These are the test casts for the new addition to the Tox Trooper range.
Not 100% happy with the head fittings, they needed a little filing and shaping to fit into the socket connector. Nothing major or unexpected, the shrinkage associated with RTV rubber and metal casting is never an exact science... but I always try to be critical. I'm considering switching to plain single part minis in general.
Next up is the paint test - if they work out OK I'll make them available in the store in a week or 2.
They look really promising! If you stick with the current head set up it gives lots more kit bash potential for buyers but I can see the benefits the other way too.
ReplyDeleteThanks. Yes totally agreed, separate heads are ideal. It's amazing how much they impact the space in the mould (and the cost for the casts... you could get 2 or possibly 3 additional minis in the space the head sprues take up). Alternate heads and also gas mask heads are a must though, so i'll likely stick with this set up.
