I saw the anime series. They're influenced by the streamlined art deco cars of the art nouveau period. The AT-43 Karman vehicles also had the same aesthetic:

Nice miniatures! Although it's closer to Dieselpunk than Steampunk (yes, it's an actual term). |

I saw that model in our local hobby store the other day… very tempting though I'm not sure I could do it justice. |

I wonder how well a 25/28mm figure would go into those cockpits of that Vanship… |

However, the soldiers on the capital ships fire steam muskets in line formation and have Napoleonic uniforms. The series is on Netflix. I love it. |

I hadn't thought of this show in a while. Wasn't there a second series? At any rate, the minis are terrific! Thanks, Armand! Ron |

Chris, at 1/72, you could probably fit a torso in, but little room for shoulders and arms. Very pulp, to me. Buck would love, no? A true 25mm or skinny 28 MIGHT squeeze in; the cockpits appear roomy. Friend has had the DVDs forever, but it's been a long time since I watched. I'd forgotten the scooter. I can almost see hunting the great, white aero-cetacean. *shrug* I'm a big boat guy, myself; wish there were models of the aeronefs. link Wiki entry for Last Exile suggests a second series with a short tie-in between, but no clue if either have been released in English.

The Leviathans game seems well influenced by this anime. |

Last Exile is an excellent anime series. Highly recommended. |

I'd love to get a bunch of the planes from that show and work up some stats for a game. |

Love these kits, and love my Karmans as well. |

The second series, Last Exile -Fam, The Silver Wing, can be viewed on the Funimation web site. Japanese subtitled in English. link It's not really a sequal. |

Wasn't there a second series? At any rate, the minis are terrific! Yes, there is. It'll be released in English in a couple more months. There's a short tie-in story (manga), focusing on Claus, Lavie, and Alvis. Despite the different focus, Last Exile: Fam *is* a sequel. Dio shows up, Alvis shows up, and even Tatiana and Alice show up. I stopped watching for a while, so I'm not sure where the heck Claus is. |
