Black Army Update: Now have a caster for the Euzkadi

[bandit86]

Any word on when this will be out?

Bandit -

I am still awaiting some sign of life from the caster, who has not been returning my emails... However, the mold was supposed to be finished as of this week (actually, earlier, but that's another story.) I plan to have around forty Euzkadis cast in the initial run. Price should be (about) 20 to 25 dollars.

Essentially the new technology they're using to cast these requires filling any internal cavities in the master with resin (or another hard substance), as any cavities could cause the model to -implode- during the casting process. This has added to processing time. The future masters will be solid, so shouldn't have the issue.

UPDATE to the above:

I should have a small number coming in next week (possibly). When I know more I'll post here first.

You can add me into the list for two Euzkadis.

I know I wouldnt mind seeing a few yank tanks to be used in mid war for ACW2.  the M2A2 "Mae West" M2A1, M1 combat car, MK VIII "liberty tank", and US ford 3-ton tank.

Dash -

Hopefully I'll have these things soon. I haven't had much luck raising the caster on the comm...

I'd like to see at least some of those, too. The next vehicle planned after the release of the Erhardt is the Austro-Hungarian Romfell; the next vehicle after that isn't so sure - it may be DaVinci's tank design, it may not. Still working on bits and pieces. There have been several requests for a Garford, which I'm sure could be done, but it would require a lot of work. I'm also going to need to find a 15mm sculptor for vehicles one of these days.

Well I dont think all over the my quited midwar tanks need to be made, becase there are tons of tanks that could work for the liberty tank. and the M2 serues is really easy to do, Just have a an M3 stuart chasie with diffrant turrets would work.
I guess the ford 3-ton would be the only crazy one that no one else has made but they should really easy to make/mold.

I dont know if I would get DaVinci's tank but it should work for VSF, Steam-punk fantsy, and just a crazy game of historicals.

I apologize for my delayed response. Didn't see your message here.

I agree that those are some excellent vehicles. And I've had a look at the Ford 3 Ton. That will definitely go on the list:) I think there'd be a market for it, certainly.

And dont forget it comes in 3 types to a machinegun, light gun, and tow version

Good to know, Moody. Thanks.
