Re: [GZG] [OFFICIAL] More news on 15mm..... :-)



>Seriously, the main reason I haven't (yet) done 15mm versions of the
25s is that the style and methods of building the masters are very
different for metal 15s than resin 25s, ....

Maybe a silly question, but why not do the 25mm resin as 15mm resin. Why do they need to go to metal?


Because resin production is slow, labour-intensive and a general pain in the a*** compared with metal!
It's OK if you're set up to do almost everything in resin, as some other small manufacturers are, but as 95% of what we produce now is metal I decided not to go the resin route with the new 15s.
You can also do lots of cool stuff in metal that really wouldn't be practical in resin!

PS: Coming very soon in 15mm metals....

"Wombat II" hover APC
Heavy Gunsled (grav battle tank)
Assault Sled (grav APC)
Light Gunsled (grav recon tank/light weapons platform)
"OcTank" HABAT (Heavy Ambulatory BAttle Tank) - 8 legged walker MBT....!

Then I start work on the wheeled ones....  ;-)



the only thing I will say is that they may not be EXACT downscaled copies - I
may do "updated versions", eg a Paladin II and Phalanx II......  :-)

I expect that would be wise. It will give you room to have adjustments etc that make sense for the mini. I know a few others who have done the same. The overall basic look is there, but small details are different enough that it is not a copy.


Either way, I am most interested in them. :-)
