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

While everyone is making requests...

Could you make a Wombat flat-bed varient? Maybe with a MRL launcher? See, each of my platoons is supposed to have 4 wombats and 1 light artillery vehicle which uses a Wombat chassis. I can hack it but it's prettier when you do it. :)

    vehicles I need.  With the advent of 15mm Wombats that goes right
    out the window.

It's not an exact copy of the 25mm/6mm Wombat, hence the "II" in the designation, but it's the same basic configuration and I think you'll like it.... ;-)

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. :-)

In a related question, are the Heavy Gunsled or Assault Sled designed so they can accomodate your already existing MRL module? That would be wicked cool if you designed that kind of modularity into the whole 15mm line.
