The one I used is only 3mm larger in diameter (1.5mm on each side) than what the design called for. The one in the design would interfere as well though not as much. If this was a real machine the gun would automatically deviate to avoid the radome as it traversed to the rear.

I think too much. :D

Or the arms would flip down and under rather than up and over. ;)

Yeah that! O0

I think those hip bits should be flipped upside down and be flush with the front of the pelvis.

Looking good so far!

Looking good Behrle O0

Did you machine the brass rod for the arm-mounted ACs yourself? Or are they a standard brass piece that would-be kitbashers may be able to procure ^-^

Thats a one off turning I did for this piece. I will probably mold it seperately and cast it in pewter for future projects.

Feenix74 · « **Reply #187 on:** 17 April 2015, 02:19:23 »

As an engineer, I think your plan to mold the AC barrels separately for the primitive Rifleman casting is probably the best engineering solution to the vexing issue of how owners of the pewter minis can replace AC barrels that may get damaged in-transit when they are moving minis from game to game.

This would mean that IWM would have to make AC barrels available through the IWM webstore scrapyard, so that owners of the primitive Rifleman minis can pre-purchase additional barrels as attrition spares in case the barrels get damaged in-transit. In fact, I will probably just have to buy a couple of attrition spares as part of my primitive Rifleman purchase ^-^

You think the medium lasers should be recessed instead of small hemispheres on the surface?

MY impression from the XTRO art is that the medium lasers stick up a little bit in their recessed boxes. WHY have them in a recessed housing, then stick out, I've NO idea. :D That's just how they look TO ME.

Since I'm NO artist, the best I can think of for a visual is: An empty 2Lb box of velveeta cheese (representing the "Housing"), with a jar of Kraft Pimento Spread standing up in it (representing the medium laser), but NOT sticking up above the sides of the box. Does that make any sense? ??? To ME, they seem to project out from their BASE, but NOT outside of their housing.

I think she looks great, I do agree that the radar may need to be shifted.

B-3,

First let me say, I wish I had half your talent. Having said that, please review the attached amended ortho which depicts what I think is a more accurate interpretation of those hip doohickeys.

I think they are shielding for the hip servos and hydraulics.

I think you nailed it on your front ortho, but on the side view somehow they got skewed.

I hope that helps.

Considering that we are about half-way..... it would likely be in the 3rd quarter.

Fast turnaround time B-3! It impresses me how fast you can churn a prototype out at such high quality! Keep it up! O0

B-3 · « **Reply #199 on:** 20 April 2015, 14:56:29 »

That's the plan, as long as my eyesight and sanity hold out. Well, eyesight at least the other is a lost cause... :D

By the Dice Gods it is so adorable.
Yeah I'm buying some when I get the chance.

Definitely grabbing a couple when it comes out. Nice work!

Welp.
Weeelp.

I was slating my plate for one of these.
I think I might have to try to swing another one or two.

It is primitive and thus bulky!
