Cheers and thanks Klat. That takes us to 90% of fundications sent.

Thanks TS, with Kuritan friends like you who needs Wobbies  :D

Update to all - one of the payments seems to have disappeared in The Matrix and I am working with B-3 and the fundicator to track it down. I will advise once this has been resolved. In the meantime I believe that B-3 has already started work on the Highlander sculpt.

Beachhead - I believe we are fully pledged, just waiting on confirmation from B-3 that he has received the final monies that took the scenic route through The Matrix. However, if somebody comes up with another variant arm/leg that needs to be added then you have the first $50 pledged towards it if you want.

Hey...if it can be done...how about the Highlander HGN-Colleen? I know it's a "specific" design, and normally not included in a standard blister, but it's a really good one.

looking at it. Two arms. Just ignoring the tube difference in missile launchers. Otherwise it would be its own sculpt.

Edit, scratch that. One PPC arm.

You'd need an ER PPC Right Arm, and if possible, some sort of add on cover converting the standard sculpts LRM over to dual LRM 15's. All depends on how creative the sculptor can be...I'm sure it could be done.

The final fundication (for the Highander HGN-732 Resculpt plus the LB20-X variant arm) has been received in good order by B-3.

I will PM speck tonight with all the fundicator details for him to issue the IWM webstore credit vouchers, back to the toddler-wrangling for the rest of the day for me.

I assume when people post LB-20X they mean AC-20?

Just to be sure; the variant arm is for the HGN-733C with an AC-20. Not the HGN-734 with the LB-20X, additional SRM6 and ERLL in place of the LRM20. Is this correct?

I know this seems nitpicky but I just want to know what we're getting. In all honesty if the HGN-734 is possible I'd love to make that happen but I'd think it would take a lot more than an extra $100.

I don't think a LB and an AC look any different from the outside, do they? As long as one looks like a big gun, and the other as a gauss. Then a little bit of work with green stuff will make every variant from there. Wouldn't it?

I was thinking that LB ACs were UACs and thus multi barrel. Not that it would be outside of canon for any AC to be multi barrel.

I was just being dumb.

No you weren't. And I am curious as to how different the two arms will look as well. Hopefully we will get an updated orthos to drool over of them both soon.

I too eagerly await new orthos. Now that I realize I jumped the gun on the arm (no pun intended) I'm instead far more interested in what the right torso medium lasers will look like. If they're simple holes I can add a third one to make a royal variant. If not I may need to get a touch more creative. Though to be fair a third laser port is probably one of those things that only a handful of people would care about.

Whatever happens I'm well and truly stoked for this mini.

I'm still trying to figure out where the 694 variant comes from.  Gauss in RA, HGR in the CT/LT, and two LL's in the right torso.  MUL says 3050u but I can't find it in my record sheets...

I'd be down for that. Just let me know. Sorry I missed out on this one.

Honestly, I wouldn't mind having parts to make the 738 variant.

I'm with you but I'd imagine it would be rather expensive. I'd be willing to help fund such an endeavour if it's possible.

I could throw in an extra $30-40. Assuming B-3 is fine with doing more variant parts, of course.

From what I can tell from the record sheet we're looking at different arms, possibly head and torso. Now, it may be possible that add on parts could be used instead of complete components but I'm not in any position to say. I doubt that it's possible at this point but maybe we can still get an estimate. If we can I could put another $150 in. That's assuming that such a thing is even possible.

The medium laser for the head would be easy enough to mod, and the center torso's SRM pack could just be a plate or something, similar to the rocket launcher on the Wasp. There might be some way to make the heavy gauss an attachment as well.

Since funds have already been collected and sent on so that sculpting can begin. The ship most likely already sailed on for more additions to be added. Most require more then a simple extra arm.

I can sculptify anything you want and we can add it to the total.  I need the info/art to generate images for these variant parts and it can happen.
