The beast is on its way - Brief Update (12/08/09)

[Doc Twilight]

I am informed that the first of these armored beasts will be arriving here at HQ shortly I will post -immediately- when I am ready to sell them, as usual LAF will get first crack.

Multiple hatches. Open turret space (as suggested by Helen). Multiple weapons. Three different wheel configuration options.
Will probably retail at $35 US.

Very interesting

That's the most excellent news I've heard this morning. Thanks Doc for the update.

You're most welcome. Thank -you- for the support and input!

p.s.

The Emperor can have his prototype, so long as the Grand Admiral (me) gets his first..

Oh my. Want. 

My hobby budget just recieved a bit of a boost (sold some stuff off) so I think I know where it's going.

UPDATE:

The initial run of five prototypes has arrived here at Black Army HQ. I am very pleased with the results, indeed. The hull is resin, but all other parts (guns, hatches, etc.) are metal. A very beautifully cast piece with a minimum of mold lines. No flash on the metal pieces, at least the ones in the initial run. I'm sure there will be a little eventually, but the caster is very good about minimizing this.
I expect to have the first "production run" imminently (within the next week or so), so will post here at LAF and at Forum Noir when the "beast" is available for sale.
