Saw this on Yahoo 6mm Sci-fi Wargame site
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          I have produced a new range of 15mm (1/100th scale) Grav Armored vehicles, and would like to know if there is enough interested to
consider producing them in 6mm as well?

See this link for photos, and more details about our new range:

http://www.topgunmarketing.org/15mm_grav_armor

I will be running a couple of polls to gather info on the level of interest people have in the range, and what you would prefer to see as to the vehicles' surface detailing. Depending upon how they are produced, the side detailing options on the miniatures may or may not be possible, but before I limit them to one or another, I would like to see which people prefer. Sculpting by hand will present some limitations, while using a 3-D sculpting and STL manufacturing process may present others (due to the buildup layering method used to produce them - may be difficult to produce panel lines, or the circular Active Armor Defense System (AADS) © detailing seen on the 15mm models).

Anyway, let me know what you think.

Best regards,

If Jez at Old Crow does not get off his Arse, and make his Drake Approved Slammer AFVs in 6mm ... these could work ...  :laugh:  :)  These could be M3 SHBTs and M10 CBT CARs if they are made in 6mm  ...  :D  FRoA 22 - A wise man can hear profit in the wind.     :alien:

L4: I made a similar observation on the most recent episode of This Week in Wargaming (Ep. AT-4). I totally agree.

I don't like their designs at all, and wouldn't care one way or another about 6mm versions. :disagree:

Well from a tactical perspective ... they are very ballistically sound from a defensive standpoint.

While probably a tactically sound design, it has no visual appeal to me.

My first thought was "Hey! It's the Trepida grav tank from Traveller."

Yeah, except for the turret ring, which is one continuous shot trap...  :p

Yes, that's a problem with many MBTs, save for some of the Russian's. Like the T54, T62, etc.  Of course it's supposed to have ADS, like Slammer AFVs.  :)
