hmmm... i dunno... could be that the smaller amo pack is for giving a certain flow... so that you never run short of bullets in mid burst... i expect some sort of engine for transporting the belt further? lots of reasons why you would have two storage means connected to each other...

That's one thing I'll change, I never understood why it has the ammo box attached, AND wearing it gives you a huge ammo hopper on your back? It should be one or the other eh?
Even a modern day minigun can put out 2000 - 6000 rounds a min', so you really need both...
And maybe it's a battery pack to power the barrel rotation

Not on current topic but wanted to share this. Found this link today. It's amazing. I could spend an insane amount of money there.

Specifically, this section:

Hope this helps someone out. There's so much amazing stuff there.

The more I go through that site the more I go *gasp!* I so want that! And that! No way, they have THAT?
Time to keep things in perspective. I'm getting behind in my 'completed projects vs. material for new projects' initiative. Basically I need to finish some stuff before I get new stuff. And I need more storage for completed projects. I'm thinking a new set of shelves and a re-work of space I already have available are in my near future.

You can't start new projects until you have materials stockpiled. Your logic is fuzzy.

O scale is perfect, but sometimes HO things can be used, depending on the texture (as long as there are no scalebusters)- don't buy HO scale textured brick or anything like that, it won't look right. Stick with O or 1/35 model bitz.

Have a look around the googles and see if you cant find a bulk supplier of High impact polystyrene sheet (the trade name for plasticard). I bought 5 square metres for £30.
If you buy A4 plasticard sheets from hobby shops you pay a premium for it being a 'hobby' material.

In the US, I use www.iplasticsupply.com- (High-impact styrene) they even custom-cut and shipped me sheets of PVC foam (wasn't on the website, but I called, asked, and they delivered it). I save at least 300% over buying in Hobby Shops. I still get textured plasticard and shaped rods and tubes from Plastruct and Evergreen, but sheets are much cheaper.

1/48 scale works really well too. It's a bit harder to find (1/24 seem to rule the market) bit totally worth it. I have a 1/48 M113 APC that is only slightly (and I mean slightly) larger than the current GW Rhino.
There's been always been a scale disparity between countries regarding the 1/whatever and how O and N and HO are measured. Not sure why, but I've researched this and see the same information in each search I've done.

HO, 1/72, and matchbox cars go well together for gaming, but they are much tinier than our favored Heroic 28mm scale.

I have some HO on my tabletop, and so long as you remove the bits that put into scale perspective it works out really well. Here are some examples:
Tower is HO scale. I removed the ladder and a couple other gubbins and it looks just fine on my Heroic 28mm scale table.
HO scale fuel tank. Just noticed I left a bit of ladder on it. That'll get torn off next time I use it.
You can force a scale perspective with many things. I try to avoid 1/72 unless it's smashed up junk rubble. Same w/ 1/24 scale. 1/35 is close enough where I'd use it for most things (like the 1/35 Humvee I converted into a Gorkamorka trukk) but if I can get my hands on 1/48 I'm as close as I'll get to 28mm w/o it being a GW product.

The benefit of 1/72 scale gaming is it's affordability, any kind of model kit, railroad product (like that badass tank Skalk, se he removed or hid any scalebusters, rivets are ALWAYS in scale) can be used for whatever you'd like, it's just a matter of the scale.. The downside is a market flooded with crap-tastic,mass-produced figs...but they are cheap.

hey dave... today i went to the GW shop next to me when coming home from work...
well i let the guy there teach me (in german... ) all about glazes and washes and inks... he said... the current range of glazes has much in common with the old citadel inks... what´s your opinion on that?
well i got three of the four glazes then and also i got me a drybrush gold paint... i think this will serve me nicely for my brass works on upcoming projects... and the new turquise equivalent... gotta get that verdigris effect right finally...
so thanks for your earlier helpful comments mate
