Some really well painted cars posted.
Just put in an order to Rob at Eureka USA
for some cars.

Now any good racing movies for the time era, out there?
Or some books?

Rabbitz, when you order, make a note for me and I can pop you in a set of decals.
I picked up lots of $1.00 sheets that inspired me at a local modelling show.

I dropped into Eureka Miniatures yesterday and picked up (among other things) the Mad Maximillian Flyer, running versions of the crew and the turning template for Maximillian 1934 (thanks again Scurv).

I'll start a thread over the weekend, but I've already glued the car together and started painting the template. A little fiddly, but a lot of fun!

For those wanting to get their template done, instead of following Mana Press' video:


A quick alternative would be just to use a black felt tip pen.

I've gone and painted mine and I'll use chalk in the recesses instead.

I also picked up the Louise Brooks figure with the two pistols:




But I can't find her on the Eureka website.

tl;dr: Get these cars and rules. Now.

Alright, I'll bite; why was the young lady wielding a pair of flintlocks?  ???

Love the layout Rabbitz, seeing those bold cars run through such a sleepy town makes it even more fun! And man that purple, so bold, so cool.

 :)  I like to think of it as Noddy's car with more attitude.

Had a little race around Egypt.

Which car is this?

White decal paper used here..




Relatively easy as long as you follow the destructions and take your time trimming. I actually find the white works better than the clear as the colours are much bolder on the white background - the clear ones need over painting
I used to be with it, but then they changed what it was. Now what I'm with isn't it anymore and what is it seems weird and scary.

Those are great cars (and paint jobs), and awesome tables. I love Eureka's Louise Brooks mini. I guess its a case of ask Nic, because it wont be updated on his website this side of Christmas  :D
Caliver books have just advertised they are now selling Maximillian.

Oops, forgot to update this thread. I contacted Nic at Eureka Miniatures. He confirms that she hasn't been released yet (but he imagines she'll be part of the 'A Right Bloddy Mess' range), but she is available. Like with many things that haven't got an official release yet at Eureka, you can order her by emailing Nic (contact details on the Eureka Miniatures website):

I should have my first shipment of the Maximillian 1934 cars and figures here in the UK next week, and a second shipment two weeks later. Rules are coming separately.

It will take a day or two for me to sort out the incoming stock.

Codes are currently on the website, but the add to cart buttons are not yet enabled.

Any idea when the rules will be available? Also, will you be stocking the template?
