Thanks for the kind words guys! A little update on my behalf then. I'm currently primarily focussing on the more 'standard' set-up regarding turrets. So your basic Imperial Army APC and its variants rather than its derivatives (support tanks, etc): Attachment: Attachment: The multiple laser cannon is probably the most standard version. Turret still needs some work. The barrel itself is as good as ready. Attachment: Armed with a sort of conquest cannon this is an ancient variant of the APC and a nod to nostalgia. Will probably also make a variant with quad-autocannons (short ranged ones I'd guess) and one with multiple missiles, for nostalgia's sake. Attachment: The twin-linked HMG is a more standard variant for the APC, the guns still need some work, as does the turret. Next up would be the autocannon turret and maybe a flame thrower turret (but not as intense as a heavy flame weapons of my previous versions). The hull mounted HMG is (at the moment) removable, might keep it as such to allow players to mount a flame thrower in there as well... |

Splendid models, the removable hull weapon is a good idea as it will allow new weapon fits in the future. |

Thanks! Regarding the weapon, that's indeed the idea. Attachment: In the meantime, a random experiment: a new hull type. This isn't for an APC, not sure yet if it will be a battle tank hull or more of a 'siege platform', basically an armoured hull to mount big weapons on top of. Think of anti-aircraft missiles, siege mortars, laser destroyers, demolisher cannons, etc. |

Can we have a side view please. |

Sure thing! The hull is still a veeeeeeeeeeery early WIP. Still in doubt whether the weapon should be mounted on its 'back' (on top) or protruding from the front of the hull.

Ah thanks looks ok will be interesting to see what you do with it. |

Human model represent a 6mm infantry unit. The current dimensions of the tank (without dozer blades) are: 21.86mm wide x 36.29mm long x 15mm tall. The dozer blade would add another 6.13mm to the length.

Ok, so I started working on the hull mounted Heavy Flamer: Attachment: And it left me wondering, why don't I also do a Heavy Flamer turret? Attachment: After that it's the Autocannon turret and then I'd consider this kit to be ready. Next up would be the siege tank. If the design will have a turret system on its back, it will be compatible to this APC's turret system. Another thing I've been pondering about is making some sort of platform/bunker like structure on which you could mount the turrets, would be a cute little terrain piece. |

Yes indeed always like the idea of a little bunker for such turrets. |

Little emplacements are next, I'm kind of delving into possible sources of inspiration. I'm not sure if I should stick to an emplacement for the turret or actually design a bunker which could mount such a turret, or maybe even both. Another thing I'd like to try is to design something along the lines of a 'vehicles upgrade sprue', well not an actual sprue, but just a few bits of that sprue. In other words stuff like a Hunter Killer missile(s), search lights, smoke launchers, and maybe even some pintle mounted weapons and extra armour. In the meantime, I believe the APC is as good as ready. All it needs is a printability check before it's ready to be shipped off. (well, still need to put the parts on a sprue) Attachment: First off: I've finally finished the autocannon, please let me know what you think of it. Attachment: Because of the autocannon's size, I noticed that the Conqueror Cannon needed a bit of beefing up. Attachment: Attachment: And finally the HMG's and their turret have been tweaked slightly. |
