Shadow Miniatures launched a Kiki campaign to fund 3D sci-fi vehicles plans. The starting scale is 28-32mm but they can easily be printed on a smaller scale if necessary.

Duncan is a very talented artist, but there are so many free GW Imperial Guard-inspired .STL files available (some of which are nearly identical to the original models), it's difficult for me to shell out for these designs. |

Apart from those rather nice "striders" there's not a lot of unique items here really at all. |

How come no one in the grim darkness of the far future can weld? |

The exaggerated proportions and giant rivets make a lot more sense if you consider that these are aimed towards the 6mm Epic proxy market. |
| KJdidit | 18 Mar 2018 11:05 p.m. PST |
Scale: The default scale of my files is 32mm / 28mm Heroic, but Being 3D Files they can be scaled up or down. Not sure if those rivets will print well at 20% of the original file size without some tweaking. |

A bit blocky looking but better than some of the 3d printed stuff I have seen. They are not bad but think I'd be more interested if there were some more original designs in there. |

Some familiar designs there. But no skulls, ergo no IP infringement. Am I right? |

He's going for the 40K market so is stuck with ugly tank designs more steam-punk than SF. A nice companion line of actual SF vehicles would be a nice addition particularly if I could print them out in 20MM (the eccentric scale I use for SF). Thomas J. Thomas

Hmmm ? They do look somewhat familiar … |

Some familiar designs there. But no skulls, ergo no IP infringement. Absolutely. Though even if they had skulls, it's hard to argue that it is because theoretically these vehicles can be used for any sci-fi game. It's impossible to claim an aesthetic or a style as your own. Never mind the overkill on the rivet count. Most of the tanks' cabins are either too long (jutting way out) or too short (retracted) between their track units, making them look very awkward. The only one I don't mind having is the 6-rad used as the Taurox, so I'll pass. But looks like the KS already exceeded its goal by 2,300% so it doesn't need my help. |

No one in the future has decent anti-tank weapons then? All those big flat vertical surfaces to aim at. |

This finished Kickstarter have nice ones…

Not much better. That's a ridiculous jumble of styles. And still too much like GW Epic. |

Just the thing for the TED to field as the RCS Intrepid grav tanks drop out of orbit at mach 6. |

Would a bit of originality hurt? Talented, yes. An once of originality, afraid not. :( |
now paints and bases the model.
