Nice work! I'm still in the waiting for payday camp, glad I'll be helping reach those stretch goals.

Awesome, It met the £2250 goal and than some. I think some human SWAT team minis or battlesuit/armored humans with Gatling guns/assualt cannons for £12 for 80 as stretch goals would boast your goal consider how popular they are in other gaming systems.

This fundraiser is primarily for the humans and hulked-up aliens, their vehicles, and their aircraft.

We'd like to do a follow-on fundraiser for an Armoured Infantry sprue, again in plastic.

Since we're now chasing down the £3500 "Advanced" sprue, I'll be posting views of further stretch goals for the plastic sprue soon.

All three of those vehicle designs look great to me.

Hooray! :spin That's great news – congratulations!

The new sprue layout looks good :)


A comment from the Warseer thread:
Quote:
This is looking very interesting. The human infantry vehicles look good, but seem to be a little on the small side, not by much, but there looks space on the sprue to make them the same size as the alien vehicles, which look to be bang on the right size. There seems to be a significant shortage of "human infantry vehicles" nowadays..


You noted that the infantry might have to be bulked up for casting anyway – any thoughts?

Looking forward with baited breath for the further stretch goals.

I could increase the size of the Human IFV, if that's what's wanted, no problem.
It's currently 2.3cm long. How big do we want it?

Wouldn't hurt if the vehicle was to be embiggened a mm or so, unless anyone else feel very strongly otherwise, but it looks fine to me as-is. That said, the turret might look better a smidge larger, now I look at it.

If you're doing an update anyway, and you're bulking the infantry up, it'd make sense to combine the changes.

Coo, £325 in five hours since the slaves went up – looks like people are pretty keen on the metals :)

It could do with more width to the passenger compartment and turret i think and maybe a small increase to the hull length to keep its appearance right.

Since feedback on the metal stretch designs is pretty positive so far, we've now got a choice:

#1 - Unlock the Lancastrian, Churchillian, and Black Prince now.
#2 - Unlock them only after we pass £3500

#1 would mean we'd have to push back the Advanced Sprue goal from £3500 to £4000
#2 means we can keep the lower stretch goal target, but paradoxically it *might* take longer to actually reach the target due to less breadth of model choices for everybody.

Thoughts and opinions gents?
