Mk, Very impressive game! What did you make the OGRE out of? I saw allot of Mels Force XXI stuff there.....does look sorta OGRE-ish come to think of it....) You going to run this again next time around? If you are, I don't care what else is going on I'm going to make there lol.

The secondary batteries are metal and have some limited rotating capability. And are removable. They are about the diameter of a regular drinking straw. The treads do not move. ;-) The body is all resin, but hollow underneath. The back half is detachable from the front half, and pivots on a hook-like connection, allowing the vehicle to be in a dynamic turn. It would be possible to drill a small hole through the center of the sensor tower and mount a clear(-ish) ball (or whatever) there instead of the resin one I have that would contain a diode or some such light source. Could be fun. I didn't think of this originally; someone else mentioned it to me at the con. I do have a second Ogre that I might consider doing this to. *grin* A more ambitious modeller could put a small motor inside the body and make the treads move (or at least put wheels in the tread modules to allow the Ogre to move). I am not that ambitious. ;-) Joel Frock constructed the parts for the Ogre for me. He is exploring the possibility of MAYbe making a Mk III-B or a Mk. V. It took him the better part of 6 months of constant working to make the Mk III. If he feels it's worth it and makes one of the other models...there might be more 15mm Ogres out in a game next year...

Pictures? And something I'm already regretting: If evil is Indy's genus what's his species?

OK - cool pics, and the scenery looks great on some of the games, but for the benefit of those unable to attend - would anyone like to put names to faces?

Any picture which includes an unbearably handsome young man... doesn't have me in it... however, any pic that has an average looking white guy (okay that's most of us!) in it with a mustache and thin beard occasionally wearing a dark blue 'Big Dogs' (shameless plug, no kick backs...) jacket and the 'RedvsBlue' (another shameless plug sans kick bakcs...) hat is a picture of me..
