Really Nice, your going to get me in trouble with the wife. I will probably pick 2 up but will have to budget it in so I don't get into to much trouble.

The masters for this model are done, but I ran out of silicone last night!  I hope to have the molds done in a week or so, I'll post pictures when they're done. |

It looks great and will take the weapon mounts perfectly. Can't wait to get a couple into a game where a Federal force are defending some sort of location against an onslaught of alien models. Should create an interesting balance having the forces in hardened bunkers.
This is exactly where I was aiming with the Gruntz game, trying to replicate some of the strategy based PC games where you can pop troops into bunkers as part of defending your base area.

Looks great. I'll pick up a couple of the 15mm versions at some stage!

Those look really great! I like how you can take the top off so I can detail the inside.

When are they ready to sell? And price range yet?
They look great and I'd love to have one or two for my table top.

Looking excellent! Options for turret mount would be excellent. Even better would be a dug-in hard mode, which sinks into the ground for a low profile - harder to hit. A slot for optional turrets would be great. - Perhaps just a space to take you existing turrets. I don't quite know how to pull off 'dug-in hard.' One could simulate mounded dirt up against the side of the piece or to actually inset it into the ground one could insert into a foam game board. Is this what you mean? I've drawn a plug in the roof that the player can fill with different pieces. I've modified my SRM, LRM and Gauss turrets to fit as well as a sensor array. I'll get some more pictures up when I get it further along. The height of the thing is still a bit of a question, Currently there is approximately 12 1/2mm from the floor to the top of the base. And 4 1/3 mm opening for the window and and overall headroom of 25mm. I figure there's no way to get the openings sized such that they'll fit every model. A 4mm opening should provide enough of a range so that players can have gun barrels sticking out of the model without being so big it looks like a grenade magnet. If all else fails, 25mm should provide enough room for most 15mm players to get whichever mini inside the thing they want to. I've also had an idea for some time now for a system plates that would fit together to make building interiors. Is there a demand for such a thing in 15mm? Some system plates would be interesting. I also think we are missing some decent roads in 15mm. If I was building resin roads I would want them to be compatible with things like the Kato pre-made buildings. A series of road sections but with added "block plates" with minor ground detail that you put between the roads as bases for buildings. You could be on to a winner if you made one set that was flexible to be used as a freeway in 6mm scale or a city street if used in 15mm. Cover both markets with one modular solution. |
