V150 3D Printing

[stormlion1]

Very nice work, I have some 28mm Army Rangers from Gripping Beast that would look good with that.

So the final version of the 20mm cannon armed V150 is up at Shapeways.

"Nomuse", our 3D artist, is willing to make the "no turret or top deck" version if someone wants to scratchbuild their own V150 -- you can contact him through Shapeways.

$50.00!

Well, that's 3D printing for you. These sort of things cost $25 to $30 as low-production rate resin kits (see the Sloppy Jalopy website, for example). I see the price of a 4-wheeled armored car for WH40K is £33.00 ... $52.80.

And you don't need groups and squadrons of Project vehicles, heh.

Our 3D artist spent quite a while on research and modeling; and printed out the prototype. He's not gonna break even till he's sold at least half-a-dozen of these (I plan to buy at least one myself).

The various "bad guy" vehicles are mostly die-cast or plastic toys, bought at the flea market or dollar store, torn apart and repainted. So ... I save money there.

I don't game with miniatures anyway. I like the concept though.

I do game with minis so this holds an attraction for me. Just need to have the money to pick one up and paint.

I've convinced "nomuse" to post up the 'scratchbuilder' version also: no turret, no top deck (the level, rectangular area behind the driver/co-driver hatches, ahead of the sloped engine deck). It should be a few bucks cheaper, and ready for you to make an APC, mortar carrier, command vehicle, or (if you're super-ambitious) the armored recovery vehicle.

It may take him a week or two to create the new model and post it to Shapeways. You can put it on your holiday gift list!
