I absolutely love to hear Americans and Europeans complaining about high shipping and taxes - it's so refreshing to be on the receiving end for once!

Re: Worm..

...worm painted. All rusty and stuff. nearly done.








Also, I don't think I posted this:



Still have to do the insides and some gems.

Should be around the $22 mark. Available soon.

Schadenfreude - it's never really been cool.

Mousemuffins, I love the aegis and I am looking forward to paying for one!

This stuff is amazing!!!! In the first post you said dont be shy asking for stuff...What about a corn field? I know it sounds weird but you could make little 28mm full size corn stalks with enough space between stalks to place a mini on a base? I know the ww2 crowed would like this.

a corn field. in 3mm MDF? Not sure if serious.

Wasn't there a manufacturer who recently did this? A corn field, I mean. Not one in 3mm MDF.

A new thing. Still working on details, but seems to working quite well.

Tactical Response Vehicle :





to be available in both Marked and Unmarked versions.

and because hexes ARE the future.....



128mm long, 80mm wide, and about 46mm to the top of the hull.

Both the worm and that Tac Response Vehicle are absolutely awesome.

RE: Shipping container

Somebody has been playing Borderlands....

Actually the Response vehicle seems heavily inspired by the Crimson Lancer from the first Borderlands. Or maybe the new Sicaran Battletank from Forgeworld, just with wheels.

Mother of the Emporer. I think I'll have to get a worm just because. And a couple of those TRVs.

The TRV is a little bit bat Mobile, a little bit Aliens APC, a spot of Bladerunner spinner, a vague wave of Lamborghini, and a measure of Lancer.

A few more iterations:



Increased the size and changed the shape of the side doors, Hatches a tiny bit bigger, belt feed thingy on the side of the weapon system.

Love the model! Very nice, indeed!

Any chance, though, that the turret on the top is scaled to fit with existing models from another company? I'd love to put, for example, a Puppets War turret on one of those...

Oh, and I guess that brings up scale... How big is that thing going to be?

@Mousemuffins: Keep us informed if you have news on your old Wraithbikes etc.

I'm pretty sure a puppets war turret will fit. Do they have a 1" dia. hole?

Size was mentioned further up, but I shall reiterate:

128mm long, 80mm wide, and about 46mm to the top of the hull.



* damn Ninjas with their accurate guessing.

Those look good, definitely lots of sci-fi inspiration there.

The new APC looks pretty cool

..now with running boards, a top hatch engraving (for those that don't wish to use the weapon system) and a slightly grumpier face (lifted the nose and narrowed the vision block area)

Ok those TRV's are awesome. When are they for sale and what price point. Op

For the love of the Emporer, just sell me some of those TRVs.

Now.

Any chance of it having a rear ramp for transporting troops? A rear view of it would be fantastic. I'm loving the police engraved on the side nice I am building a police force .

His earlier pics had a rear shot. There is a access point there

That is so !!

Very cool looking - I would have prefered square doors - but that could be retro-ed.

that's what happens when I begin typing before all he pics load , thanks.

Oh and that will do nicely, now as long as shipping to he U.S. doesn't kill the concept before it starts. Of course you will have a deal of buy xxxx and they are cheaper right? Pretty please?

That's look a lot better from those first renders. I'm not sure I'm feeling the roof guns, but those'll be swappable I'm sure. I have one big question though. Will the wheels roll?

Sorry, no rolling wheels. Price point of approx. $20 plus exorbitant postage. There will be a value pack for bulk savings.

Anyhoo, pretty much done, now with added 30mm MDF swatman (not included)!!!





68 parts, plus another ten for the turret.

....now I need to do a test cut.........

Man, it's incredible what you are doing with 'fancy cardboard'. The worm is just insanely cool. And the TRV is bad ass. Yeah, it would be great if that turret hole is a universal size.

I seriously frakking want this TRV. More and more every time I load the pics. Test print and put it on your store. Now.

How does MDF take paint? Is there a noticeable texture difference, or does a good primer and paint fix all?

A good prime and it's good to go. The cut edges can be very absorbent, a quick wipe of PVA fixes this if it's a problem.

This model will need a tiny bit of filing/sanding to acheive the angles around the top edges, (see picture) but there is a clear engraved line to help with this.



I'll be doing a test cut this evening.
