Ready to mold. That's a quarter it's resting on.

I don't suppose you own a Savannah Master to compare it to, do you?

The shape looks great.

Considering you can put a quarter in the middle of a hex base. Then you can fit 2 on a base. Looks good and you you managed to get more detail than I thought might be possible at that size. Great work!

That Tracked APC is exactly what I was hoping for.

Thank you so much, Behrle. O0

Sure, 21mm long is the dimension I'm starting with.  The wheeled APC was definitely inspired by the one in Aliens.  The other two idano, I'll generate some orthos and let you see what I have in mind ASAP.

The closer to the M577 APC from Aliens, the more of my money you guys will take.

Incoming fire has the right of way.

The only thing more accurate than incoming enemy fire is incoming friendly fire.

Always remember that your weapon was built by the lowest bidder.

I'm eliminating the notch in the back of the hull at the skirt mainly due to the fact that it will be a tear out point in the molds.  It won't affect the overall look too much.

Beautiful!  Can't wait to get these in metal.  (It's difficult to tell for sure, but I think there's two MGs in the hover's turret, right?)

Thanks!  Yep two MG's in the turret. Also just for kicks I added a thin strip of material to the bottom of the Hover to give it a "hovering" effect.

Feenix, I feel some orders heading your way when these come up ;)

* The Housebook series is from the 80's and is the foundation of Btech, the 80's heart wrapped in heavy metal that beats to this day - Sigma
* To sum it up: FASAnomics: By Cthulhu, for Cthulhu - Moonsword
* Because Battletech is a conspiracy by Habsburg & Bourbon pretenders - MadCapellan
* The Hellbringer is cool, either way. It's not cool because it's bad, it's cool because it's bad with balls - Nightsky
* It was a glorious time for people who felt that we didn't have enough Marauder variants - HABeas2, re "Empires Aflame"

No problems, happy to be of service (as always). I am sure we should be able to get a decent sized order together with Fletch, especially if they get released at roughly the same time as the primitive Rifleman.

I have to say that these look much cooler than I expected. I help fund it because that we did not have them, but now seeing them I may have to get a bunch of them.
