  • SSL and postage fixes

    sslIt’s been an intense few days here in the Fox Box bunker. I’ve been doing my best to fix up some of the annoying issues we’ve encountered over the last month or three and in doing so found a few annoying things.

    First off there’s the fact that Firefox thought there was something wrong with our SSL certificate. There wasn’t and never has been, worry ye not. As it happens we don’t need SSL on our shopping cart as we don’t handle the financial aspects – that’s all done through PayPal’s secure servers, not ours. Your money is safe Smile

    Speaking of the shopping “cart” there’s been some changes there too. Using a new version of Jigoshop’s Table Rate Shipping extension things are finally working properly. No longer do you have to worry about virtual items to create the correct postage levels!

    Furthermore worldwide shipping rates have been implemented. There’s a calculator in the shopping basket to let you know how much it’ll be before checkout, just punch in your location.

    There’s more news to come but that’s all for now.

    Stay green!

  • Our first product release!

    We’ve been hinting at it for a while now but at long last we’re pleased to announce the launch of our own product line.

    biker-torsos-front

    They’re biker torsos modelled on the Spores of Anarchy Ork bikers you may have seen on The Waaagh or DakkaDakka (although these are more detailed than the ones they’re based on). There’s five different designs and they should fit with most normal scale Orcs and Orks.

    As you can see it’s only one modest offering for the moment but there’s many more products in the pipeline. We’re also open to suggestions if there’s anything in particular you’d like to see.

    Hopefully it won’t be long before we can announce the next things. Like us on Facebook or follow us on Twitter to get sneak peeks at the workbench!

    Stay green!

  • Drake1202’s Battlewagon

    After several setbacks the GW Ork Battlewagon is finally available on our humble little shop. You can find it here, but you knew that.

    Anyway, to celebrate that we’ve managed to get our grubby meathooks on some photos of Drake1202’s “battlewagon”. It’d be just a battlewagon but, well, see for yourself:

    It’s cleverly magnetised and so has different options. See that trukk bed in the background?side-shot-flatbed

    You can read more about this clanking monstrosity over on The Waaagh.

    It’s a thing of beauty, ain’t it?

  • Orky Axes

    A while back we posted a suitably orky tune. Today I stumbled across suitable human-scale instruments for performing such music:

    How cool is that?

  • Ben has been learning to sculpt. Git!

    Hello, folks!

    It’s been a bit quiet on the blog front of late as I’ve been a bit busy learning to sculpt. A friend of mine challenged me to create a model of myself to use as a House Agent in Necromunda. He’s a much better painter than I am so I decided to go for a different strategy – a complete sculpt:

    (Gallery)

    It’s based on me and is my first full 100% my own work model. I’ve got others I’m working on too for my Escher gang but they’ve used a couple of parts from other manufacturers (an ammo belt from Zinge Industries for example).

    Soon I’ll be transferring what I’ve learnt back to my Ork stuff. My initial greenskin heads look clunky and primitive compared to what I can do now. Hopefully in a few months I’ll look back at these sculpts and cringe too.
