A while back (in October) I did a little article about the Landmaster from the Damnation Alley, and the HERO System (5th edition) write-up I did for it. I had selected this vehicle for use by the players in our Morrow Project campaign. One of the problems with such a choice was not having a proper model to use with my gaming miniatures.
Today the nice little model pictured to the left arrived in the mail.
It's made of wood, and was crafted by a company in the Philippines called eModelAirplanes.
This was a custom order (notice the Morrow Project emblem replacing the stars from the movie) produced just for me. It came unattached from the base so I could more easily use it on the gaming table.
While not as detailed as the finer plastic models (painted on windows instead of clear plastic with interior, non-rotating rocket pods, etc.), it's far better than any 'stand-in' I would use and will do the job nicely. This is especially true given that it's the correct scale.
It wasn't cheap, and it took three months. Communication was difficult at times likely due to language issues.
But all in all, I'm quite happy with the outcome.

I am coveting that Landmaster! ;)
If I may ask, how much is, not cheap?
$160 including shipping.
Yep, not cheap. However a 1/35th scale plastic one (not yet produced from what I can tell) that would be too large, unassembled and unpainted has a price tag of $125 not including shipping.
So maybe not that expensive either.
I always liked the Ark II vehicle better than the landmaster, but that's certainly a nifty game prop.
