Is there gonna be a "big barrel of volatile liquids" hullform to go with some of the variant turrets?

Probably a four-barrel arrangement to match the plastic source material. I haven't forgotten about your big-sloshy-barrel request.

So, hypothetically speaking, how about spruing the many-freemer turret with the microwave-food-cooker turret? Yes, that would simplify the hypothetical supply chain.

If/when a barrel variant is created, the flamer and insecticide turrets would be similarly sprued.

Sorry. There should be a thread around here about removing superglue... or you could acquire more Manchurian hulls (wink).

Yay!

I'd be interested in seeing both, as it might help represent each type.

Big barrel could be flamethrower.
Quad barrel could be noxious chemicals.
Microwave gun could have... some sort of "power flask"??? That's what's usually on other microwave type weapons, from infantry guns up to walking robot cannons.

Personally I'd prefer to see an obviously different hull piece.
Perhaps all 3 variant turrets could go into one mould together, with plug-on back pieces to make the particular configurations you wanted?

So if you want a flame thrower, you plug on the flamer turret and the big barrel. For a chemical warfare tank you plug on the chem turret and the quad barrels, etc?

Well, perhaps I need to re-read the latest source material. Why is the microwave-food-cooker associated with a barrel holding chassis?

Your idea about the modules intrigues me. Perhaps I could re-use the existing convenience chassis (you know, the one used on the Arma and Urn).

Well it's build with the same plastic kit. They're three "light support tanks" all of a similar type.

Sounds clevzors.

Unless you a) put the turret further back or b) cover the existing hatch with the plug in, this seems unlikely.

Current APC turret options include the polyfreem cannon, the massive nutgun, and the giant torch.

Current light support turrets include the really giant torch, the "Chemical burns are good for you" cannon, and the super microcooker gun.

Prototypes received during lunch.

APC turret plugs/holes need embiggening. Will measure EA / E40K plugs for comparison.
Tankette plugin still bothering me. Have resolved to turn into a single piece 1:5 design (chassis+superstructure = 1 piece)
Manchurian hull modules untested, but what can go wrong?

What exactly is a hull module? Pic? Is it plasma related?
