If I made thinner tyres would you need mud guards etc or cut down the existing?
Or would you want them intergral?

I think if you made thinner tires, you should make compatible mud guards. Or if they are for choppers, you don't really need mud guards I guess. But some might want the mud guards, so I say it's worth a shot.

I just want some alternative "realistic" looking tires did not really think about the diameter to be honest as I was thinking of scratch building rather than using on existing models. As people have all ready mentioned is the kind of thing but I was hoping for some to work with IG and some for orks Without metal plates riveted all over them more along the forge world ork bike upgrade set. I guess ork wise I was looking at chopper style wheels larger in size but thiner in width some large back wheels with some decent tread pattern maybe some to build trikes with as well, IG wise all terrain wheels and road bike wheels keeping to the scale of IG not space marine bloated scale.

I work best with pictures and other people seem to respond to them stick some up and see if anything takes my fancy.

@Mr Dog handed your parcel to the postie personally - should be with you tomorrow!

@Mr Zinge thank you very much will keep a look out for it

Will have a look for some pics did have some on my computer some where ……………….

Looking for the pics but found some stuff for idea's
the wheels dude the wheels its more the size of the wheels though you could drop the spoke look and put discs in that way they would tie more with the 40k look, This one I just thought was kind of cool Orky and this one is dam cool build the whole thing and I would buy loads

Who wants ogre bikes Hope this helps !!!!

I really need some shots of the first one at some different angles if I am to make an educated scientific suggestion.

Parts

I am waiting on my new debit card, but then I will be placing an order.

Who wants a scenic diomrama or large oval flyier/Monster bas?

Sculpted by my Good Friend Liam Ainscough for his Dark Eldar Army who doomed to failure @ the GW tourny this weekend!

Well if you are given it away I will take it …………………………….

My order turned up today and everything was looking great the tracks have turned out really well I have to say, need to get them together to see how good they really look everything else looked dam good as well.

The extra's are always a nice touch so thanks very much will be back again soon to spend the cash I don't have.

I second the plea for tires/wheels for use with our toys. I would love to see something in at least two sizes. A standard size wheel and an over-sized one as well. As for images for inspiration please refer to this image search link. Most anything here would be good. Basically any deep tread designed for off road work would be good.

The guns have painted up well and the paint job really helps bring out the detail shows how good they are (could be putting a list together for a few now) the blaster pistol is dead cool star wars anyone ………...

Looking forward to seeing painted AKs, assuming you're going to be getting them too, of course.

I love the blatant necro bulkhead ladder! I really need to place an order man.

Zinge@ A bit quite these days whats going on anything new ?


dsteingass@ Checked out your necromunda scenery NICE WORK! REALLY NICE! you have done some great stuff love the way you have used the card scenery pieces to build the sections from in plasti-card.

Short answer is lots but not much coming out imminetly. Doing a lot of commission work some of which may turn up on ZI at some point.

Looking at upgrading to a proper website address soon - getting all respectable and stuff!

Well here is a big poke Now Dance Monkey Dance

Just found these maybe you remember them like the bandolier you should redo them and

I got my order quite a while ago, but I was gone, so I didn't get to do anything with them for a while.
I got 10 of the small AK-47's:

Someone had menthioned either here, or in a review that the guns are a on the small side. Well, that is true, they are smaller in length than the IG las guns. But if you add a bit of plastic rod to the business end, and either a wire or wooden butt stock to the other end, like so:

You get a gun that is the same size as an IG weapon. As seen here: (GW mini shown for scale purposes only)


I am very happy with them, and will be converting all of them in a similar fashion. Some with wire stocks and some with a wooden or composite stock.

I got lots more stuff too, but I haven't gotten around to using them yet.

Thanks Zinge!

RSJake@ Nice job works well like the rod on the end gives it more of a lasgun effect

I rather like the stock. I'm wondering whether I should attempt something similar for my bikers.

Any new stuff in the works, Kit?

Short answer - yes




Long answer - Yup indeedy doo there are definitely things in the works. In the works I can confirm that there are things.

Knock Knock,

Whos there?

Things in the works!

Really?

Yes

Awesome!

LOL zinge.... good one mate! Needed a smile this morning.
