Hi!

Forgiveness for my ignorance, but is this real?

I mean, can I use this RCWS in my MaxxPro?

I loved the whole thing, but it is used?

Does anyone have pictures of this thing?

Thank you

Marco

Marco, the Remote Controlled Weapon Station are real,

I didn't find the exact image like those from LiveResin.

But the Military robot Secutor II, I couldn't find any image.

From the Live Resin site is appears that this is _their_ concept. It is not "real".


That said, I just bought the weapon station for a "What if" I'm putting together.

That would look great on my M1114.. but it's too late.
But the M-ATV still has a chance for an upgrade !

Mario,

Is that your Secutor robot on the cutting mat? If so, how does it build up? What are the dimensions of the robot? Is it REALLY SMALL?

No, these are the images supplied by Yaroslav from Live Resin.

Thank you guys!

The RCWS looks fantastic, but as Yaroslav said, it's less than a prototype.

I problaby will use the Live Resin SF turret on my MaxxPro;

Cheers!

Both if these releases are fictional, sci-fi, "what if" or whatever you want to call them. I think LiveResin should describe them clearly as such in their announcement, otherwise it is misleading...

well I was confused on the rcws... I saw Live Resin release and leaped before I looked... nothing against sci-fi, but where is the Legged Squad Support System "Big Dog" offering? That is at least DARPA testing hardware

I have to admit I was surprised with this batch of Live Resin releases. They must have been difficult to produce and I'm wondering if there is a market for such kits. Hopefully, Live Resin's next releases would be back to 'reality'.

If you go back to page 32 on the LR post (Posted: Monday, April 01, 2013 - 01:09 AM GMT)is how long I guess it takes from fully completed make up to this weeks full production offering.



I had about the same wait for the mini-gun....Oh well ...worth it.
