Just been reminded of this company by a post on BTS, so I thought I'd make it a generic manufacturer thread now.

The Remora is still available (4th edition now), as are other Ian McQue designs, including flying buoys, deck crew, and a newly-released smaller flying craft.

They also do lots of other kits of fantasy/concept art (the kind of thing you see on Deviantart). They're all pretty expensive, as you'd expect for limited edition resin, but by all accounts they are beautiful, high-quality kits. Here are just a few examples:









(Note that Sasha is available in 1/35th, 1/32nd and 1/24th so she'd go with just about any armour or car kit)

There's a website that they do too. It's much like this one or BTS. There is some stuff on there that is truely unbelieviable !!!!!!  There are also some builds of the products, too. I highly recommend it.  There is a long build of an airship that is fantastic !!!   I recommend.you all check it out. I'm sorry but I can't post a link but I don't know.how.

I second that. Why not offer one more scale, 1/20?

There's a discussion about that very thing on the IM forum. IIRC, Fich thought the 1/20th market was too small to risk it. You could always go aover there and try to change his mind though!

What, register on one more forum?  Might do just that. Got some serious projects in my head re the MaK universe and that welder next to the Falke would be just... :wub:

Wouldn't 1/24th scale figure in a 1/20th scale set up come out just a little on the short side? She's a girl, girls are usually shorter than guys, should work out fine. Makes a better point if the little short girl is out doing the guys.

But presumably she's already scaled as shorter than a 1/24th scale guy....

Actually, there seems to be some debate on the IM forum about the scaling of this figure anyway.

Ain't that cool? Got the Hornethopter box waiting for just a moment of inattention on my part to hop from its place in the closet onto my workbench.  ;D
