Hello guys! a little KS campaign will be launched really soon where i will be releasing 1 sci fi vehicle in both digital and physical versions! Partnered with 3D printers services in UK and EU already, once i find someone in the US i will launch the KS (later this week hopefully!)

Having printing solutions in each region is really good for shipping and logistic all around keeping the cost low, and fast delivery!

It would be useful to have measurements (L x W x H) for the physical print,

and i suspect you'll also be asked for comparison pictures with at least some GW vehicles so having a print in hand to be able to show it will help too

Hello! and yes, i will have printed pics next to a ruler, later this week

The price seems good. I may get one. It wont let me hit the remind button though. It says "this project can be saved once it launches".

**KidCthulhu**

Ooh, that's nice! I like the fact that it's not bristling with guns as a default, so it can make for civilian vehicles in a convoy or something.

**Dawnbringer**

Ummm, for an APC it seems to be lacking doors. Unless everyone uses the top hatch.

**skeleton**

Yep no easy acces or deployment with no doors :(

**KidCthulhu**

Isn't there a low hatch on the back in the first image collage?

It is hidden in the back!

it is a quite big "russian humvee", in scale (not counting the bases area) could fit 10-12 soldiers inside

That link worked. Thanks. Yeah this is looking pretty awesome. Definitely getting 1 for some Damned troops. Now that you are selling prints with this kickstarter, I hope you consider a print kickstarter for some of your other stuff, like the Orcs and your Empire guys. I have 2 of your Imperial Giants I bought off McDougal when he was still with Two Idiots.

Well, let me surprise you by sharing that i sold the rights of all my human factions to a company that is seeking to physically produce them in 28mm scale as resin casts, using Siocast.

They are on the meticulous process of making moulds and production tests! They are based in the US

Campaign is going live right after this comment! haha i had somepictures with the vehcile next to two minis for scale comparisson:

Wheeled version
Joy Games Interactive - Creator
April 6, 2024
Hello guys! Couldnt hold myself and i made the wheels. I will include the digital files for free for both the digital and physical backers.

The reason is because while they look just fine, i made the mistake of not making the original chasis axes for the tracks separate enought, so the wheels to be able to fit, i had to place them unaligned (you will see the pic below) because if i aligned them, i was forced to make wheels very small.

Now that the Damned vehicle is up in the air, I am more interested in this. I like the wheeled version better but there isnt a print option through this for the wheels. If my friend who just got a printer ever gets it going then maybe.

**PeculiarCompanions**

The campaign ended, was funded well! my first step into sci fi stuff.

the printed wheels will be availabe for next KS where i will release a medium tank

**OrlandotheTechnicoloured**

Look forward to the goodies arriving

**Smokestack**

Yeah, looking forward to getting mine and will look out for the next one.
