Cheers Alf O'Mega – that's a great visualisation. The smaller one on the left looks much better to me.[/quote]
I reckon so too, the left one looks good, the one of the right looks oversized IMO.

I have to agree, having seen them side by side the smaller one looks nicer despite my initial reaction.

I sincerely hope this doesn't screw up Deacon's day...

Whatever the decision, I think they both look fine. Just waiting for the Grud beast myself . Likely to want at least 2 of each version (if the giant and one eyed versions will be joining the transport version?). Along with giant tunnellers and Land Locomotives if they are in the pipeline

Smaller of the two for me I think.

Well, though I wont buy these since this particular genre of sci-fi aesthetic does not appeal to me (though you have done a swell job designing them!), I must say I strongly suggest the reasonable 30mm variant on the grounds of the scale precedent for nice looking limos that you might design at a later stage that I definitely WILL buy.

+1 for 30mm.

Not saying i wouldn't buy the 40mm, but i would wait to see it in the metal first.

I imagine its a significant reduction in volume/production cost too - presumably giving scope for lower unit cost and/or higher margin. Have you got a per unit cost in mind Deacon?

I'm guessing the savings would take some time to recoup the cost of matter printing it twice?

(+2 for 30mm, the picture makes it even clearer)

Matter prints are the cheap bit. :-)

Cool, I misremembered Definetly gogo 30mm then.

How did you make those chewy sweets? They look great! Coat 'em in sugar and you'll have a mass-market product!

That's good news about prints being the cheap bit - I had a horrible feeling we might be about to ruin Deacon's day.

Out of interest E&C how would a 40mm transport sit alongside say, your black prince tanks?

Black Prince has a hull length of 37mm, width (including sponsons) of 25mm, height (not including turret) 12mm.

IMO ... being a M113 former Mech Grunt ... the middle model is a better size ... the GW plastic Rhino really is too small ... in reality you'd be hard pressed to get more than 5 SMs in there ... Just FYI in case you didn't know the Rhino looks a lot like an M113 or UK FV 432 ...
