Thanks, everyone! I've been working on the VAMP quite a bit, and the Conquest almost has a cockpit. I'm not happy with the proportions on the Stun but I'll figure it out (3-wheeled vehicles need two front wheels for stability during turns and that throws everything off for me) and my RAM has turned into a combo RAM/Silver Mirage which means a lot more work.
That said, I've got two more vehicles that I think will be ready to show in a couple of days, and they're both Cobra.

Seriously, though, I plan on printing these up and producing physical vehicles for my figures. Sales are possible but that's all about the logistics... how much it would cost to print, finish, mold and cast vs how many I could actually move, that sort of thing. Resin & silicone can get pricey. My designs being different enough to not worry about legalities only means so much if only 3 people want a $200 HISS, you know?

Perfect world? Hasbro emails me about wanting the Conquest files.

Out of morbid curiosity, what would a 30" Classified Conquest be worth to anyone? What vehicles would be cool enough to warrant making the space for something so much larger than the classic versions?

I would be interested, but given the time and material it takes to print one up I would say no less than $350. Now let's talk about them HISS tanks

What about something smaller? Like a modern era compatible ASP? Or Alpha Checkpoint? Cobra Bunker? Coastal Defender? Etc...

The whole reason I fast-tracked the new RAM was for the sake of something a bit more small and practical.
Print time and finishing work would be ridiculous, which is why I plan on printing and cleaning up only the masters. Any potential vehicles, even for myself, would be urethane resin cast out molds. That would also let me make clear parts (like canopies) and flexible parts (like tires) in addition to being faster and cheaper.

3D print your own Flagg. You'd be a legend.

Don't think I haven't thought about it! Very little of it could be printed up (mdf deck, styrene superstructure) but I've always thought it'd be cool to have a custom Flagg mounted directly to the wall as a display shelf.
