Lovely, absolutely marvelous, that's what that tank is!
So, I was curious to know if there is any plans to do a kilted leg set? Maybe take the tribal legs and modify them with a little Scottish love?

Perhaps, I've seen some interesting ideas for a kind of armored kilt. You never know, anything's possible. It's more a matter of finding enough time to do them.

And don't forget WW1 puttee legs too

@lone cat: no sponsons on this one. Puttee legs are coming.

Really not? It kinda looks like you left space for them on there…

This design wasn't mine originally but I was such a fan of it, I haven't done a lot to alter it. An ambitious hobbyist could definitely fashion something that might work there but there is nothing being done as part of the kit. At least not right away.

Looks good. If I asked for a say, a shoulder pad with specific iconography, how much would you charge?

Say asking for a raised crown on a shoulderpad, kind of like you did the dragons.

Now that the tank is in its final stages, I can share something that's coming soon after. It's a nice expansion to our CDF line and will include new heads, both male and female. It will also include new parts for CDF Heavy Infantry, here's a pic:



Look for these sometime in early summer.

Will there be goggle helmets minus gas masks? CDF is awesome so this is anticipated either way.

Woohoo!

That heavy trooper looks awesome!
Always liked the CDF legs, but the rest of the line didn't match my general army theme. This changes everything After all, my Inquisitor needs more henchmen!

Thanks guys!

I do believe there will be a set of the new heads without the gasmask.

Have you alread thought of a price for the Gideon MBT? Also, will the new arms have different styles? Like fatigue and imperial arms, for example

The Gideon Tank will be priced at around $70. There will be a price reduction on three or more. The new arms are just the one style, shown in the picture I posted a few days ago.

$70 seems great on the Gideon, it's a pretty thing so far
Those CDF storm troopers look the business

Well, read the entirety of this thread (yay boring job) and I have to say, I've really enjoyed ordering from MRM. Having an excess of Wargames Factory Great-cloak guys and wanting something else to do with them, I picked up some Ushanka and Kurgan helmet heads to make them cheaper not-Valhallans and using Cadian arms on them.

Aside from the collar sticking up into the Ushanka, they look pretty good!

Nice work

Hey folks, the Gideon MBT launches Friday! I thought I would share a quick pick of how a cast part matched up with the 3D print.

Print is on the top, cast is on the bottom...


For more info, check out our Facebook Page

Wow, perspective messes you up, man. Those two parts look very different in size, but if you compare the separations from the parallel lines that encompass them, they can't be more than a few mil different…

Yeah, this was a quick pic taken with my Ipad. Believe me, they are the same size.

But good catch, I hadn't even noticed it

The tank looks fantastic.

love it

Well I know what I am asking for on my Birthday.

Looking great!

That's a clean beautiful cast. That MSRP is outta my range though. Eek..

Any news on the CDF reinforcements?

I thought that too. There are some mold materials that change size after being cast (I think just reduce in size but might be wrong) and I thought maybe that's what we were seeing until I read MR's reply.

Nothing to report on new CDF releases yet. They won't be out for a few months.

Dayum! Looks like I may have to order a co-ed squad and a heavy squad for my Weytani Republic troopers!

Hmm, Gideon looks tasty! very nice chunky battle tank!

That Gideon tank looks awesome when will be available?

Should be this weekend, either Friday or Saturday. I'll post an announcement here.
