Old Crow Models...

[supervike]

I've been looking around the web recently trying to find some 'futuristic' vehicles to go with the Urban War and Void stuff I have...

I stumbled across this site

http://www.oldcrowmodels.co.uk/index.htm

He has got a bunch of REALLY COOL vehicles...

Like:

The pricing wasn't too bad either, so I dropped him an e-mail and told him I was worried about scale (since they said 25mm). He promptly replied back and shared a bunch of pictures from Kevin Dallimore showing scale with the Foundry's FUTURE WARS figs....

Anyhow plenty of tanks, cars, hovercars, skimmers...Too cool!

I just placed a order!

[supervike]

Well, I thought they were cool!

[Malebolgia]

Thanks a lot Jim...there goes a lot of money down the drain again...:D
Those are VERY cool indeed! I must have several of those buggies and that dropship and one of those tanks and...ARGH!
Several people I showed the link to were very enthousiastic as well, so that will be one big order :D

Thanks for the link!

[supervike]

Thats a good deal! I was hoping someone else thought they were cool. The man seemed very friendly and does a great job with those....


And actually, the spaceship was reminescant of this:


FORGEWORLD Vulture Gunship

Granted the Forgeworld one is probably a bit bigger and really is Uber cool, but It alone costs 65GBP...where I spend about that much and got arm loads of cool thingies from Old Crow.

Very very nice, I had a quick look through the range and there isn't a bad one among them, I think I might have a go at one or two of these myself.

They have vehicles based on the old Hammer's Slammers book series. Cool.

[supervike]

I'm not sure what the Hammers Slammers are, but they do have some cool looking stuff there also.

I did get my order from OLD CROW...I love the stuff. Its made with a resin/plastic, and it may just be a tad smaller than I like, but it is extremely well cast.

Maybe someday I'll paint it...but i wouldn't hold your breath....LOL

If you ever don't know what something is, ask wikipedia!

these vehicles almost look like sculpting "blanks" to me. Take what they have and then flesh it out yourself with details. On their own they look rather plain and blocky to me, but the conversion possibilites seem great.

[supervike]

You are right Eric...They are rather plain and rather blocky. In the painted pics from above, there were plenty of details added. Still, for the price an excellent deal.

They also sell stowage and cargo accessory kits for each scale. Helps give them a little flare. Haven't bought any of their stuff yet, but really want to.
