Smooth weapons - the flamer almost looks too heavy.

Those are supposed to be some heavy calibre MG's Like sci-fi pom-pom guns...  lol I do agree they look too big though. Forwards flamethrowers on fast moving vehicles makes no sense.



. As with everything, living on this side of the world, shipping is always overseas and expensive.
Who knows, right now I'm mostly working for Eureka, so it might just end up on that side of the globe.

lol True. But when still... although the amount of fuel needed to make them useful would be prohibitive.

You know. I've been wanting to do a Eureka order but I think they have a single overseas shipping option so it still hits me hard. However I have a long list from them and when it reaches critical mass the shipping doesn't matter anyway :)

If you want to call them Plasma Decay Projectors and pretend they shoot extra cool science fire by my guest. Actually  I'm curious what kind of weapons people would like to see on these. They turn into wheels so to me that suggests fast moving vehicle and it don't really imagine them beeing all that tanky as the destroyers. So I looked at modern light raiding vehicles which tend to have MG's or grenade launchers, hence the twin pompoms. They also often carry missiles hence the triple tubes, small package big splash and all that. But even on my prototypes the prints are modular so I'm curious what people would like them to have for weapons.
