Yep, pretty much that, but mobile and it looks like it can take a based soldier to man a gun and I need sitting men to drive Muwahahaha, I have some weapons that will fit it still.

Yeah, once the money flows again, I may be ordering some of those plus some of the buildings/bridges as well as a paint and tool station

Looking at the game image you supplied Dave, Once gotten, I will add some more details to the basic kit and make it oh so my own wild deal! I have a Heavy Flamer or two, and a Plasma cnnon waiting for some vehicles to mount on a weapon hard point for some awesome desert raiding!

The whole game is cell-shaded comic-book style, that is why everything has the black-lines, but it's really fun to race around, jumping and shooting other technicals

I PM'd Damo, to see if he can bootleg me those and a few of those Borderlands-style MDF buildings they make.

Don't forget to have plenty of bandits in it too

Lots of creative paint options too

Although this kid doesn't know what he's talking about, the MG is superior against the Rakks, and you get unlimited ammo, so you just hold down both mouse buttons and DAKKA DAKKA

The Australian company that makes this uses MDF laser-cut material, so it will be almost as weighty as resin once built, but it is about as small as an Ork warbuggy They are also good for issues with customer service, and they made things up by stuffing an extra drop pod

Based on what i have seen of the 3 view, they are each made of three laser cut parts, and you glue them all together

No problem, the vanes of the pods are 2 pieces I had to glue together, the kits they send always come with instructions that are super easy to understand. The look of the arms for the buggy also look 2-3 pieces, the 3rd being that bulge in the central spot.

I don't suppose you could post some pics of the build progress ? Also is it easy to alter the edges to more a smooth curved look ?

Sorry for being a pain but I quite like this model but have no experience with MDF models

Oh, I can't afford the buggies, and would use sandpaper to smooth the buggies a bit once I can get them. I merely have the pods is all.

My mistake thanks for all the info though yes I thought sand it but was not sure if it scuffs at all I might invest in one soon for a trial
