lol lol lol lol lol

Looks good, why is it that death rays are always in a fixed mount, anyway? How the hell are you supposed to go forth and conquer if you super weapon can only be trained on one area?

Post by: answer_is_42 on September 09, 2009, 09:56:00 AM: Wonderful. I can see it now; bouncing across the lunar surface, vaporising assorted Selenites, Soviets, Nazis, Confederates, Pirates, and all the other inhabitants of the moon...

Post by: Tacgnol on September 09, 2009, 03:30:33 PM: I could easily imagine this trundling along in support of some Scrunts/Squats/Grymn. Very Space Dwarfy, I really want one!

Post by: fastolfrus on September 09, 2009, 07:58:44 PM: Wonder if it would work as a quad mount (like a four barrel flak)
Title: Re: Death Ray Buggy
Post by: former user on September 09, 2009, 08:34:42 PM: what are the wheels made of actually?
sorry, was too quick
just saw they are from your land train waggon
why not try the ones from the wheeled tank?
would give you some "production continuity"
Title: Re: Death Ray Buggy
Post by: Tri3 on September 09, 2009, 10:01:50 PM: Any chance on making a smaller version to go with 15mm figures. Looks good though.

Sorry, I'm bound to 28mm ;)

Post by: Sinewgrab on September 10, 2009, 07:08:58 PM: I think I would agree with former user - I would rather the other type of wheels, personally. These just don't look right to me.

I absolutely love the gun, though...maybe sell that separately?

Yes, it would work well for Grymn. The only thing I might change in that context would be to to put a more "realistic" near-future gun on it.

Looking good though!

Post by: Tobsen77 on September 13, 2009, 02:39:57 PM: Hi... I made a new wheel... quite satisfied with it. I think about three wheels on each side:

Title: Re: Death Ray Buggy
Post by: former user on September 13, 2009, 03:15:21 PM: wheel looks good

these plastic sprues are really useful
three wheels sounds good - but then you'll have to slide the front axle abit more to the front
it would allow the vehicle more cross country ground clearance

all wheels the same size?

small suggestion: since you are making new wheels anyway, want to try a bit narrower?
might look more natural
Title: Re: Death Ray Buggy
Post by: Tobsen77 on September 26, 2009, 08:54:47 PM: Another update after a little while... the buggy will have an alternate gun. Four wheels are my actual favorite, maybe I'll do a tracked version later. Some detail missing on the sides but apart from that I'm pretty happy with it... pew pew ;)

Next alternate gun will be a banana launcher then lol

Post by: Hitman on September 26, 2009, 10:12:47 PM: WOW!! Each and every one of those vehicles looks awesome. You could make a whole fleet of them with such minor variations. Great job!! Thanks for sharing.

A.S.A.P. ... maybe I'll finish it today, then make moulds this week... Thanks for your comments!
Title: Re: Death Ray Buggy
Post by: Tobsen77 on October 05, 2009, 02:52:47 PM: UPDATE: Moulds and first casts are fine, I'll now paint the first bugger, err buggy... any suggestions on the color scheme? I don't want to go all pulp-moon-buggy-silver... Tobi
Title: Re: Death Ray Buggy
Post by: JollyBob on October 05, 2009, 03:08:40 PM: Should I get round to purchasing one, I would paint it red and white to compliment my highly evolved space simian's uniforms. :)
