BTW : Curtis - you really do need to update the front page of your website, as it is still announcing the spider tank as a 'new release'.

I would make an additional suggestion, Curtis: include a page "what's new?".  People like myself (returning customers) are used to look at the different sections to find out the new stuff, but occasional visitors (and wouldbe customers) are likely to miss the new stuff if it is not mentioned seperately.

Yes, its totally going to happen very soon. I was actually just working out a plan for the web site. I need to update the gallery too, especiall now that I have some good images of the oneyard truck with orks, thanks to Rudi!

But yes, update the front page, re-do the "coming soon" section as "whats new"(thanks for idea!), edit out some spelling miztaykes and add a section with instuctions. I have all the images ready fro instructions for the boneyard truck ready to be edited.

Oh and on top of that I have to cast out the orders coming in and make new ,odels to expand the range, layout the new version of the Nuclear Renaissance rulebook,make a load of christams presents and what else? Oh yeah drink beer and laze around!

Well, Curtis, remember you were moaning about a more succesful business a while ago...

You are evolving in the right direction, but you're not there yet: as soon as the "beer drinking" is replaced by "counting money" (all the time), you will be there...  lol

Nice tank and price.

Will be my first vehicle for my American Venusian campaign... after I get the insects, of course.   o_o

My Chimera arrived with today's post. My first thoughts are that the overall quality has very much improved since I received one of the first spider tanks - no bubble holes and much better quality resin.

Well, it DOES look... evil! Yes, an EVIL Showman´s Engine! lol

Seeing the pieces up close, I think Chris' description is spot-on. This model is going to be a lot of fun to make and paint (including the mandatory Bullshott customisation). With its open construction I think I will probably turn this vehicle into a self-propelled artillery piece (probably with some sort of electrical weapon).

Received mine as well today; it is indeed a great model in more than one sense!

Yes, I found out the best resin formula from Jez at Old Crow when I was at UK Games Expo last year. Marble powder and grey pigment is the secret! Makes it look better and the pieces are alot sronger.

Anyway, Im looking forward to seeing some painted conversions! More meat for the gallery!
