"Khurasan releases Iguana all-terrain combat vehicle" Topic

We are very pleased to release our latest 15mm science fiction vehicle, the Stannis Iguana, an all-terrain combat vehicle.

This is the military version of the rugged Explorer all-terrain truck -- the Iguana features an armoured cabin and a dual turret-mounted DEC, as well as a chin mounted light pulser.

The kit itself is resin with pewter suspension arms, which are very posable. Gamers who mount their vehicles on bases will be able to make an extremely dramatic mini-diorama with this! The arms have three different preset positions -- low, elevated and high elevated -- or the modeler can just shave the notches off for those positions and pose the legs as he or she pleases. The bogies also swivel left and right so the truck can be depicted in a turn, for instance.

Seen above are the civilian version of the truck, the Explorer, and its police cruiser variant, the Charger, which mounts the light pulser on the roof rather than the observation bubble. Both parts will be provided with that kit when it becomes available in a month or so.

Painted by kunzomat -- vielen dank kunzo! The kit is available now, at the link below. Look for the Explorer/Charger kit in about a month. Happy gaming!

Oh my…

That is awesome!

And why do I carry a wallet!? I never have any money in it and do you have to wonder why!?
Very nice!

WOW that is a bit special…

Very nice!

And why do I carry a wallet!?

Huzzah, I get to scratch the #1 want off my list, thanks Khurasan!

That's a cracker! Wish I'd have got that one!

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!

Hottie !

I will have to get a pair of them some day..

Very nice indeed!

Ditto. Very cool design.

Oh, yeah! Been waiting for these. BTW, can I set up some kind of installment payment plan?

I'm sorry Pat, I'm not really set up to do that.

Enigmatic Baron, it's on my site, at the bottom of the menu:

Uggh!! I thought I was going to take a break from buying 15mm Sci-Fi stuff. I had planned on painting some figures before I bought more. Silly!!

another homerun!

Order placed.And there will be another placed next month for the civilian versions.

I am so weak…

Oh yeah, release the super cool toy when I'm broke…

very cool mini.

Looks like the assault on the chocolate factory is going according to plan!

That's a very refined design, it looks like a plausible vehicle. Wish you'd released the civilian version first, that's what I am after.

Any chance I could order several of just the body/turret without the wheels and wheel assemblies?

This fits the bill for what I have been looking for but I want to make it a grav vehicle and don;t have a need for the wheels.

That is superb in a modern, cinematic kind of way.

Well done all round.

Excellent work.

"Oh, yeah! Been waiting for these. BTW, can I set up some kind of installment payment plan?"

Actually paypal might help with that. They keep telling me to pimp their financing options.

BTW Amazing vehicle. I might have to get the civilian version.

Wow!! So good that even Porfirio Rubirosa wants one!!!

(Sorry PR)

I don't know which I like better, the military or the civilian variants…

I have Khurusan, Antenociti and a few Micropanzer vehicles. Also a few Critical Mass and Old Crow. I'm actually a big consumer of this stuff! So, shock horror, yes I do buy. And when I do it's often 6-8 vehicles.

I don't know which I like better, the military or the civilian variants…

There's only one sensible answer Leland:

Pawn Shop Clerk: You know your weapons, buddy. Any one of these is ideal for home defense. So uh, which will it be?
The Terminator: All.
Pawn Shop Clerk: I may close early today….

They all look great.

PS the paintjobs on the samples are excellent as well: the dirt on the wheels and legs is very convincing without being overdone. Chalks/weathering powders, I'm assuming.

"I don't know which I like better, the military or the civilian variants…evil grin"

When in doubt, get both.

;)

Best,
JBR

Paintups are very good, absolutely, but I think the dust on the wheels is a bit overdone, at least for a display model.

Another gem to order.

Any word on the Nova Republic Cossacks?

Dragon Gunner, very soon, and there are some bits that will be released to go with it.

Porfiro, I think you can see the wheels pretty clearly -- actually you can arguably see them even better than if the tyres were black.

Perfect for Monster Truck racing too! Added tothe wish list.

Another winner from Khurasan!

Porfiro, I think you can see the wheels pretty clearly -- actually you can arguably see them even better than if the tyres were black.

I don't know what the beef is. The wheels look highly detailed. And well painted. And great.

John T

This is a must have for me. I love the design and the paint job. The weathering is so dang cool. Good work

I guess the concern is that the chalk weathering obscures detail? It might just a tiny bit, but that's pretty much what the wheels look like.

Those wheels looks to be pretty realistically painted…

-Eli

Thanks Eli. To be fair I think the owners of those trucks would wash them before putting them up for sale. But I think gamers are getting a decent view of what the pieces look like.

No doubt. Seems clear to me especially as we have seen the prints and the render too.

You stuff has a good rep for quality.

-Eli

Jon,

I've been around enough real heavy construction equipment and some actual AFVs running around on a test field to recognize that the artist did an excellent job in providing this new model with a very believable weathering job while preserving a clear view of the high level of detail the sculptor delivered to same.

I second Eli's assertion as to the quality of your wares and your service.

Agreed with Leyland (and others). Weathering and the wheels. Don't understand the issue…

John T

And when the Explorer/Charger is painted, it won't have the dust so you'll be able to see the wheels.

I did a lot of advertising design for Fiat a few years back and part of the photography set-up on the new cars was to brush the tires quite heavily with chalk so that the tread would show up. And it was a regular job where we still had to change the contrast using photoshop as the tires looked too black on newsprint. So, even brand new real vehicles actually get a bit of weathering to their wheels.

Looks good!

In case anyone is curious as to how this model comes, here's a pic I took of mine with all the parts out of the bag:

Jon at Khurasan wasn't kidding when he said that this thing is multi-poseable. It looks great, I'm super happy about this model!

Mine just arrived, and it is an amazingly well-cast miniatures. The resin body has really intricate detail. I can't wait to paint it up!

Mine arrived yesterday and they are great castings and look to paint up easily and well.
