Seems to be slipping down the page without any comments, but the model itself looks very promissing indeed. Looks to be a sure match next to the Antenociti vehicles you've done, and as mentioned on your blog, the Heresy troopers.

I've got a couple of squads of those myself, and between the new heavy weapons, these vehicles and your paintscheme for them, I think I now know in which direction I'll take them.

Can't wait for the obvious additional inspiration from this cool little ride, once you startposting progress reports...

Hells Yeah.  I want this.

Great stuff...But I'm most interrested in the 28mm Caiman...Do you have any informations on the delay to be product?...

I really like this one, will have to get one end perhaps a caiman too, but I already have a 1:48 Aliens APC so the polecat is definately at the top of the list for me. I am looking forward to see you work your magic on it as well Dwartist.

Hi ANPU. Where did you get your APC from Alien?...

Khurasan 's got an impressive growing line

Hi ANPU. Where did you get your APC from Alien?...

If it's from Frontier Models http://www.frontiermodels.co.uk/Alien-p-1-c-282.html (they do have a 1/48 model but it's not shown - no stock maybe) it's a troublesome build. Poor casting and myriad faults (I'm correcting one the best I can). Wait for the Caiman (it's been printed so should be test cast soon) or news from elswhere....

[Anpu]

I got mine from Frontier models which don't seem to sell it anymore. I agree with Dwartist, it is a poor model and a troublesome build, it is also leaving out simple details that should have been ther, and easily made by the model maker. However there is a better one produced by http://www.bambammodelproductions.com/blog/aliens/.
The Khurasan model seems like a really good choice as well. If I have the cash to spare I will get both   They can alwasy be used as different models.

[fafa]

All right, I'll probably wait the Khurasan one which seems better...

Hi fafa, the update on it is, it's with the caster, who also is cleaning the print lines off the master.  He does a very, very good job on that, so I'm pleased to wait.  

Right now I have a huge backlog at the resin casters because many of my products languished at another casters for 6-9 months (while he steadily released his own products).  These would be things like the Nova Respublik DOE gunship in 15mm scale, which I previewed and then sat on my hands waiting for.  

As a result there's a huge production line at the casters, being made right now.  Here's a list of just some of the stuff.


Completed casting and paintups:
Garn GAU (a huge reptilian war mecha)

Completed casting, awaiting paintups
Federal Army Medium Tank, tracked
Federal Army Medium Tank, grav
Federal Army APC, tracked
Federal Army APC, grav

Completed paintup, awaiting castings:
Federal Army Polecat (28mm)

Awaiting casting:
Caiman APC (28mm scale)
Nova Respublik DOE gunship
Karkarine Karkpanzer(l)
Stikk Skuttler

To be cast:
6mm scale Dictator war mecha
Karkarine Karkpanzer(m)
Karkarine Flakpanzer
Nova Respublik Cossack light APC/scout car
Horizon ATV truck
Iquana ATV APC (military version of the Horizon)
And lots of other stuff besides
