Good
and sad news everybody this week as we have the last Laserburn
classic 15mm scale vehicle code re-mastered and re-released. Yes,
that's right the last one and its been just over half a year since we
started and its been a great experience and a lot of fun too. But we
kept the daddy for last, the biggest and meanest of the whole vehicle
range. That's right the old 'skull cracker' itself the Scorpion Air
Lander. One of the very first 'dropship' type models in the early
1980's it was an absolute beast in white metal meaning it was really
heavy, hard to produce and that meant that we took it off the market.
In fact with this release today its now cheaper than it was in 2005!
The big one piece hull is now in high quality grey tone resin which
is much, much lighter. There are many dropship types of models on
the market now but this vehicle is pure space opera with its open top
and anti-gravity drive. Perhaps it was once in your collect or you
might want to add one or more of them to your collection now. The
Scorpion has come out beautifully and we are very happy with it and
we hope you all are too.
Here
are some pictures of the Scorpion Air Lander with scale image above

Resin and Metal Kit 8.00GBP
This
code contains all of the parts required to assemble one air lander
suitable for any 15mm campaign. The parts are as follows a resin
hull, a white metal cabin top, white metal landing legs and two
separate white metal plasma robo turrets to mount on the hull. This
model is not supplied with a flying base but can be easily mounted
upon one. Assembly required but its a very easy build. Dimensions
assembled are 55mm in length, 40mm width and 30mm height. A classic
Laserburn model once more back in production. Go HERE.
Thanks
for Reading.

A sort of flying LCAC... Pretty utilitarian but versatile, I like it! Lots of space inside to add a crew, which always gives a vehicle some extra character.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment. It is a rather strange vehicle but charming too. Lots of uses. You can add any crew you wish certainly. GBS
DeleteI like that it could be used in so many ways. Especially as a rover, exploration vehicle. The RPGer in me just thought of 1000 adventures with one of these. I think I would take off the landing struts and base it in hover mode.
ReplyDeleteThat is a nice idea. If you do this please take some pictures and write a small article on how it was done and I will feature it here on the 15mm.co.uk blog. The Scorpion has certainly gotten wargamers talking. GBS
