Hi folks. Sorry for not following this thread. I have been busy coercing people in to voting for the grant competition. I got the 250, although I have to take a group of teenage girls to a Korean Pop concert. They have a pretty good network of face book friends and will move mountains to see these bands when they travel to the US.
I would actually like to make a multi use vehicle kit in 28mm. The way I figure is this. The small machine will require multiple molds to make all the parts. I could re-use several of the molds and make parts that are universal for several vehicles. Tracks and chassis stuff. Then I could make a unique sprue to create different weapon build outs and stuff.
The problem is I am still going at this part time and alone. Not enough money to pay someone at this time. I made over 10,000 sprues in the month of October. It makes for some long days, let me tell you. Designing and making molds takes a lot of time. I love that part of the process but simply do not have time to make new stuff.
I have been working with 4 guys to develop new products. one guy designed the road blocks, another created a set of terrain for use in hero clix. These should be out next week. And one fellow has made an infantry sprue. We are working out the details of what weapons to put in it. Kind of a generic bad guy figure.
The 4th guy was tasked with creating the vehicle, but he seems to have lost interest. If I could find time I would tackle it, but you have to know your limits. Running parts, working a job, and trying to keep up with the daily chores leaves little time to design stuff.
Plus, when I do get time, I keep plugging away on my female sci-fi troopers.
Anyhow- sorry for the long response. To sum up- I would love to make a vehicle. When I get some time I will tackle it for sure. If I can find someone interested in designing for a royalty it will happen a lot faster.
