Very helpful lockers!

I've been looking at your site and you have some amazing pieces. Once I decide on what I want/need I will definitely be making an order.

One question though; do you have any plans to start producing quad 40mm Bofors with shields? I mean all in one piece with no need for PE? If you start doing that, I will basically just start throwing my wallet at you.

Hmmm...the pedestal that the assorted lockers are printed on looks interesting! Looks like they could be incorporated into some kind of scratch-build, or as a pedestal for a light gun!

They don't come like that, they come like this. I think those are printed like that for promotional purposes.

Hello,

Some answers to questions.

To Firesmacker
Printing the shield with the 40mm mount is possible, but the printing software will add supports that will be very difficult to remove as the shield is independent of the mount on the actual gun. Adding PE was the best option, as no resin layers will be visible, and putting the shield in place is not a big deal.

To Drasticplastic
As Martin said, the base / pedestal we use is only for display purpose of the parts. It is far easier to handle such very small parts when we do the photo shots !

Bummer!! I was getting ideas!

Thanks for the response, Ben. I figured it had to be some sort of issue. I found some on Shapeways, but they are prohibitively expensive. I've never purchased anything from them, but I've read that their prices are comparatively high and thought someone else could make and supply them for a lower cost.

I made a purchase today anyway. Your Mk.37 and Mk.51 gun directors are just lovely.
