I have the master metal cast in hand and am cleaning the lines for production molding I plan on doing the initial run in metal as it is much quicker to get quantity done I am doing resin bodies metal bits along side initial run as I personally want mine in resin as they are quite a hunk of metal. -- Price will not be different so if you also want resin drop me an email and let me know. I have always planned these to be the 32mm version and doing a smaller version later for the 15mm -- I do quite like the way they look next to the 15mm. I took a photo next to a more popular brand that will help establish size of this model as well. Retail on these are 12.50 and will be doing a box set at a better price ( 5 for $50.00 USD ) There is another weapon option that is being worked on that I had planned on adding into set instead of the Tesla arms -- I am willing to swap out the Tesla for a rifle guy or another set of missile pod arms for those that pre ordered a unit the new arm will be available by itself to those that pre ordered at a discounted price once released. The Paint work on these is not the greatest – I did not clean mold lines -- the final result of production cast should be cleaner than photo – My Goal was to show that the product does exist and is going into production Monday -- I also like to show the worse case of mold lines as I picked out the best cast to clean and the worst to paint. A personal thank you to all that did advanced orders on this and sorry it took so long to get to this point. micropanzer.com Jason Some people have asked about the hood as they dislike it so below is what model will look like with out it glued on
Even though a 32mm model looks good as a 15mm mech
Last up is next to a marine

Ooh – very heavy metal indeed! Like the design, practical and non-nonsense in style. |
Grumpy Monkey | 14 Jan 2012 1:37 p.m. PST |
Those are great for 15mm Mechs |
rolgan | 14 Jan 2012 1:38 p.m. PST |
Jason, I hesitated on pulling the trigger on these as I wanted them in 15mm, but you're right they make lovely 15mm piloted suits. I hope they sell like hot cakes and when my budget recovers, I'll pick some up. Awesome stuff. |

I pre ordered, when do they ship? |
Micropanzer | 14 Jan 2012 2:09 p.m. PST |
They ship as soon as Caster cuts and spins molds and ships to me -- I am shipping overnight to them Monday |
Angel Barracks | 14 Jan 2012 2:16 p.m. PST |
Sorry, I am being dim. Are they conversion kits for Heavy Gear models? |
Insomniac | 14 Jan 2012 2:34 p.m. PST |
I am looking forward to these becoming a general release
I NEED some of those for my Grymn :)!
I just followed the link and ordered a set of 5 :)
the power of pictures! |

Those are awesome. Congrats! |
Moqawama | 14 Jan 2012 3:30 p.m. PST |
They're REALLY captivating, although I would have opted for less humanoid feet. But that's a very minor issue. |
JRacel | 14 Jan 2012 4:26 p.m. PST |
OUTSTANDING!!!! Jason, do you have a preorder listed for me? I think I sent you an email forever ago about this preorder and the Stomper. If not, let me know since I would love to get a couple of sets. Jeff |
Micropanzer | 14 Jan 2012 4:27 p.m. PST |
No they are not conversion kits for heavy gear -- I asked for something like a scope dog kit mixed with A gijoe Cobra Snake suit I had as a kid with a Soviet feel. The feet are in part due to it being a 32mm battle suit. more than a 15mm mech. Could always cut the feet off and convert to what ever look you like -- would be easy with resin kit. JRacel -- YES I do have it in the count.

Little Big Wars | 14 Jan 2012 5:10 p.m. PST |
The hood gives it more of a Standing Tortoise look, so I'm definitely a fan. |
Psyckosama | 14 Jan 2012 5:12 p.m. PST |
okay, the 28mm ones are perfect for being "Heavy Gear" like battlesuits
|
JRacel | 14 Jan 2012 5:23 p.m. PST |
Thanks Jason. I must say, I love the hoods. Since we are discussing great Micropanzer products, I got a lot of the Walkers assembled over the holidays to add to my vehicle comparison project. The running version is a little challenging to assemble, but the action in the final poses was worth it. Figure if you are going to order some Russian suits, might as well add a few walkers to your order as well! These will be added soon to the project along with a ton of other new stuff.

Alex Reed | 14 Jan 2012 7:33 p.m. PST |
The Left Legs on some of those smaller walkers are not right. They look to be double jointed, which there is nothing wrong with, but using such a backward joint on one leg, with a forward joint on another leg will produce a hugely irregular gait that will be very clumsy and slow. |
Micropanzer | 14 Jan 2012 7:51 p.m. PST |
The running version is an out of production model To me it is not a walking but a full run moving fast as possible not like a at-st but more like an ostrich. |
JRacel | 14 Jan 2012 8:07 p.m. PST |
I agree with Jason, they are not walking, but rather running. The joints are fine, just need to have the right mental reference to understand them. The running poses were assembled to make them look like they were moving fast. It will show up better once I get them painted. Two of them are leaning into the turn while running so they may also look a little off in the pictures from this angle. Jeff |

Sweet brother. Il be using them for 15mm |
flintlocklaser | 14 Jan 2012 9:21 p.m. PST |
These guys look phenomenal, although I'll be waiting for the 15mm ones as I want battlesuits, not mecha for my 15mm stuff. Jason, do you have a rough timeframe on the 15mm suits? |

Just ordered
I like the size compared to 15mm! |
Micropanzer | 15 Jan 2012 2:57 a.m. PST |
I have a few project ahead of the 15mm versions -- Stomper, krystrial Soldiers. SAS command and support units, Jetbikes |
dwartist | 15 Jan 2012 3:47 a.m. PST |
delighted these have finally made it to production. Thanks for persevering! |
Lion in the Stars | 15 Jan 2012 7:40 a.m. PST |
I think I just found my first Micropanzer order. *Very* nice minis! |
Der Krieg Geist | 15 Jan 2012 2:51 p.m. PST |
Jason, MSN hotmail has a brain seizure when I try to email you at Micro Panzer. Can I PM you here or just type on this board about my order? Eddie |
Micropanzer | 15 Jan 2012 4:21 p.m. PST |
you can pm me that is fine -- Jason Tried to pm you but can figure out how can email micropanzer@micropanzer.com as well |
Der Krieg Geist | 15 Jan 2012 5:51 p.m. PST |
Jason, I can't PM you as you are a Basic member. I will try e-mail again. :) |
Chef Lackey Rich | 16 Jan 2012 12:28 a.m. PST |
Tried to pm you but can figure out how As Der Krieg Geist mentioned, you're still a basic member here, so you can neither send nor receive PMs. If you want my advice, spend to upgrade – it's at most $2.50 USD a month (less for longer stretches at once) and being able to talk privately on-site is a big bonus for a small business. You can also list stuff on the Market boards, which can be helpful for cleaning out the games closet or thinning overstocks. On an unrelated note, your Sovs have me looking at my old copy of Mekton again. There's one from years gone by. |
Space Aardvark | 16 Jan 2012 1:28 p.m. PST |
I love the Russian power armour! No skulls or frippery! Just a cool mecha suit. |
