H.I.S.S. tank and G.I. Joes (Vamp added, May 17, 2013)

Thank you, its a very nice bright blue.  I may try to mimic it, because I just have to start a Joe projet, heh.

As I mentioned sometime before I have a new goody for my Cobra forces. I present the S.N.A.K.E. battle armor. I've included a standard Cobra trooper for size comparison.



There's at least one more vehicle in the pipe. I hope to have it painted and ready to show off by next week.

Nice work! I saw that Hiss tank and about had a heart attack when I saw the price! Wow!

[Dr Mathias]

Too cool

Oh.My.God.

This is unbelievably awesome. It's like every 30-something man's wet dream fantasy come to life.

Keep it up, mate. This is brill beyond compare.

[obsidian3d]

Awesome, I never had one of those as a kid!

Haha no, that would involve Phoebe Cates swimming in my pool.

I like that there's a 15mm scale version of that tank on Shapeways, I just wish I could remotely justify ordering a handful of them...

If that's wet dream fantasy for 30 year olds nowadays I'm just glad I already passed 50 - I'd still be happy with Barbarella

I love the SNAKE armor.  I was just about to go order some HISS tanks and make the plunge, but I think ArticSkunk raised his price on the 25mm HISS's.  I can get a LandRaider for $73.  Oh Well.  One less project to worry about.  Will be watching yours with envy.

This project is totally awesome!!

The HISS is still the same price as when I originally released it - $29. Since the release I have had special requests for different sized versions and have added a 15mm HISS and a 'Heroic Scale' HISS for someone building a Cobra themed 40K army. The Heroic Scale HISS is over 1.5 times larger in all dimensions and is much more expensive, at $73. If you search for the models alphabetically all three versions will come up together as versions of the GV06 Sentry Tank.

For those who are annoyed at the Shapeways prices, keep in mind that Mike isn't getting rich off this. Shapeways charges quite a lot for the convenience. It's worth it to me to get models that have never existed before, and probably never will in any other way.

[styx]

But to jump from 25mm to Heroic 28mm is more than double the price? That is a huge price hike. It is weird but on Shapeways some stuff seems to be very reasonable and then other stuff you just go what?

[mpennock]

But to jump from 25mm to Heroic 28mm is more than double the price?

Actually, yes. Shapeways charges based upon the volume of material in the model. When you double the size of an object (x 2), the volume goes up by a factor of eight (2 x height, 2 x length,  2x depth). Making the models hollow helps a lot, but prices go up very quickly when you increase size.
