Hi,
Some of you may remember a post a few months back showcasing Javelin98's fantastic work designing the ZIL Mole Rat APC:

I for one was very excited by his design and contated Andreas, which led to a conversation about Tiny Terrain Models manufacturing and selling both this design, and in the future his "Monitor" family of APCs, IFVs and other combat vehicles.
As a result of the above, I am very pleased to announce that Tiny Terrain Models will be producing and selling several variants of the SPALAX APC (the new name for the Mole rat). These will be all metal miniatures, with an expected launch in the autumn (the fall for my US friends). Prices are yet to be set, but thy will be in line with other 15mm metal vehicles on the market.
I have the 3d masters in my hands ready for creating moulds and I can share with you that the first 12 variants to be released will be the following:
SPALAX APC with comms dish & smoke dischargers(command vehicle)
SPALAX APC with ATGM Launcher
SPALAX APC with Gatling
SPALAX APC with CROWS .50 CAL
All will be available as wheeled, fully tracked & half tracked variants.
Here's couple of teezer pics:

2 further versions,the SPALAX security vehicle (Lightbar+CROWS tear gas grenade launcher) and the SPALAX Engineering vehicle (dozer blade and winch), will follow shortly afterwards (again in wheeled tracked and half tracked) making a total of 18 SPALAX variants.
I will of course provide some photos of the cast and painted vehicles as soon as they are ready, but for now, I hope the above news makes those you who admired Andreas's work as excited as I am.
Any questions, please feel free to ask,
Best regards,
Craig
