I hope to be adding the new flexi stuff this weekend.

Tried a couple of days ago fluffed it up - had a beer - gave up - certificate 18 descriptions were not a great idea.

I will wait till then then

and have another beer

I still need them tank bikes

I will buy 5 hell maybe 10

**zinge**

Been having a play with the tank bike.

Track option shown and added some guns

Trying to sort body shape and almost there I think.

Enjoy

**dsteingass**

Damn! LDD has an idea, and Kit makes it!...AGAIN!!
That isjust fething cool!

**Bolognesus**

...there are just sooo many problems with that concept; even for the 40K universe, that's one unlikely device

...hella cool, though.

**dsteingass**

Add rivets and skulls and the Machine Spirit stays happy!

**faolan**

Take off the rear set of side mounted dakka, add a small rear facing gun (compared to the rest at least).

Then change the track to a center-guide type with a toothed sprocket

Some other ideas quickly and shabbily photochopped in.

**lone dirty dog**

One it was based on a German ww2 Prototype, which I asked Zinge to build,as for 40K rules they can go suck my arse, this was a project I asked for.

Plus I dont play 40K I just like the miniatures so fluff wise I could not care any less, however I am sure Zing will design it so it has a multi use for whoever and whatever.

Zing you are doing a great job mate and I think it looks great

That was my thoughts exactly

**dsteingass**

Yeah I remember you bringing it up LDD! this is Very cool Indeed!

Perhaps make the side dakka optional? Have it an open hole with optional blank armor inserts, or different dakka, sponsons, or any number of other attachments that fit in the holes?? Even sculpted inserts, like the rhino door replacement doors.

I am leaving this up to Zing to design, I know he has a few options in mind, plus conversion kits

Ola guys - sorry for the radio silence.

House is now on the market - Anybody want to buy an "immaculate" house in Chorley, Lancs?

New Flexible decal strips are up on the site - had a little bit of a reshuffle.

http://zinge.co.uk/index.php?route=product/category&path=17_95

Also chains are up.

http://zinge.co.uk/index.php?route=product/product&path=17_95&product_id=263

Cheers

Kit

**Death By Monkeys**

Can the house be purchased through using an online shopping cart on zinge.co.uk?

**zinge**

With my next shipment of silicone I will mold the house and put the casts up on the site. Free delivery still applies.

**zinge**

Bit more work on the old tank bike

Taken some suggestions and put them into the design.

This is great fun

Might need another rivet or 2 more - what do you think?

Cheers

Kot

**Clang**

The weapons (and mounts) need to all be modular - customers will want to model this in many different ways:
- just a cool model as is
- counts-as bikes of various sorts
- mechanical cavalry, e.g. counts-as rough riders
- grot tanks
- killa kans
etc. For the same reason, I'd also make the cupola removable and replacable with a turret mount.

And yes, obviously it needs more rivets

**Charax**

Am I going blind? I can't find the flexible chainsaw teeth on their own, only as part of a sample pack

**zinge**

@ Clang - It will be modular - Good call on the cupola. Wonder what diameter I should make the recess? Hmm...

@Charax - Rivet/decal strips are not available individually. Those that are popular will be made into sets of 10 (either all the same or as a cohesive set)

Cheers

Kit

**lone dirty dog**

Good news it is going to be a modular kit

this way it allows for variations in units and originality

The new texture on the front and back top sides is that an option or permanent fixture.

The only reason I ask is maybe it could do with some kind of edging

you are still doing a wheeled version of these though right

How soon on this being ready, I only ask as if it worth waiting to place an order

Is there any chance you could do a steam punk version of this as well

I am thinking some kind of cogs small boiler and chimney stacks, even as an add on kit

Glad you are enjoying this, as I cant wait for this to arrive

**Viktor von Domm**

that is a very nice idea LDD... steampunk rough riders...i need a second job it seems...

Good luck with the job mate hope it is going well, no probs hope they are some use mate

**Viktor von Domm**

you bet they will be used

the grot by the way (gnoblar?) took me some time to see what is what... awesomely detailed chap^^

**Sigmundr**

I want 8 of those as grot tanks. I've been looking at good alternatives to the FW ones, and these are it. Any rough guess on a price per model?

**faolan**

I really wish the hatch hinged towards the front, or maybe a two piece hatch that splits in the middle?

Also, curse you Sigmundr, your signature link made me spend my titan money on something else!

Why would you want it hinged towards the front

that makes no sense, however the 2 hatch look I could see working.

**zinge**

@Sigmundr - I am hoping to release the basic model at around the £10 - £15 price bracket won't know until its moulded.

@Faolan - From the front? seems like crazy talk to me! but I hopefully will be releasing various "turrets" to fit the 18mm diameter hole.

Cheers

**lone dirty dog**

I cant figure out why he would want the hinges at the front either, I really cant wait to see how this turns out
