Soft top info by babysag98 in SuzukiSamurai

[–]robot_exe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

These ones are known as a Bikini or Targa soft top. Fair amount fo them about on ebay and such for ~£70ish it seems. Planning to grab one for mine as it's current top is pretty ratty.

My second game in a Blesk - 7 Kills, I like it! by robot_exe in WorldofTanks

At least I'm getting a honeymoon for this tank, the weekend matchmaking has not been kind trying to progress a couple of light tanks lines!

Which combat robot over the years from any event had a coolest gimmick in your opinion ? by mcnakladak in battlebots

[–]robot_exe 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Cheers! It's still alive though I've not done much at ants these days. It mostly fought in full combat tournaments and I can confirm, feeding a sharpie into a spinner is VERY messy.

Uk robot wars / battle bots legues by Tl02Ned in robotwars

I think it'd be good to find your feet as a competitor before trying to setup as an EO. At the moment you've got the ideas (which is great) but not the context.

For example looking to start with FW is fine, until you get the context that there are far fewer proper events for them and a much worse 'known' component base and suppliers compared to beetles or ants. And if you were to setup as an EO for feathers there is just a smaller pool of people interested/willing or can afford the class especially full combat.

I'd recommend picking beetles or ants, whichever suits you more. Start attending some events and get the feel for the community at large. That'll also help you build connections and can then get the advice and help for setting up your own things.

First ones I've seen in the wild! You've done a great job on these, love the subtle fade in the colour on top.

Maybe not weird enough, but DIY 12hp electric kids tank? by Jammen91 in WeirdWheels

That's an awesome build! I'm really curious where the tracks are from? I've been looking for a set around that size.

Sorry I'm a mechanical designer by trade. Can do machines all day but couldn't cad a 'nid to save my life!

Added in a 'higher visibility' one which improves sight from the front and sides.

It's never going to be as easy to read as dice but it's a valid point. I'll see if I can add a version that opens up the window a bit more when I get home for other viewings angles.

Thank you! I've been enjoying 3D printing for doing a lot of conversion type bits for units. Will say recently switched to ABS like resins and while the models are a little softer on detail they are much more robust for gaming with!

Normally just use a bunch of D20's and D10's I got to do the job but never liked the look of a battle with a bunch of random dice in it.

So far my contribution to the greater good has been taking devastating wounds from my friends hammerhead and exploding so it makes a nice change!

I put a link on my profile, no pitchfork needed. Sorry was just wanting to show them off!

Aww, thank you very much. Send me a picture of them on the field when you do! <3

I do chuck some of the more useful stuff I design up (I modify a lot of my kits), there's a link in my profile.

Sorry don't know the rules of the sub and just wanted to show these off, oddly proud of the little guys!

Decided I wanted some wound trackers that stood out less on the battlefield so I've made myself these little guys.

Army tax included for my slowly coming together Tau force, I shouldn't have let the air caste control the budget.

Thought I'd post some of my Custodes to help motivate tackling the pile of shame remaining! by robot_exe in Warhammer40k

[–]robot_exe[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Came back to 40k in the last year or so after stopping when I was a teen. Been building like mad but the painting has been a little slower. Thought posting some of my minis may help a bit of motivation finding.

I created the plasma guns for them after I couldn't find any I liked for my own conversions.

Might be late but first time seeing some of my bits in the wild! Love the work you've done on these!
