Designing a complex sprue like this is similar to painting an entire army of minis. The trouble with the infantry sprues seems to be the 3-4 week design time needed, followed by another couple of weeks of milling. That is why I am going to re-focus on making the infantry sprues. In the future I would like to see a design it yourself kit that would allow for multiple weapon options. However, there seems to be little demand for them. With the new alignment pins I am using and some thinner designs in mind I think I can make a much better product. They are by far the hardest thing to run due to the thickness of the parts and the alignment problems that plague them. As readers of this blog know it has been a learning year, and some of the tank molds can really do for an improvement.
Going to arm them with spear or hand weapons, and add shields if possible.Īnd finally, about the tanks. So far I have the first body with arms and a head and this second body parts done. If you are at the show stop by and say hi.Īnd I got plenty of time, this is taking way too long to create. Right now I am planning on cutting that starting on Monday. I will post anything neat that happens at the show and pics of Joe's house when they are done. Fall-in is going to be my first show, but my hope is to make the next one with model figures! The CAD design problems that had been a thorn in my side for so long are gone and it is simply a matter of executing. Right now things are going pretty good in a lot of ways. Actually a wealthy investor would not be wealthy if he invested in unproven manufacturing techniques.so that settles that. Well, I am guessing that is extremely unlikely although possible. I am hoping to run into a wealthy investor who agrees to fund my operation as a tax write-off. I have to focus 100% on making organic models and generic multi-use terrain with a broader appeal, as well as extremely nice plastic vehicles. Unfortunately the demand for the current batch has been quite low.
I really like working on tanks and have plans to make a bunch of better models. The trencher and roller are off the store now too, as I might run out this weekend at the show. I am taking my bases and things to sell, as well as the remaining tanks. I am going as a guest of Highlander Studios, who has graciously offered to share his merchants spot with me. Just wanted to post that I am off to Fall-In.
