Looking great man! Really cool stuff…

The APCs are great for all types of alien species.

IngeEenious. Especially tanks.

CmdrKiley24 Jul 2013 2:11 p.m. PST

Sort of reminds me of the aliens from Skyline.

I just wish he'd get a website with a store set up.

Vis Bellica24 Jul 2013 2:47 p.m. PST

But how can I buy these?

I think you gotta e-mail him here: ravenstarstudios@charter.net

thanks Guys , first time i sculpted figures that small , they are 15 to 18 mm for the smaller stuff.
the the floating gas bag is fun. it floats down streets looking for victims , ejecting poisons that either kill or worse paralyze . though it would seem to be a easy creature to shot and kill , the skin it tight and under a great deal of pressure, so if someone shots the creature and pierces the skin it explodes spreading the poisons in a giant cloud .:)
Mr Harold i have a ACP in the works.
these have been done for a while , just now getting them out. hope fully to expand the line a bit more.

Very, very nice models of extremely ugly alien bugs … thumbs up

Chef Lackey Rich Fezian24 Jul 2013 5:35 p.m. PST

First I'd seen of them, and I haunt SCN regularly. Ravenstar needs a press agent and an advertisers' account over here so he can get proper news stories run.

Of course, he might want a fully functioning web store and online catalog first rather than relying on emails and a blog. :)

Some lovely sculpts there, regardless.

Mako1124 Jul 2013 5:45 p.m. PST

Yep, gonna need more bugspray!

Twoball Cane24 Jul 2013 7:52 p.m. PST

Holy crap in a pita! Awesome

Any idea on prices?

Bugs, Mister Rico! Zillions of 'em!

Personal logo Mister Tibbles Supporting Member of TMP25 Jul 2013 6:40 p.m. PST

I'm confused. How do you order figs from Ravenstar? All I see is a blog.

Krazy Ivan25 Jul 2013 6:55 p.m. PST

You email him at ravenstarstudios@charter.net and ask for a price list. He'll send you the list. You email him back telling him what you want to confirm shipping costs. He sends you a PayPal invoice.

Easy peasy…at least as easy peasy as you can get without an online shopping cart.

War Monkey25 Jul 2013 7:43 p.m. PST

Very Nice I can use them for sure

Ravenstar25 Jul 2013 10:02 p.m. PST

Thanks everyone. I thought i would add something hopefully a little different. I just posted the Horrid version of a APC. called the Mother.
I am working with a friend who will help up date my web site and once thats done i will finally have some place for you to go so you dont have to deal with me and hopefully make it easier to get these and then gets some advertising here , some banners and such.
but in the mean time the blog is all i have .
Hope you like the Horrids

JRacel26 Jul 2013 3:07 a.m. PST

Looking forward to seeing the new website!

Fire Broadside27 Jul 2013 3:07 a.m. PST

I just want to chime in and say that these are spectacular looking! I'm in a 15mm slump at the moment, but when I get stuck in again these guys will be on my shopping list. :)

Twoball Cane27 Jul 2013 7:24 a.m. PST

I've ordered from ravenstar in the past… it was painless…but glad the updates coming down the pike. Thank u

The apc is cool.. reminiscent of the herculoid critter from back in the day. Lovin it

Ravenstar27 Jul 2013 7:19 p.m. PST

Funny when i was sculpting the Mother APC i was thinking about Tundro from the herculoids.:)

artbraune29 Jul 2013 2:08 p.m. PST

Let's add the pics of the APCs to this thread…

artbraune29 Jul 2013 2:12 p.m. PST

Wonder what happened? The thread did not bump up to the top when I added the APC pics… Weird…

Cacique Caribe29 Jul 2013 4:14 p.m. PST

How many variants are there for the troopers?

Thanks,

Dan

Ravenstar29 Jul 2013 8:44 p.m. PST

two at the moment , but there will be few more.

TheBeast Supporting Member of TMP30 Jul 2013 6:51 a.m. PST

I am working with a friend who will help up date my web site and once thats done i will finally have some place for you to go

Hallelujah!!!

so you dont have to deal with me and hopefully make it easier to get these and then gets some advertising here , some banners and such.

Now, Chris, chatting with you is a pleasure, but if I don't have a button to commit on the spot, actually getting something is down right unlikely. Truly, I'm hopeless.

Just ask Drew…

I'm noticing the piccies aren't on grid board. Do you have any with other things for scale?

erraticassassin30 Jul 2013 9:16 a.m. PST

Make a version of that APC with a pop-up turret instead of the rhino horn and I'll be all over it like a tramp on chips.

EDIT: also, a larger version of the gas-bag would make a pretty sweet APC as well.

artbraune30 Jul 2013 9:17 a.m. PST

@erraticassassin – that would be a winner for me too…

Ravenstar30 Jul 2013 11:53 a.m. PST

well in the works.
3 small floaters , mid range weapons.
a APC weapons Mother crawler (diffrent in shape also.)
1 large nasty looking tentacle floaty thing.:)
3 small heavy armor crawly thingys
1 very large biped humanoid horrid

mister droid03 Aug 2013 5:26 p.m. PST

Those are fantastic. A lack of convincing vehicles was the only thing holding me back from starting an insectoid army… i was just about to start picking up SF vehicles with legs, but without anime influence (Starguard cockroach tank, RAFM legged weapon platforms, some 15mmco/uk odds and ends)and modifying them into more organic forms. so, not only are these exactly what i have been hoping for, they are breathtaking little models to boot. And the ochre background forcibly reminds of an old Sears Wishbook catalog photo… Which makes me desperately want these even more. Kudos, you are granted +1 Unitentional Nostalgia.

The Horrid Grand Mother APC enters the fray…

I'm seeing games based on the anime Muv Luv Alternative: Total Eclipse with these.

Now all I need are some good Tactical Surface Fighter mechs.

Are ravenstar in the US or UK? what kind of postage are we talking here?

Ravenstar20 Aug 2013 4:35 p.m. PST

Ravenstar ie in the USA, shipping of course depends on what you order , but all models are made of resin so the shipping cost is not so bad.
as a note , all landcore models this week are 20% off if it helps.

Ravenstar23 Aug 2013 9:40 p.m. PST

Thanks for the kind words everyone. The first of next month , the web site will finally be updated and all the new models will start being loaded up and get things going on the right track. i am taking all the input to heart and hope make even better models.
there are 2 more days left on the summer sale , so get your 20% off and free models. have a great weekend.
