I'd also like to see Titan weapons - it's a project I think of doing weekly but never get round to, and it would be better done with this kind of technology anyway. You could design a couple of universal gun mounts - one for old style Titans (beetleback, reaver) and one for the current SG Warlord. Then design a variety of guns to fit them.

This is a great idea, especially for some of those weapons which you don't really see anymore aside from the occasional overpriced fleaBay auction.  If you could cast them with a depression that would fit a small magnet (6mm x 1mm, perhaps), then it would be easy to glue in a magnet and have swappable weapons.

Along those lines, turret variants for the various Chimera types (Chimerax, Chimerro, Nacho Cheese Chimera, etc.) might be nice.

If that Gorm ship has any resemblance to some old FASA models I'd be interested as well... Also, if it does, we need to talk. ;)

Heya Dave,

Sorry, but I meant Gorm, not Gorn. I don't know why that knucklehead David Weber chose such a similar name.

And you know what? Talking about stuff is easier than doing it. I've got a big, fat mouth.

Here's a Dresdner Frauenkirche window. I figure that extra detail, like a half pillar on either side, can be easily added with styrene parts. Brick patterns can be filed onto a resin copy.

It's 45mm tall, which means the real church windows are a whopping 13.5 meters.

I think the titan weapons is a cool idea as well, not only for the imperial stuff that's hard to find, like psi titan parts and devotional bells, but chaos titan weapons and heads.

Maybe duplicates to Current weapons but on the other side?
So warlord's Volcano cannon but on its right? Would help ATML maybe.
Would be difficult though

I should make the area between the top and bottom windows larger, and put an indentation in.

That way, I can saw resin copies in half if I just need the rounded window, or the square window. Plus, indentations are neat.

Well, I can scratch one of those items off the list. But I'm not telling.

Todd Boyce's magic printing machine has a very-high resolution mode. I'm thinking of making a crude 6mm infantry figure to test the concept.

Any suggestions? That are NOT Necrons (covered elsewhere) or Tyranids (too fiddly)? Maybe a basic Sister?

What about Nec-- oh... uh, well, how about Tyr-- um... hmmm.  I already have a sister, and one is really quite enough, thanks, so... hmmm.

Maybe a Tau Titan?  Don't think Forgeworld has one of them out yet, and it wouldn't be as fiddly as making itty-bitty Bugs.  Plus, the Anime Fighting Seizure Robots concept lends itself well to 3D prototyping;  lots of straight lines and crisp details.

Edit:  Oh, wait, you mean a suggestion for a 6mm figure, don't you?  Okay, now I'm on board.  How about an Inquisitor?  I know most folks would probably just use a Commissar fig off the IG sprue, but maybe that would give you enough detail to test the machine with.  Otherwise, a Nuns with Guns fig would probably be a good choice.

Some stuff I would like to see:
-Imperial Guard: Death Korps of Krieg, Drop Troopers, new Ogryns, human snipers, Imperial dropship, Frateris Templars (how would you have done them?), more special characters and such,.
-Chaos: Traitor Guard, tanks, defilers, flyers, etc, more updated versions of daemon engines, new greater daemons.
-Eldar: new warwalkers, wraithlords, wraithguard, avatar, Shining Spears, Phoenix Lords.
-Dark Eldar: whole range.
-Tau: Vespids, human troopers, Shadowsun
-Tyranids: Genestealer cults (would be very much like IG but with claws and such)

Urgle! Gasp! Argh!.. you mean I may have waisted three weeks for... nothing... great, thanks O'man.  :_(

Seriously though. If you do and I think you should, you had better be prepared to make a bundle of dosh from my credit card. Provided you are selling, of course.  :;):

Hm. Sounds like more people than just the Otterman need to learn to use MoI. It's a pretty easy modeller. The first 30 days are free, try it!

It would just be a proof of concept, with no guarantee of success. Don't shed any tears yet.
