wooohoo, got a price on my power armour troopers!
They are about 3 or 4 times the bulk of the regular troopers.
So they will cost more…🙁
A pack of 5 will be £2.00
NOT cheap but they are big bulky figures and you shouldn’t need more than a couple of packs?
I will get them on my site when I get back from holiday.
Cheers, I am just very conscious that my models are more expensive than others normally, but these are even more expensive again.
But yes they are not the same size as 6mm infantry models in general.
Good guy farmer AND Junker insurgent
(Well, I always kind of assumed the Junkers were the good guys)
The Junkers are good guys, the Junker Insurgents as the RDF call them, not so much, but then they kind of do have a valid reason for what they do, but maybe not how they do it.
It’s all a bit grey really.
Remember the old Hex2Go cargo containers that I discontinued as they tore through moulds at a rate of knots…
I have a plan to bring them back, wish me luck.
So I will be ordering some new prints from Shapeways for the Hex2Go in a week or two and see how they get on.
In the meantime I am painting up a set of towers for my Junker Refinery:
So…. I have sent a sketch off to my sculptor for a test sculpt of my alien race.
I have always planned on introducing aliens, but wanted to avoid GW themed ones and dog/lizard man races.
Still bipedal, but bigger than human sized and a very different way of fighting.
Should have a green maybe in a month to show you.Off to work out how to make KR 16 rules for them now…

So the old models ripped up the moulds pretty quickly and made it uneconomical to carry on selling them.
I tried having them done in metal but they cost a bomb.
So I gave up for a while.
Then I thought about casting them in two parts, that would avoid any overhangs and make them much more mould friendly.
The prints arrived today and are bent.
When you put the two parts together they are not flush.
I have spoken with the printers and they are going to see if they can re-print them.If not, or if they do and they are still bent I can make a few touches to correct them by hand but they wont be perfect.
You can see the gap in the model below which will need to be filled prior to mould making, now this is a small error but it is an error all the same.
Would you still be happy to buy them if they were ever so slightly not straight?
The problem with sanding is that it will take some of the models feature/body away.
Will the heat thing cause any other issues?
Distortion, or will they adhere to each other?
Thanks, I was going to add some stuff that would have made it clearly 6mm.
Kind of glad I didn’t now.The bend will just mean some minor filling.
The bigger area (the bent bit) goes face down which leaves a gap as shown, this gap can just be filled with green stuff so the two surfaces are flush when cast.
Are you bringing back the half size one too?
Sorry, yeah if the full size one works out ok.
