Ok, that's really cool. Any more info on it?

Oh, HELL yes!

We want parts, and even the eagles, AND the car!

That is a work of art. Are those canvas bags over the foot mechanism? If so, nice touch.

I can't wait to see this monstrosity painted. Gleaming brass eagles, rust on the rivets, mud on the feet, smoke belching from the stack, coal dust staining the rear section…

Should have speakers on it to blast Prussian marching songs!

That is pretty damn suave!

Ah, just saw on LAF this will be coming from Dragon Bait.

'No idea' is reported on price, and I dread shippage costs cross-briny, but…

Apparently from FB, 'This Prussian Behemoth will be part of the Venus 1888 range. This was my first full resin kit.'

Didn't start small and work up, did they?!?

That should give them puffed up Venetians something to worry about.

Hi Folks,

Thanks for all the great comments. It is quite a monstrosity. I have some folks I am in correspondence with that may cast them in England for the sake of shipping.

The Venus 1888 Kick starter starts Jan first and ends March 1st. Everything in the KS should ship within the month.
