    So the first cab is designed:


    Now, such a small model enlarged this much does look odd.
    In that the windows look they are really deeply sunken into the model, however when printed the windows are in fact a mere 0.2mm deep.
    So they will look a lot less stark in real life.

    The seats will be green stuff so they are soft and squidgy like the RDF prefer.
    So they are not shown.

    The weapon may or may not be CAD, depends on the print quality.
    I will investigate when I get a sample of the cab back from the new printers…

    Lookin’ good. That “supply” version’s going to be a sci-fi technical (or several, actually) as soon as I get my mits on it.

    The first test casts are done:

    Bit hard to make out the details in the light and with the resin being light, but hopefully I can get them painted in a few days…

    Should be on the website about the 15th ish.

    It suddenly occurred to me that with my skimmers getting close to being released, I need names for them.

    My other RDF vehicles are kind of D&D character classes (kind of)

    There is:
    Pathfinder Ranger
    Pathfinder Archer
    Pathfinder Warrior
    and all can be up-armoured into a Paladin variant.

    I need a similar theme for my skimmers, there is the basic light open top supply/fast one. A covered troop transporter on and the missile pod support one..
    Any ideas?

    Cool mate, I must admit the paint job certainly helps with the look of these.

    Kometenmelodie Vehicle Works under the guidance of its CEO, Mr Siggian has taken advanced orders on its new vehicles.

    KVW already produce the Bullfrog amphibious truck:

    favoured by locals and Junker Insurgents.

    The latest vehicles to roll off the production line are the KVW Skimmer range, comprised of the Asp, Adder and Cobra.

    The Asp is a basic utility vehicle marketed toward cargo and light haulage for civilian use.

    The Adder is an armoured version of the Asp.

    The Cobra is the Adder with the deadly Pilum Missile System integrated.

    Both the Adder and the Cobra are RDF vehicles.

    It is believed that the RDF will be able to further disrupt the Junker Insurgents who have until now, been using the amphibious capabilities of the Bullfrog truck to evade RDF capture.

    In the first of what I feel will be many, the first KVW skimmer conversion:

    Still a WIP but you get the idea.

    Now there’s an idea for a mini range………crew figures,light non bulky uniforms, gunners with helmets/flak vests etc  eg, driver at open console & wheel, several gunners standing with, well….guns! Commander half figures for turrets,crew types sat at rest/travelling, general ‘tank rider’ types for ‘loading’ technicals etc……..

    Just sayin’!!’

    I may have a crack at that.

    For now,

    WIP of a workerbot:

    Will have claws/grips on the ends and some other details etc..

    really like those drones/bots, what mini is that posing with the workerbot?

    Have you thought about making upgrade/mod packs: spare guns, dozer blades, mesh panels, comms dish, crane arm, turrets etc so we can mod your stuff ourselves?

    Cheers dudes!

    It is the leader from the Junker Insurgent pack.
    Or doc, the guy on the very first page of this topic..

    Why yes, there was posted just today to the caster, a crane arm and dozer blade for a Pathfinder upgrade kit!
    (the ones above in fact)
    I am debating conversion stuff in general though, I am not sure the market for 6mm conversions is that great is it?

    I know there are some very wise people that like the 6mm skirmish and the extra level of detail that brings, but is there enough to warrant all the fiddly bits that people will not buy many of?

    Any modifications I would feel like making would likely be muddled together myself. I don’t know if I would want to get a packed of tiny little mods for various 6mm things.

    You all remember the  The Nielson Force Fence?
    Well the guys that I get the acrylic from sent me these in the post, to see what I think.
    What do you think, interested in different colour versions?

    no idea if there is a market for these things other than me, but 6mm scenic  and building conversion packs are available (brigade &GZG) so why not vehicles, not all of us are competent enough modellers to make stowage, spare tyres, dozer blades etc at this scale

    I will have a ponder and weight up the costs and what not.

    In the mean time, any interest in Jurapeds wired up with explosives as remote controlled bombs?

    I’ve probably told you this before, but these feel like they could fit into the Hammer’s Slammers universe.

    I am working on a Junker bar.
    It has a still on the side for making some lethal concoction from deema seeds and a nice little seating area on the front that is not just a big pool of mud.

    Ha ha, just one.

    I have run out now, except I have a set of keys put aside so I can cast them up in resin and never ever run out.
