    I've been working on these on and off for a while now, finally kicked myself into finishing the small guide on working with these kits and going through to assemble at least one of each ship type. These were all printed in FUD and measure between 65mm and 30mm long. Still a bit to go before I finalize the shop listings and get everything in order, included creating step-by-step assembly instructions for each model!

    They look very nice,
    Any gaming system in particular
    (and excuse my ignorance if it is evident, but it escapes my knowledge :))

    These would work well with Battlefleet Gothic, especially given how that ruleset does all it's measurements off of the base and stand rather than the physical model.

    Thanks!

    You need to pimp your stuff on forums, FB groups etc.

    Most of my stuff is for RC tanks so I post a lot on RC tank forums, showing off the stuff I've made. I also keep a Blog of the things I'm building and my Blog address is always in my forum signature. Same with FB and Google+

    I make videos of my tanks that I put up on Youtube. They link to my Blog which in turn links to my SW shop.

    You need to get on as many groups etc as you can and let people know your making stuff and get them interested.

    See what I did there?
     
  6. heh, I saw what you did there, and I appreciate your feedback. I guess some of my problem is hesitation about self-promotion, but the only thing I can do about that is get over it. And "throw" myself out there on more forums, and groups...even if it somehow doesn't "feel right"....(hopefully that makes some sense). It also doesn't quite help that I'm in the "drifty stage" of life yet (not sure what to invest energy in), but that's starting to change too.

    By the way your tanks look nice.

    Thanks.

    It can make you feel a bit dirty posting links to promote your work but its somthing you need to do if you want to get people to see your work.

    It may not lead to loads of sales but getting feedback is always good.

    Would it be cool/fun/uncool if making dioramas was this easy?
    A tool like that could be handy for planning the terrain.



    Hat tip to @Likesyrup for the link

    But does it have an export to SW button for FCS printing @HenrikRydberg ?

    I make 1/144 aircraft models mostly. I try to make models that are not available from injection or resin manufacturers and that please me. I tend to prefer more modern aircraft.

    I started back in 2010 and over the years I received requests to make some of my models available in other scales. I have added a few in 1/200 and some in other scales, but usually it is a lot of work and I prefer to concentrate on 1/144.
    This is my shop: Small Scale Shop

    @hanelyp cool, whats you're game like? Are you playtesting it yet?

    I need to get together a playtest group. The game those models are for is a simple asymmetrical tactical combat game, for 2-10 players, each airship having some unique combination of what they can do.
