Hopefully the Moon Jalopy will be available at SELWG, along with a couple others.

This sounds very exciting (as do all GZG's releases) - pics don't seem to be working for me though, just me?

I really like that, would make great drop in scenery on almost any sci-fi or near future table. Is there a trailer for it?

At present there isn't a trailer.  Hopefully a mini-flyer & a different Rover will be available at SELWG.

Jon was hoping to get two other larger Rovers in production but has had problems getting the resin body parts from the external supplier.

Another step closer to a long time dream of mine.  We're getting really close to being able to play Metagaming's Artifact as a 15mm minis game.

Still holding out hope for someone doing character figs for all the leaders/heroes/personalities in Revolt On Antares.  :)

Seriously though, the world *needs* military lunar rovers that look like those armed dune buggy Desert Patrol Vehicles/Light Strike Vehicles

Unluckily I was asked to them looking more like 'civilian' vehicles borrowed by the military.  If there is enough interest Jon may want some more military looking rovers.

On side note two larger enclosed rovers should be available at SELWG, I will post some pictures once I get them.

Just trying to plant a seed

One of these (being a Chinese design for a moon buggy from 2014) with laser guns and a couple of armoured taikonauts charging across the lunar surface at high speed to do battle with USMC Astro Marines

A nice buggy, but it still looks too... atmospheric.  It's got a grille on the front.  In a SF future with a lot more lift capacity I don't think you'd need to try and make your buggies as skeletal as the Chinese one though.

There will be a Chinese Moon Rover & Moon Jeep different style to this USA one.

I put the bars on front as a plain nose did not look right.
