I like oval bases for artillery.

I use circular ones.
Used to be Flat for plastics and lipped for metals (to hide the mound), but now that warlord include bases with every kit I just use lipped as I'm lazy and cheap.

Wish Lists / Re: Allied half track passengers
« on: August 30, 2016, 03:21:52 pm »I agree that the WG panzergrenadier passengers look ok (I bought some WG 251s out of laziness as they came with passengers) - unfortunately as soon as I added one of the standard plastics (converted to a machine gunner) they looked like children.
I did the same; it's a bit extravagant, but I bought 2 Warlord SdKfz 251/2's just for the mortars, figures and accessories. Their Ausf D is greatly inferior to Rubicon's, so I won't use the vehicles. I didn't realise that the figures are undersized - that's annoying.
They make good scenery though

Work In Progress / Re: The all NEW M4A3 Sherman - 160825
« on: August 27, 2016, 07:03:19 am »
@pinky
The impression I get from rubicon is that every single variant of the Sherman will be available in some way and all the parts would be interchangable so you could make those weirder variants and the bastardised bodge Jobs, sorry, field repairs.
How they accomplish this I don't know, but I'm very excited to find out.
We know that the M4A3 76mm is out in December (and that turret looks so much better) and I think we can safely assume that an M4A3 75mm/105mm would be out shortly after (as that's the more useful tank gaming wise) giving us two boxes like the T34-76/85. I like the idea of that as there's too much crammed into the current kit and it appears the new 76mm has crew.
From there, who knows how they'll do it (well I guess/hope rubicon do...), but expansion packs similar to the 250/251 half tracks would be cool with the main kit being the base kit (would work nicely for jumbo/easy 8, etc) or maybe as they said earlier they will have a Sprue with the base parts that are common to all Shermans and the have mark specific kits that have the correct front glacial plates, sides, exhausts, hatches, too plates, turrets, tracks, etc. Potentially we could have serval boxes if that was the case which gets me very happy.
I might make one tank with bits that would never have gone together just for the sake of annoying some people
This is probably the project I have got most excited about so far. More so than the greyhound! And maybe this opens it up for the various panzer marks as well?

Do you think you'll ever do passengers for the back? Maybe in a resin blister pack?
Could be a great way of adding some character to it. Could have some chatting, smoking, writing letters, playing cards, inspecting weapon, snoozing, etc
Perry miniatures do them in blocks and they work well.

I got a response
"On earlier models has been a toolbox on top of the tank which did get replaced and it became the Airbox. Under this cover is the Airfilter"
It then was deleted compleley. Afraid I don't have a date/model of when it was deleted.
Does that help? Any further questions?

I've spoken to a friend who used to work at BMW Motorrad. I think he helped with part design or something.
He thinks it's an enlarged Air filter to deal with desert conditions, but he's going to check with some of his old colleagues.

we can pretend that's they're firing at less than 500m and checking the ranging in :p
Although radio arms would be cool for the 5000m firing...
