The postie came Friday (several posties and couriers in fact, it was a busy day for deliveries !). The most exciting of these, notwithstanding the shiny new plastic storage boxes, was a small package from the 3D printers. Now you know I get all excited by new models and like to show them off as soon as they arrive (Phil thinks this is a little strange, but what does he know …). Today is no different, so with the usual apologies\/excuses about the difficulty of photographing the 3D prints, here is some new stuff …<\/p>\n

These tiny little beasties are 6mm versions of the Raeside grav utility vehicles that came out in 15mm last year. There’s a flatbed, turreted and plain utility version, and also a separate sprue of turrets that didn’t make it into the picture. To get a sense of scale, the grid on my rather well-used cutting board is 50mm square, and the vehicles are about 1\/2″ long.<\/p>\n

\"RaesidePreview\"<\/p>\n

The rest of the new models are 15mm – more replacements for older sculpts, and something completely new (at least in 15mm) as well. <\/p>\n

Firstly, this is the print of the new 15mm AmRep Kochte tank we showed off<\/a> in CG form a little while back. It retains the same basic shape as the older model but the styling and detail is much, much improved.<\/p>\n

\"KochtePreview\"<\/p>\n

This is the new Curtiss heavy tank. The older version<\/a> of the Curtiss was the very first 3D designed and printed model we released and we’ve given it a bit of an update with new styling on the turret, some lift-fan detailing on the skirt and just an overall better model. Several years of working with 3D prints has taught us quite a bit about designing and producing models this way, and the new Curtiss benefits from this.<\/p>\n

\"CurtissPreview\"<\/p>\n

Lastly (for now), we’re rounding out the AmRep with 15mm versions of the Baumann MICV and Oldmann light tank. Both are armed with turreted autocannons, while the Baumann has a missile strapped to one side of the turret. There is also an AA turret for the Baumann, and a multiple-missile turret that fits both hulls.<\/p>\n

Look for the 15mm models to be released sometime in March with a bit of luck (we like to be flexible with our release dates). We don’t have a firm date for the 6mm vehicles just yet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
