Dreamforge has just launched a kickstarter for a Grav Stug tank - link

$49 for one. They're shipping direct from Hong Kong, so expect to be hit with import duties. p&p estimates are at the bottom of the page, but look to average around $6 for a single model.

There are a number of barrel options (not so keen on the short version, but some of the longer ones look promising)

Just launched today, runs until April 17, with delivery August, September time (seems the more you want the longer you wait ;D)

I am seriously tempted.

The thing stopping me is that once you add in VAT, and the fee the post office charges for collecting the VAT, there won't be any change from £70 :(

It's got a few weeks to run, so we'll see...

Some new pictures posted up on the DreamForge blog - http://dreamforge-games.blogspot.com/2019/04/grav-stug-kickstarter-61-funded-new-3d.html

Still not funded, which is slightly worrying...

This is in its last 40 hours and still £11,000 short of the target.

The creator thinks it'll make it, so if anyone wants one, now's the time to back it.

The latest sweetener is for a raffle to win one painted by dwartist - http://dwartist.blogspot.com/2019/04/dreamforge-games-grav-stug-kickstarter.html

Still on the fence on this one as well, its an amazing design, but with shipping and VAT added it becomes less than ideally priced. I could print it myself on my resin printer, but the machine time + resin wouldn't make it cheap either. And I don't really play 28mm sci-fi...

So it didn't fund, but if at first you don't succeed, relaunch immediately, cutting the price of the kits.

It's down to $34 (from $49) for a single kit, with bigger savings the more you buy. The price is still way above the import limit, so the rest of the issues remain, but that would just about pay for the post office handling fee (though not the p&p, import duty or VAT on all of the above)

The new one is running until 5th May, so plenty of time to back, or re-back
