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




I personally was waiting on 15mm AV6's and AV9's. But with the new vehicles looking so good, I may just take the plunge anyway.

Damn, I was avoiding the 15s telling myself you didn't have the vehicles I
need.  With the advent of 15mm Wombats that goes right out the window.

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. :-)
