LOL, I've been meaning to do them. Since you asked, I'll start this weekend

Top stuff, can't wait to see what you come up with.

Yes?

Shout out to mad robot! Thought you would like to see what the colonial marines on scout legs and arms look like. Bases by secret wars...alien infestation.....

@krazynadechukr: Sweet! Looks like they worked out really well. Thanks for posting that.

-Steve

They're great. I really like both the Spec-ops heads and the Colonial Marine parts ....but you got the MOLLE vests wrong. The vertical openings of the horizontal straps should be directly on top of one another, not arranged off-centre like bricks or cinema seating.

it might seem a minor thing, but it's like sculpting a guy with his helmet or scope on backwards. If you can fix this, I'll definitely be in on buying some of these, as I already will on the other stuff I already complimented!

I like this design. It would allow pouches to be offset 1/2 a slot either up/down and left/right. Blackhawk kit has continuous vertical slots(ie no gaps) but they're not staggered like these are.

If one does a search for "molle vests", they will find quite a few examples. This happens to be the one I was inspired by...






I don't think I did too bad

Thanks for your feedback!

I hope you don't take this wrong, but .....REALLY?!?! "Make it exactly as I want and I'll buy them!"? I guess I feel they don't need fixed?
Given the feedback he's been getting from everyone else, I don't think his business decisions hinge on you liking them. Seems odd that you
use the lack of liking one design to hold you back from ordering.....anything? Too each his own.

@Steve
You do great work sir. I don't feel you need to change a thing.

Well, my thanks to both of you guys

Folks will not always see eye to eye on everything and any feedback is good feedback for me.

Here's a preview of something new...


-Steve

and mordia lives again! good looking!

Crikey, a Space Marine could break the bones in their hand trying to punch a jaw like that

Personally I like the torsos way more than I thought, plus this is an interpretation of the body armour not an exact copy.
I just wish there was some pouches to load these out with

The new heads are coming on nicely I see, any chance of one getting a bionic eye ?

Strong chins are necessary in the tough, unlit future...

I am planning on an officer sprue for this line with a few heads and torsos, one of the heads will have a bionic eye.

That would be a useful sprue, any chance of a partially cybernetic officer head ?

Not immediately, summer has bigger things in store.

No, I meant when you produce the officer sprue, I understand the schedule is set and busy.

Afraid not.

I'm sorry you feel that way. I can't make everything at once and I'm not a company that makes things "on demand". I wish I had the resources to make everything you ask for but I don't.

I know mate I was just thinking a half cybernetic head wearing the dress cap would have been rather cool looking, it would combined the elegance with the harshness.

But no worries you are producing great stuff so happy very happy.

LDD is all over this thread like... well, you know!

I suppose we'll chalk it up to enthusiasm and forgive him.... for now...!

It looks like those jaws were inspired by everyone's favorite insanely strong jaw.



Here's a fun fact: even though Starship Troopers 3 was snubbed at the Oscars (purely movie politics, I'm sure, and not a statement of quality of the movie), Casper Van Dien's chin won Best Supporting Actor.

Fair enough. The offset pattern is less common in that case (I didn't recall seeing that kind of pattern before, and I've seen a lot of MOLLE vests) but clearly I've been proved wrong in this case, so I'll apologise for stating that it's inaccurate.

Wait... What? I think you need to firstly take a chill pill and secondly work on your English language comprehension.

I don't think his business hinges on me buying anything in any way - given that I haven't bought anything from him at this stage (only becoming aware of Mad Robot quite recently) I think it's pretty safe that his business doesn't hinge on me. On the other hand, I'm not going to buy anything that I don't like, either - as none of us should. If you go back and re-read what I wrote, you'll see that I was talking about buying these vests as well as other items, and not that making any order at all hinges on him redoing the vests.

While Casper sports a fine specimen, there is but one true Godfather of Chins




Heck he's even a published authority on the subject






My first thought on the heads was "man those are some pissed off train conductors". lol As usual great work on these Steve.

You have obviously never ridden British Rail they all look like that and thats on a good day

@Azazelx & Alarmingrick: It's all good guys, just a friendly misundertanding

@LDD & Paulson: Those chins would count as magical +3 orc killers if deployed in a game of D&D®....show some respect
