[RAMSHACKLE GAMES] Battle Dog Kickstarter
« on: May 15, 2014, 10:55:00 AM »
I have just launched a new Kickstarter campaign for a new resin battle tank kit. The model is called the Battle Dog, or the kit can be had as a mobile artillery version named the Püg (as in Stüg ;))

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/179741323/battle-dog-and-pug

The kit ships with 5 main weapon options and some a selection of secondary armaments.















Here are the guns:



The Püg is the same kit, but without the turret. It has the hatch bit instead, which opens the same as the hatch on the turret.







Both kits come with two crew for the top hatch, a commander and a pintle gunner. They have separate heads, so the middle image shows them with another head from the Ramshackle Games range.




If I get enough interest I will do some sponsons and extra armour. I put these in as stretch goals.

I quite like the Pug in particular. 

The WWII in space thing doesnt usually do much for me, but with the big plasma weapon I think that I can find a home for that.  I blame World of Tanks ;)

I must say there is something about your tanks, something in their lines that I prefer over their counterparts I shall not name.

a smaller turret option would be interesting, looks just a tad too big at the moment for me, chassis is useful regardless  :)

actually, it's not the size of the turret I think after all, more it's sitting up to high from the body, easily fixable.

For some reason I look at the SPG and think "Quar"  :)

This. The size and height of the turret looks off. The Püg is bags of awesome though

Really like the tank, but I'm with the others that say the turret sits to high over the body. Is there an intermediate piece that could be left off to make it flush with the body?

It has that feel but it is raised from the tank deck and quite large. I suspect that I might not mind it being large but the additional space between the turret and deck looks odd to my eyes.

Yes and I will make a piece that is lower, so the turret fits better on the body.


Also both kits come with all the main guns, so the long barrel is pretty long.
