These will be a very welcome addition to my necromunda table when released. Also are turret options in the works that will attach to the sides?

Not at the moment. We'll see how well these do.

Would it be possible for you to cut circles that would fit inside the side doors and top hatches at least? I could mount my own weapons at that point. Otherwise I've got to say chances of a sale to me have significantly dropped.

Just use the piece of material that would normally be removed from the space.

The only bit of these I am not keen on is the round rear door - I think I would have to swap that out for a rectangular hatch.

Otherwise they look pretty cool

WANT!!!!!!!!

Would be epic 'Chimeras' for my Guard.

When will you release the addon bitz for the Mule/truck?

That's a MUST HAVE!!
And please, PLEASE, add one oh those SWAT with every TRV as they look ace too.
When can we expect to find then in your shop when the test goes well tonight?

Is there a chance of producing a version of the TRV's with out the turret for maybe a bit lower price? I like the tank, but Honestly I am not wanting to use the turret in the kit. None the less I am interested.

The turret parts are really just taking up space on the sheet, and wouldn't reduce the cost enough to make a serious difference.

TEST CUT!!!!

It's 2:30 am, but I'm pleased to say it's all worked out rather nicely. $20 each for the police and Hex version, $18 for the unmarked. They will also be available in value packs of (probably) 4 models, saving a couple of dollars off each. I guess three or four weeks before they are on sale.

Photo's will have wait 'till morning.

This model will need a tiny bit of filing/sanding to acheive the angles around the top edges, ...

Ah, I had been wondering how that was going to work. It would have raised all sorts of interesting possibilities for MDF kits if you had figured out how to do bevelled edges...

Still, it's a wonderful looking kit.


Looks like with possibly a slight reduction to the wheel size, it wouldn't be too hard to convert a tracked version...

and now....

Ta Da!!!!!









Police version shortly.

Holy hell, I want that. I want to give you cash moneys for that.

That is pretty cool indeed

I already loved the drop pods I bought from CNC Minis, one fell off the 2nd story balcony and hit the lawn, just one vane to fix and just a solid mini! I am already drooling at all these new things. Now that I will be having money in the future, I will be ordering more MDF Buggies/trucks/Tac/buildings, etc.

WOW!

These look great!

Would make nice terrain/scenery/objectives for an INFINITY table too!

Those vehicles are terrific. Plus, hexagons, so super futuristic.

Yours stuff is always nice but this is really some next level MDF modelling.

The only thing that I might adjust about the hexes is to give them a bit more variation - at the moment it looks like there are a couple of sizes on different panels, but each panel has a set hex size.

I would go for a slightly more irregular sizing and spacing of hexagons over each panel - it would help, IMO, the slightly odd look of different sized hex patterns on different pieces.

I tried googling for what I meant but I am at work and my google-fu is also weak

I am thinking small clusters of 2-5 hexes including a larger hex overlaid and abutting several smaller hexes - if that makes sense.

I think that would result in too many hexes. This is after all, armor. There is no reason it wouldn't be a universal size, for ease of maintenance and repair. Assuming of course, you view them as plates. If the hexes are visual/paint aesthetic, gloves are off.

These look fantastic! Looking forward to hearing the final pricing. Once they are up for sale, I will almost certainly be placing my first order.

Painting for the police TRV well advanced...

Looks fantastic. The hand rails above the doors are nice, I may sand mine a bit rounder, tho.

The brush guards on the font tho, I dislike. They take away the sleekness which is the best aspect. Definately a leave off for me, personally.

Also, why is it so hard to do an angle cut? Even with a laser...it seems like someone would have made a mount that can rotate a bit and cut angles. If it exists and is simply a whole different magnitude off machine cost I can understand, but someone earlier almost acted like it was magic.

To that end, couldn't you also queue up multiple stacked passes of laser cuts at progressively deeper burns? Since it can engrave and cut, there is obviously output control. I'm sure it would dramatically increase time, I don't see how its not possible, mechanically.

Well, the part of the machine that projects the laser for cutting is not the laser itself, but a mirrored focusing thingy. To change the angle would also mean moving the mirrors and a fairly complex series of adjustments. So yes, it COULD be done, but it's just not worth it.

That looks really nice once it's painted up.

Ah ha. Now that's perfectly understandable.

I've watched a giant laser cutter at the metal Fab place I work at currently. It always seemed like it was the emitter itself right there at the point of cut. I could be wrong of course.

Anyhoo, any idea on the bundle cost yet? The painted police version really made my lust for this even worse, and I don't even want the police version. I'll want a bundle as soon as you put them up. Go ahead and set me a stack aside.

Well hello there Ork warbuggies!

The stuff at CNC just keeps getting better and better!

Okay, so it's a tad space hippy. I'm liking it so far though.

This whole thread is nothing but WIN! Now if we could just get a distributor for your awesomeness in the US again. Wow this stuff is cool.
