September Autonomous Drone Builder - Full Component List!
🕑 Added 2022-09-02 09:03:30 +0000 UTCHello Patrons,
Here is the full visual guide/component breakdown for the contents of the Autonomous Drone Builder.
For the first post with lots of example Drone builds CLICK HERE
First a note about scale
Below is an example Drone at 100% size with a regular regiments miniature (32mm tall).
The Drone in this configuration is 30mm wide, 38mm long (excluding the Tow Cable), and 17mm tall to the top of the hull (27mm to the very top of the turret).
Rescaling:
The detail level and Pre-Supports are designed to work well at a range of scale adjustments. This gives you many more options for units you can proxy with the Drone Builder.
We have done test prints at various scales and are happy to recommend that the kit will work nicely anywhere from from 80% to 120%.
Below you can see a figure with the same Drone at 80% (which will fit on a 32mm base),100% and 120%.
Now for the components!
There are 51 component parts in total, allowing over 300,000 unique drones to be created.

it is not specifically designed like that. I did consider the suggestion but decided the small arms look far too out of scale to be sensible. There are various ways one could kit bash a small arm (or 2) on some some of the turrets :)

Will the double turret allow for double small-arms mount, like your resin version?

Ooooooh im gonna kitbash. I'm gonna kit bash so hard.
