I love the FMG star on the bottom. Nice touch! Question on the turrets… Are they nice and tight so once placed, they don’t flop around or fall out? I would hate to bust out the crazy glue on these… :-o
P.S. The “VW Vanagen” is so great…

They will not fall out. They have a “bulge” at the bottom of the “stem” that holds them in. They are manually assembled at the factory. They can come out (for painting etc) if you pull tight on them.

And do the turrets rotate/swivel with some firmness or are they very loose?
Lovely pictures by the way!

Nice pics, they seam to be high quality

Look great FMG! Keep up the good work!

They are tight and will stay in any position

Fantastic, thank you!

It’s amusing that this phrase is normally associated with prophecies of doomsday, but that in our case it’s something we see as a good thing. :-)

-
Field Marshal Games these pieces are excellent! Thank you for your dedication to improving this game with these extraordinary sculpts! :-) They are well worth the wait.

I still find it fascinating that these tiny tanks have moveable turrets. So the “stem” is on the turret piece and fits down in the body of the tank, right? It really makes me appreciate the complexity of the mould.
Oh yeah, while you say the turrets could be removed for painting or whatever, I would be too afraid to try and pull them apart for fear of breaking them. The plastic must be a bit softer than the plastic used for WOTC pieces.
I am so stoked to get these. Since you mentioned “end of month”, this month has really started to drag along very slowly. It seems like each day I look at the calendar and say “Is THAT all the farther we’ve gotten?!?”

The new Twilight Imperium expansion “Shards of the Throne” includes tiny tank-like futuristic fighting machines (“mechanized units”) with a revolving turret. You can see some pictures of them here:

They’re about as big as a dime, which is around the same size as an A&A tank, and they’re made of a kind of plastic which is a bit softer than the one used for A&A pieces. The units came in two pieces in the game box: a hull with a hole on top and a turret with a peg at its base. The fit is snug: each unit required a fair amount of thumb pressure to assemble. The assembled turrets rotate stiffly but adequately. Anyway, I don’t bother rotating the turrets because I think these units look best with the turret pointing straight ahead.

or backwards like the french lol :evil: :-) :wink:
