Well, we DO sometimes sell individual bits if people ask us very
nicely.....  ;-)

Would people be interested if we listed a pack or two of assorted 6mm turrets
and bits in the range? Such packs would probably consist of a random
assortment of various
turrets/weapon mounts from the DSM range vehicles, to do mix/match and
convert other miniatures. Let me know quickly if yes, and I'll squeeze them
into the new catalogue.....

NO. But if you put exactly the same thing under FT where I can use it to
customize my ships, YES YES YES! (ok, put it in DS too if you like)

GeoHex sold a pack called "Wings and Things" that was a collection of FT bits
and pieces. I don't know if it's still available, though.

Yup.

The other thing I want to do some time (when I've got a permenant mailing
address in Texas) is to buy a whole slew of tracked hulls. See, I've got
plenty of turrets from the grav armor. I just also want to field the tracked
versions.

I'd say that such packs would be useful for the SG (25mm & 15 mm), DS and FT
product lines. As an FT player whos been recently building up a
KV and a UNSC fleet - there are a lot of useful components in both
ranges.
Another useful bit (I'm thinking FT - but I think it would be useful for
some DS applications as well) would be a smallish (2-3mm) 'sensor
dish'/radar - preferably one with a locating pin that would fit the
mounting holes that the '3-tubes' moulding seen on several UNSC ships
fits. It could be used on the aforementioned ships as a sensor suite -
or it could be fitted to a DS vehicle to make a radar truck, for example.

There was a couple of those in the 'bits' pack from KR. They looked good on my
FSE big boys.

I sent this on Friday, but it got lost in E-mail limbo.

I know that I would like to see this for the Furture Wars figures. They seem
to have much more interchangeable turrets. I know that you sell them under
different names but it would seem simpler to offer the bodies seperate from
the turrets: Medium Chasis Triton IV tracked chasis
Triton V GEV/Grav chasis
Simcat tracked chasis
 Large Chasis
Demios GEV/Grav chasis
Ganymede SHvy GEV/Grav chasis
etc.
-
Turrets for Medium Chasis T1 (Triton) HVC Turret S1 (Simcat) HKP Turret M1 GMS
Turret M2 SLAM Turret AA AA Turret Turrets for Large Chasis G1 (Ganymede) Hvy
MDC Turret D1 SHvy MDC Turret HH Twin MDC Turret HB (Helbat) Artillery Turret
etc.

I would think that it would simplify your inventory (less stock numbers), and
allow us players a greater number of choices in figures. Customers order
chasis/turret combinations. IFVs, VTOLs, APCs, Riverine, and Aerospace
are chasis only.

It might work for the Dirtside Miniatures line as well, but I only have
Phalanx and Paladins (same turrets on both), so I do not know how well they
interchange with the other turrets.
