For those of you who have not seen it, I felt I should post a description of the first Leviathan release. For those that have.... Here is some new eye candy. Grandfather of all Leviathans; the VR5 design is over 200 years old and has seen many improvements and variants. It and its variations are widely considered some of the finest designs ever produced. A balance of size, speed, armor and armament all come together to make a very formidable vehicle. The decision to design the cockpit after the Totenköpfe was primarily nostalgic and a matter of national pride. The frame of the first Leviathan was designated VR5 in honor of the 5 th Regiment commanded by Colonel von Ruesch, the first Hussar commander to use the deaths head symbol. The Prussian army Hussar first adopted this symbol in 1744. The Mortis in its purest form is outfitted with two close combat weapons, and no additional armor, this allows for the fastest possible movement and a vicious close combat capability. The massive oil

I have a (tentative) release date of December 15th. If all goes well and there are no major hiccups. There is still ALLOT of work to be done. Molds checked for vent and sprue issues, Instructions, Box art, Web store and shopping cart integration, ect. Perhaps a more realistic date would be January but I like to push myself. I may releases the first one or two on Ebay if I don’t have time to work out the cart and website issues. Pricing as it stands now: Leviathan Mortis: With Scythe and right hand Claw $350.00 Optional weapons: Right hand Vulkan $45.00   The Leviathan Mortis is a all resin model kit, roughly 9.5" tall I will be working a lot of late nights to try to get this out the door by the 15 th , so please be patient with me if the date is bumped. Please understand that they will initially be produced in house so the number of kits available will be limited due to having only one set of production molds and production equipment. I will update the blog with pictures of the fi

Many people ask why is this so expensive. The short answer is that nothing about making resin models is quick or cheap. The long answer requires a more in depth look at the costs involved. Unlike many manufacturers, I do not feel it is constructive to dance around this question. An honest question deserves an honest answer. So let us pull back the wizards curtain and see what hides behind... Pricing my models is a subject that often causes me a great deal of discomfort. Every kit, every release begs the question what is a fair price? What do I need to charge to keep the doors open and continue making things I, and hopefully others enjoy. While understanding not every model will be a spectacular hit, what is a reasonable number of models you should expect to sell to amortize your upfront costs? Now we look at the ugly numbers. I already own the equipment so I will not count that in the total but I show them here for general reference. Also, keep in mind this rough overview is for a rath

Azazel will be the last of five in the series of VR5 frame Leviathan. Azazel and s ubtlety are two words seldom used together. There is nothing subtle about this Leviathan. It wields one of the largest projectile weapons mounted on any Leviathan and a whirling blade of destruction. This is the King Tiger of Leviathans Just to recap, here are the five VR5 frame Leviathans in the series.  I hope to start limited production of the Leviathan Mortis some time in December, with the crusader soon after and the remaining three in this series to follow ASAP.

Jon at Khurasan  asked me to make him a plug in unit for the track area of the Siler tank. I wanted to design something that changed the silhouette of the Siler and made it immediately recognizable as a Grav Tank. I went with an asymmetrical design that mounted larger grav units to the front and adjustable jets to the rear... I felt it gave the model a vroom, vroom, ready to race look. Here you can see the component view and how they simply plug into the track slot.. You can also see the additional nose length added to further change the lines away from the tracked version.
