to about 20%.

I'm not as worried about percentage of my order, just total cost. So likely I'll keep the order to maybe 2-3 items to first try out your products, and hopefully keep the total bill including shipping under $100.

Then if it's sweet, I'll certainly be back for more in the future or maybe a distribution solution will have been worked out by then.

I know how to use a laser cutter and do so daily for my work... just saying

I just got an order that included "Sci-fi building widgets" - and wanted to let you know, the instructions for the widgets don't match what parts you actually get with the kit. The instructions also say "Observation Blimp".

Notably, the picture shows two large circle vents, but the kit only includes one. Instead of the second, there appear to be some belt-driven fans, some sort of a platform (I couldn't figure this one out at all), and some control pads.

oh. okay, I'll look into that.

Is there something wrong with the shopping cart on the site?

My browser starts...java-ing then gives up. I don't have any script blocker, but am on a mobile device...is that an issue?

Now that this got brought up, I'm just waiting for the forklifts package and worm to place an order . Hope they'll be ready to order soon!

I don't know much about these things. I'll pass the info on.


In the meantime, I've been working on stuff.

Prospective contents of Street scenery 2.





Victorian Lamposts (10):




and Trash bin assortment:




signs:





and sheildgenerator thingy:







Ready to send of to webdude. (who is presently complaining about exploding kitchen appliances and stuff...but we care not. right?)

Those signs look fantastic! Looking forward to seeing the lamp posts, etc all painted up - they look very promising too.

So much cool stuff. Now let us buy it

I've been looking for good victorian lamp posts and signs for ages. I gotta bite the shipping bullet and make a large order with you guys

I don't suppose you could come up with a horse-drawn streetcar for Malifaux? It'd need to be S scale or so. Probably not quite as long as an actual street car would have been.

Gaa!! Everytime I think I may finally suck it up and place an order, you post preview pics of something I desperately need, and I go back to waiting for the perfect opportunity. I'm afraid I may be at this for a while. Hints of warehouse sets? Pics of awesome Signs? ...sigh...

So, very soon I'll be ordering the mini forklifts with crates pack:

http://www.miniaturescenery.com/ProductPage.asp?CODE=VH1FRKSET

Along with the building widgets:

http://www.miniaturescenery.com/ProductPage.asp?CODE=SCF1WIDGET

However, I'm still just waiting on the Worm to be added before I can place an order, as I'd probably like to get several of the Worm.

Also, is there any way to get more crates? I want to order a few sets of that but then I'll have like 6 forklifts, which is probably too many for the number of crates

The worm will take a couple of weeks, as the instructions are proving a little complex, but a sheet of just crates is in the works.

Okay, just prodding because I cannot wait to order several of it . You'd mentioned 2-3 weeks on Oct 22nd, so was just checking . Keep on cracking, I want to give you money!

And a sheet of just crates would be VERY handy, to get my crate to forklift ratio in line! So can't wait to have that available to order, too, as it'd go great with the current forklift/crate combo. Hopefully at the same time as the worm so I can order all of it

and now, the 1929 Mackenzie Trench Police box. Did you know these things were made of concrete?

I only knew they were bigger on the inside

It's a nice model, but someone needs to lock up your modelling PC and keep you chained to the one that you make the instructions for the kits you've already modelled on, so that you can sell them .

Unless it's the same PC, of course...

Couple of questions.

First, How long do you estimate before we can buy things like the sign set and the assorted street bins?

Second, When do you think you folks will stop developing great ideas so I can finally pull the trigger on placing an order?

It's been another week, so just checking on this! Black Friday is coming... would be excellent to have these up for that

No Black Friday coming in Australia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Friday_%28shopping%29

They sell, and ship, worldwide . You're posting on a US and UK run website from Germany, they're doing so from Australia, and nearly all retailers are getting ready for the start of the holiday season. How you define the "start" is up to you but it's coming, and it'd be great to be able to sell these kits for it

Exactly.

Probably a good thing to join in on, regardless of where the shopper or shop is based.

I post here, doesn't mean I get holidays on 4th of July
