Kansas City players, or people who are just passing through the area, come join us at the Geekery just off Shawnee Mission Parkway for BattleTech!  Current days are Tuesdays in the afternoon and evening.  I can't make every single week, but odds are pretty good that somebody will be there.

$50.

I'll be in Gen Con next week.  Will do my best to stay current on this thread but there may be a slight delay if this thing funds during the con.

I will only be charging $500.00 for this one since I will be working with an existing Mech master pattern, not starting from scratch.  You can go ahead and send your pledges to my Paypal account now if you like.  PM me if you don't already have my PP info.

Changes will include:

New head/new lower arms/hands/sword/new left shoulder pad & elbow shield/new knee armor/new torso guns.  Torso/codpiece armor design is different.  Thigh portion of the leg is now rounded.  Move the shoulder sockets out, because the arms collide with the legs (especially the left arm).

Anything else?

Could you maybe possibly do something about the fact that the existing mini's lower legs are massively out of scale with the rest of the mini, and the existing art?  Turning those oversized kneepads into the rounded versions shown in the Red Reaper art might help, but that doesn't address the fact that the lower leg is thicker than the thigh.  They need to be scaled down but maybe 20%.

To B3. He's doing the sculpting and is coordinating payments. If you need his information you should send him a private message on this board to get it, he'll include all the needed information, unless he's already sent you that information based on your last post.

I received Invalid Effort's payment of $30.00, so this guy is fully Fundicated! O0  Still working on it though, I guess having it done by the end of the was overly optimistic.  :P  Next week fo sho tho! :D

Don't sweat it.

It's pretty clear that the major bottlenecks lie in mold making and release cycle*, not in sculpting. You, sir, are a machine.  :D


* - I don't mean that as a criticism of IWM. I know managing releases is tricky, and you guys are giving us all kinds of cool stuff.

The hour when earth's foundations fled,         They stood, and earth's foundations stay;
Followed their mercenary calling,               What God abandoned, these defended,
And took their wages, and are dead.             And saved the sum of things for pay.

Kansas City players, or people who are just passing through the area, come join us at the Geekery just off Shawnee Mission Parkway for BattleTech!  Current days are Tuesdays in the afternoon and evening.  I can't make every single week, but odds are pretty good that somebody will be there.

OK, per the QCC, got the heed shaved doon a bit, changed the neck piece, attached the feet to the shins and thighs to shins, added a hand guard on the Left hand and filed the hips down to get the legs closer to the pelvis. Number of pieces 6.

Can we see the updated version?  I'm glad to hear you brought the hips in.  The legs are the worst part of the original design.

Now that the first six have been funded, when can we expect to see a new poll for the next six?

:o What!!!

I don't see why they wouldn't renew.

I wouldn't get too worked up over the licensing statement. It's probably a pretty common occurrence that happens every few years, but we don't ever hear about it. Heck, I'm working on renewing a TON of license agreements at my job right now, both licenses with vendors whose stuff we use and clients who license our stuff. It doesn't mean any of them are at much risk for not being renewed.

Anyway, back on-topic: It always bugged me that a mech named the Black Knight had neither a sword nor a shield. I'm glad to see that has been rectified in such a beautiful fashion! I also think the one-piece legs look great. With that slightly-bent-knee look, I've been plenty happy with the posability I can get from just a hip joint, but that is just me.

Yeah it's prolly nothing, it happens every coupla years I think.  The knees are slightly bent and one foot is completely flexed and one is completely extended, which will add to poseability.

Yep, the legs are interchangeable, though you will need to shave the original ball joints down to get them closer to the hips.

If you can get your hands on one, there's always the Highlander Claymore mini, or if you can acquire the proper MFUK Weapons Pack, one of the 2 has the bits needed to convert a Highlander into the Claymore variant.  Those Weapons Packs are a LOT easier to find than a Production Claymore mini!   :o

So in 3151, the resurgent FWL decide to resurrect the Knights of the Inner Sphere but to avoid confusion with the RoTS Knights of the Sphere, the resurrected unit is called "the 1st Knights of Ekke Ekke Ekke Ekke Ptang Zoo Boing" which can then lead to your scene with the Black Knight BL-X-KNT defending a bridge . . .  :D

Ordered one, but will take some time for it to arrive at my German retailer and then some more time, for all the minis in the order to arrive. So probably not anytime soon :(
Would also be very interested in pictures.

If you'll pardon the crappy photography, you can see one assembled and painted on the left in this picture I took at GenCon. I got about the worst angle possible, as the sword all but disappeared, but in my opinion, the sword looked good:

i don't have access to it at the moment, but i assembled a red reaper a couple weeks ago. the only nitpick i had about it was that this particular model was a case where i would have liked three piece legs (foot / lower leg / upper leg) for greater posability. this particular instance felt like it called for the ability to for a bit more dramatic / dynamic posing.
