*TRANSMISSION TO ALL THE FREE TRADERS OF THE GALAXY*

*BEGIN*
---Good day Gentlemen! This is zcharles from his small independent republic at the edge of the Galaxy. We are proud to show you today this brand new war toy, the fantastic ZULU 1 Main Battle Tank!
This piece of art is the result of many years of military research, as well as a little technological jewel in a galaxy of incompetence. Please have a look to this new machinery and consider its innovations with all the experience of your battle-hardened eyes.

*NOTES*
This is a resin tank for 28mm wargaming.
The tank is produced in our small laboratory with few cheap machines, and even if we truly use all our love to cast it, some parts might have small imperfections that the customer can easily clean. Moreover, we are keeping the price of the vehicle the lowest possible with the best quality we can offer. Inside the box you will find a brochure that explains you how to handle and model resin, if you are new to this material.
The tank is packed in two versions; base version and version with weapon sets.
The base version has a 170mm cannon, a removable armed periscope and an unarmed one for the leader, a removable antenna holder, a metallic antenna, the decal set; it’s possible to choose one from three hull weapons (laser cannon, 20mm autocannon, flame-thrower).
The version with weapon sets has three more weapons for the turret (a twin 50mm autocannon, a short 4 barrel laser emitter, a short 360mm siege cannon), two platforms with two 20mm autocannons, a 20mm autocannon, a laser cannon and a flame-thrower for the hull.
The prices (inside the European Union) will be 42,35 euros for basic version; 54,45 euros for versions with weapon sets, plus shipping. For other countries you could have bad surprises with shipping taxes, as you probably already know if you are used to buy around the world.
The site will soon be ready for taking orders. Consider that being this a hobby for us, and being the tank made of 15-20 parts, the rate of production of the tank is quite low, so casting could take its time.

We really hope you like it; the ZULU 1 has been designed for those who can appreciate its realistic mechanical structure, those who - like us - are tired of the ridiculous design of the sci-fi tanks that surround us - with some small exceptions of small resin casters.
Please feel free to comment on the vehicle,
SUGGESTIONS AND IMPRESSIONS ALWAYS WELCOME

Best regards, zcharles.

No thank you for putting this is a 40K rumors forum. Why not general sci fi which this is?

You probably right, Denzark; I'm sorry, I'm new to the forum.
Please, if some modder can move this to the general sci-fi.

Vaktathi, tanks! Many didn't. I'm receiving many positive comments, but many negatives too, and -incredible- also some hostile comment! Few like the sponsons, they think they are too poor; I think they are essentials and proportionated, but you know, talking of tanks seems like talking of religion some time! :)
