**Lone Cat**

exactly (or maybe i need to buy components whenever which one becomes available).

^ Leman Russ (sample but I may make more drawings) and basic weapons... Lasgun/Lasrifle, Autogun and Bolter (for sergeant)
which models of lasguns and autoguns looks best for the proposed IG army? the Mauser-Springfield type? the Vic original type or modern type?
Also on the bolter. which one looks better? the A (generic bolter with different grip-stock or type B... which based on Madsen automatic rifle?

**Vintersorg**

YYYEESSS!!!!!

Finally a track-working Leman Russ!!!

Be sure to make the turret large enough for all three crew members and the guns!!!

There, please, copy my design =)!

Love to see that the 'Ol battered LR is getting some love.

**Lone Cat**

This is my drawing that has just been finished. the Siamese armor choices. All of which are based on the actual Siamese armours up to the moments of its war against Indochine Francais in December 1940.

Spoiler:

All are made to the contexts of 40k universe. but for the MBT Choices. which designs looks best for the army?

1. Generic Leman Russ
2. 'Vickers' Pattern Leman Russ
3. 'Enlarged' Vickers 6-ton Mark E

And any suggestions to improve the designs and made them conforms with the existing IG Codex vehicles?

Also I need sprocket wheel templates for a generic Imperial tank threads please

checked my post box on the way out to work tonight, and ooh my kickstarter mini's have turned up!

didnt have much of a chance to look at them before i had to leave for work, but:

clockwise from top left:
tracked platform, static platform, multi missile launcher, flac cannon

all perfect casts, no warp or bubbles that I can see. the way the cog fits for the flac cannons is great, should mean you can get both 'arms' aligned easily. good stuff

**johnstewartjohn**

Nice, Looking forward to mine

**Col.Gravis**

After what seems like forever, its time for a very happy annoucement!

The 2014 Kickstarter Heavy Weapons are now on sale from the webstores of both Curious Constructs and Zinge Industries!

Here are just some of the many possible possibilities, with five different platforms and fifteen different weapons/equipment options!

**Lone Cat**

What takes you so long? Gravis.

Well for me once I've finished the 1,000 pts expansion of 1st 'redcoats' IG regiment. the new WW2 themed IG will be materialized.

And what are the differences between the two cavalry legs? the militia and the dress uniform legs.. a bigger clearer view please

http://curiousconstructs.theslowcentury.com/ocart/index.php?route=product/category&path=68_59_65

In this product preview the two different cav legs appears to look exactly the same.

**Col.Gravis**

All sort of things lol, I'm sure if I did this full time things would be alot quicker!

The difference is that the Dress legs have the vertical stripe down the outside leg, the Militia legs do not.

**Clang**

Those modular gun carriages are great - the different looks will suit different games and individual gamer taste. Hope they sell well for you

**Col.Gravis**

Been quiet for a while, but things are moving again, towards resin no less!

The complete range of Curious Constructs torso's are now resin cast rather then metal, and with no change to pricing either. The casting is all done by the chaps at Zinge Industries, if you've purchased directly from them before, or our Artillery kits you'll know that means top notch quality! Next up I'm remastering the Pith Helmetted Heads and Dragoon Guard heads amongst other bits, they'll be switched to resin before the end of the summer!

**Lone Cat**

Will the 'Eagle torso' gets the resin mold? And will you make 'blank rifle arms' and separate shoulder pads like what Victoria does?

The lifeguard cuirass torso looks closer to 'WHFB' empire and also has more 'mass production' feel.

**Col.Gravis**

No plans for a return of the Eagle Torso no, that was a limited run of old metals.

No plans for seperate shoulder pads either, though empty arms are something you might see eventually.

Yeah, the torso has had a couple of minor changes, I'm much more happy with it now.

**Kid_Kyoto**

Any plans to add legs or arms for the desert raiders?

Or doing them in resin?

**Col.Gravis**

Answer to all of those questions is yes Kid_Kyoto!

And will there be desert raider puttee infantry legs and cav legs? (and let's hope it fits nicely with the pre-existing (19th century) outfits)

When did the Ministry of War introduces puttee to the british troops (and replaces either long boots and webbing leggings. did the Mahdist war the first time puttee has been introduced with Khaki uniforms)

Did Praetorians being deployed against human heretic rebels similar to the Mahdist war? (or did the official 'Orks Drift' diorama a Mahdist war in space?)

**Col.Gravis**

Interesting idea Kid_Kyoto, I better deliver what' already on the bench first though!

Puttee legs indeed!

**Col.Gravis**

So been a few changes!

The old Curious Constructs webstore has now closed, everything currently available has been migrated over to Kirton Games, www.kirtongames.com.

As of yesterday, the Dragoon Guard & Pith Helmeted Heads are back, this time in resin, with some minor alterations to the Pith Helmetted set, and now greater variety in the Dragoon Guard set! Theres also a cheeky extra discount on GW Scions which go rather well with the Dragoon Guard heads.

**Lone Cat**

that's nice meowwwwww

What else will becomes resin?

**Frank&Stein**

Whatever happened to the heavy laser rifles?

Are they no longer available or temporarily out of stock?
