    Rodney was very much against that idea feeling that dedicated bodies were the way to go. It wasn't my interest but the Warthog had a really neat setup for opening up the breach for cleaning/swapping parts. If I remember right I think it was something like the old Angels.

    I worked on a feed block for open class conversion of the Gargoyle for a while. With the current lines of the Gen 1 at least. Its hard to make it look good.

        I'd be interested in a gargoyle for sure. Missed the indigo campaign because of school at the time.... this time I'll be ready to drop some coin.

        The warthog I'm not so sure about. It's a cool design and concept though. I'd want to see some pictures/video of someone playing with one

          I don't think there is any information beyond the fundraising goal not being met. That was the end of it other than private conversations up until this thread.

            Respectfully there is an answer to this. You are not the first person to ask this question. The simple answer was that I (Formerly RTR) did not want to do this to my design. The Gargoyle is too good looking and was very specifically designed to be a sleek Stock Class marker for the Stock Class players. There are a ton of options for open class players out there and I wanted to give something special to the Stock Class community. The Warthog should be a great option and we will have to wait and see what it's future is. !!

            Rodney was very much against that idea feeling that dedicated bodies were the way to go. It wasn't my interest but the Warthog had a really neat setup for opening up the breach for cleaning/swapping parts. If I remember right I think it was something like the old Angels.

            Thanks Nish, Hadn't seen your post on this when I submitted this one.

              How can we have an interest thread without photos to, well...stoke interest!
              Some folks also maybe never saw the Garg2/Warthog development thread, or the crowdsource campaign either.
              I was waiting for Rodney or Dan to put up some eye candy, but since I had saved pretty much any view that had been posted of the two designs, I dug them up for you all to ogle. Enjoy!
              First the Gargoyle 2:

                  For those interested in the “special sauce” inside the Gargoyle 2, here is a link to my folder with all my photos from the development thread.

                        Gargoyle 2 was going to be Cocker threaded with an AC to Phantom adaptor same as the original. I thought the Warthog was going to be the same but I don't see that in the images so I will keep my mouth shut about that one.

                            This could probably answer a lot of questions. Of Course RTR will have to speak on if there are any changes from the original plan https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/g...-the-warthog#/
