I responded on my blog about the Rafm gears; in a nutshell, I'm still waffling on what to do with them but I'm not ready to sell them just yet but I'll email you regardless.

In sum...I haven't had the time or inclination.<br /><br />In summary, Caprice plastics are pretty good, better than OK, but not excellent due to minor issues that bug me, and the Ammon doesn't work for me. The CEF frames look good, but I've not yet assembled them. And I was brought up to say nothing if one had nothing nice to say about something, which means I will not comment on the North and South Gears. However, the weapons on the sprues are brilliant.<br /><br />As for the rules, to me the problems I identified earlier with the Pod have not been addressed. What I take away from that is that I'm not the target audience. I will give the game another play or two, but not feeling the 'love' for them, which is why I'm working on my own rules.<br /><br />PS: I thought I had your email, but can't find it. Please email me: ashley(at sign thing)ashley-pollard(dot)com<br /><br />I wish to discuss RAFM Gears, as I understand you may have a few in excess of your requirements.

I find a more limited selection of poses makes painting easier - I group up all the guys in the same pose and can "assembly line" through them in short order whereas a wide mix always slows me down. It's one of the reason I can't ever finish painting a "rag tag orc army."

Larger scales i.e.: 28mm and larger seem OK, just the smaller stuff looks rigid. Though I'm happy to be proved wrong, and the state-of-the-art advances over time.

With a 3D model, a decent articulation should allow the base figure to be designed once, then be re-posed and have appropriate weapons added.<br /><br />Mind you, you'd still need to make separate moulds for the production figures. If you sold them as a batch of mixed poses, perhaps you could make one spin-cast master with a bunch of different shapes in it? I don't know how this interacts with the design stage.RogerBWhttps://blog.firedrake.org/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5262220849718806044.post-31908183590019250582017-01-23T11:05:12.310+00:002017-01-23T11:05:12.310+00:00No market for that option in 15mm figures, too sma...No market for that option in 15mm figures, too small and fiddly for most wargamers. The larger 28mm figures are done that way and some wargamers complain about having to assemble their men.
