Regular readers/fans/victims of my past comments will have noted I often pit out a dearth of items that fill the "Huey" position in SF terms – airborne gun platforms that also carry troops.

Shapeways prices are crazy…….needing 6-12 models for a unit…….even a token pair or three leaves a big hole in the defence budget!!

I use these….

One of my tasks from GZG is to do some 6mm Vehicles, initially scales of the new 15mm vehicles but he may want some others doing' possibly VTOLs. Won't be for some time as my to do list is fairly long.

The LVT is about five inches overall. in 6mm it would be a beast!

My old GZG now Daemonscape Heavy Dropship, a Bandia Gundum I add detail to and a 6mm GW Epic Land Raider IFV. And the aft ends of a couple old GZG/Daemoscape D/Ships … Just for some context … evil grin

Well, I put my money where my mouth was, and financed a Kickstarter for this idea, and it turned out very well – A quad rotor "Chinook" style airlifter. Now available to the public –
