We are very pleased to announce that we now have a 5-pack of 1/100 scale/15mm sci-fi cars now available for pre-order!
$20 USDusd gets you one each of (left to right) a Metro-Coup, a Cruiser (which comes with optional light-bar to make it a Police Cruiser), a Mini-Van, Super Sports Car, and Vintage Sports Car (pictured in front). Each resin model comes with both metal wheels and grav/vectored thrust nozzles so you can have either ground cars or those flying ones we were promised oh-so-long-ago!

As usual pre-order items are slightly discounted and after the pre-order is over the price for the set will be raised to it's "normal". Note: flight stands are NOT included.

They are the mutt's. Just what I need for Redemption City. |

Awesome. Must pre-order soon. I think the cars are very versatile and I would have no problem using the wheeled versions for everything from a zombie apocalypse to near-future and beyond. |

OK. Some of these are just SCREAMING to be turned into taxis, limos, Police cruisers, express courier company vans, and pizza delivery vehicles, so somebody's got to get busy and issue some waterside decals

Each resin model comes with both metal wheels and grav/vectored thrust nozzles Um, if those grav/thruster nozzles are the right size, this means one can convert Matchbox or Hot Wheels die cast cars into grav cars

Very glad y'all like them! Leeland, based on the few hotwheels I have the grav/VT pods are about the diameter of the wrims (or the wheel without the tire) so in most cases will probably be small. But they might work. |
Eli Arndt | 13 Mar 2014 12:34 p.m. PST |
Very nice! I like the clean lines and that Sid Mead sort of flare. |

Eli, you're making me blush. Syd Mead is one of my heroes. :) |

Yessir, Mr. Oines has done a fab job designing these cars, and he also worked his magic on some more that are in the pipe! |

Leeland, based on the few hotwheels I have the grav/VT pods are about the diameter of the wrims (or the wheel without the tire) so in most cases will probably be small. But they might work. Um, all I have to do is add a little greebly bit inside each wheel well

Oh yeah welcome to the mean streets of Terra 5, those are going to be great! :D |
Darkest Star Games | 14 Mar 2014 8:54 a.m. PST |
Oh, and each car type comes with it's own wheel design except that the minivan and the cruiser share the same ones. The light bar for the Cruiser is an optional part as well, so you don't have to put it on if'n ya don't wanna! |

Order done. Ended up ordering two sets. |
BlackWidowPilot | 15 Mar 2014 4:19 p.m. PST |
The light bar for the Cruiser is an optional part In which case I can see attaching it to the minivan to build a paramedic wagon or fire department battalion chief's command vehicle
or if amber lights as the local Animal Control Department's vehicle for dealing with the really *special* *exotic* "house pets" gone astray
