Title: Please ID the manufacturer (resin Barsoomian flyers)
Post by: Froggy the Great on December 09, 2010, 02:05:59 PM

A while ago, I traded for these from another LAF member, and I've had people asking me where they can get some of their own.  I cannot for the life of me remember who he said made these.  Can anyone fill in the missing data for me?

These look like they were made in balsa, then cast in resin.  I've added the prow and stern guns and the propellers, and primed them black.

I think these are Parroom Station fliers that didn't get picked up by Brigade Games.

If I'm right, it was produced originally at the same time as the one BG is currently selling for the Skyrunners game, though that one looks more like Adam West's Bat Boat.

Ok, it's by the LAF user Skrapwelder, and is shown here:

Anyone know if this is still available?

Actually I think he built these himself, cast them and sold a few. I don't think they were ever available commercially. I know I bought mine directly from him.

Yep, those are mine. I can make more if there is sufficient interest. PM me here and we can work out the details.
