Shipping Matters!

Like those!

Dig it!

Very nice!

AB Nice! I can see a use for those in my collection. So what does the 'lander' look like that carries those ;-)

Yes, show us the lander. Also any chance of an radar or radio antenna?

Fantastic – would make a nice make-shift habitation unit, comms centre or medical aid post for pathfinder forces with the requisite paint-job….. keep this stuff coming Michael, you're really cooking on gas now!

Yes they stack quite nicely and a little set of steps going to the higher level ones does look cool, apparently…

Sweet!

Nice!

not sure how those doors open. They would lose storage to swing in. And swinging out would make an obstacle for loading. I think I would redesign without the vertical line and fold them out like a ramp.

They swing out like the ones we have today on articulated motorised arms so they fold back flat.
Or they are nano doors like in the film Doom.
Or they are removed by loaders like in Aliens.
Or whatever else you want, it is just pretend.

Thing to bare in mind is that it is just a representation of a cargo container, not a scale model of an actual one.

Just as guns on figures have no hollow barrel, so how would they actually fire anything?
They are just meant to represent a gun.
Just as people use trees that are far too small or hills made from coloured felt.
Or as cavalry figures that have no reigns, some things are still left up to the imagination.

:)

Very Nice !!

ok, sure, but the point is to keep from dispelling the willful suspension of disbelief. Though I seem to be in the minority, the doors triggered my reality filter, and tossed me out of the "zone". Not that they aren't nice.. they are..

Fair enough.
I was a bit over defensive to be sure, so sorry for getting the hump.

But my aim is to make recognisable things more than 'realistic' things.
That has always been my aim, as long as people can see what it is meant to be then my job is done.
A bit like with my new sci-fi troopers:

They are pumped up over muscled meat heads with guns that are way too big to be sensible.
But they are meant to be larger than life.

Not everyone will like everything, I just struggle to understand when people say things like 'those guns are not realistic' but in the same breath will fully accept teleporters and anti-grav tanks as being 'real'.

Not that this is a comment on your views, just an observation about sci-fi in general.

Hope that you get my drift and see what I am rambling about.

Michael.

Imagination! WHOA boy! Whats that?

:) heh…I think they look great, Angel…and those troopers look ACE!

Here are a few stacked up ready for transporting.

I will also be making available a set of steps and walkways that will fit around these incase anyone wants to use them as sort of dwelling complex.

The only downside is that flak worms like to hide in the gaps, but then so do junkers so who can blaim them…

Very ST:TMP!

The v'ger bit?

They look even better stacked. I really like what you are doing with the range, keep it up.

Now we're talking…. how about a half sized one as well, (one 'cell' ) as it were…. can't wait to see the stairs/walkways…..

Michael,

have you decided on your next infantry release? Received mine last tuesay so quite an impressive turn around for Montreal Canada. Thanks for the great service. Models are gret and will be used as my corporate mercenary the Kobol Guard Brigade (KGB)the enforcement and security unit of the Kobolian Terraforming Company.

Looking forward to add reinforcement,sure would like the mortar team, and those containers will be usefull.

Gerard Goyette (Templar on Taccom)

I have.

The sculptor has been given his instructions.
4 more sculpts.

This will however result in 2 more packs which will bring the total to 3 packs.

ooooooh exciting.
No mortar team though…

Not going to make a Kobolian Finance Company are you?

:P

Looking forward to those new sculpts. Can you give us hint of what they are. And no, there will not be a KFC but maybe a company tht will serve as meal tothe colonist those little 2 legged beasts that the colonist are herding :).

Templar

Flame thrower trooper
Minigun trooper
Support trooper (medic/sapper/engineer type)
Female trooper with rifle

Like the containers.. nifty.
Any ideas on prices/pack sizes for them?

3 for a fiver.
I made a mould over the weekend but did not let it cure properly and it is wrecked.

:(

So I have ordered some more silicone and that will be here tomorrow so I should have a few sets ready for the weekend…

More ready! Good job its pay day weekend coming up :-)

Thanks for the info on the new sculpt, any ETA, because KTC's KGB trooper are fighting a Malcore Beast infestation on KTC-2P5

Gérard

Hiya gergoy1951.
No idea yet, sorry.

Though the RDF's chainsaw bayonets will be handy against those Malcore Beasts if they get too close.

I will update when I know more.

It will of course be on my blog too:

Michael,

saw the pictures,looking awsome, looking forward to see them on your website.

As a side note, those containers would look quite good suspended under a Space 1999 Eagle type dropship (hint mode off).
