Black Army Productions - DaVinci's Tank

I came across a rather cool 28mm tank (http://www.blackarmyproductions.com) called the "DaVinci's Tank" from Black Army Productions.  The tank sells for $25.  It has that Victorian Science Fiction theme to it.

According to the blog Monsters In the Sky, Catalyst Game Labs is looking to launch Leviathans in late Spring/early Summer of 2011.  So while we all wait, here are some renders to wet your appetite.  I am really looking forward to this game.  Be sure to check out Monsters In the Sky for Leviathan information.  There is also a nice Monster In the Sky forum dedicated to Leviathan.

Spartan Games, Dystopian Wars

Spartan Games is working on a new game called Dystopian Wars.  There are currently 4 armies slated for the game.  Kingdom of Britannia, Empire of the Blazing Sun, Prussian Empire and Federated States of America (FSA).  The Kingdom of Britannia was formed in 1801 when the Kingdom of Great Britain invaded and conquered Ireland. The Empire of the Blazing Sun was officially born in 1822 with the coronation of Empress Maya.  The Prussian Empire is probably the strongest nation currently in Europe, controlling much of the mainland, as well as the territories of Sweden and Norway. The Federated States of America (FSA) is a relatively young nation but is quickly establishing itself as a global power. The FSA came about after the end of the Civil War of 1860-64, when the States of the North and South engaged in a fierce conflict.

Steampunk, Nerf Gun

So I picked up a few Nerf Guns that are going to be converted into some really cool steampunk guns.
The big pistol is called the "Nerf Maverick" and the smaller one is called the "Nerf N-Strike Nite Finder EX-3".  These of course will accompany me on my Halloween adventures.  You can pick the guns up at a lot of toy stores, Ebay, Amazon and many other places.

Here is what I plan on doing.

• Sand off the "NERF" insignia.
• Cut some gouges into it to give it that "battle damage" look
  Take the gun apart for priming and painting.
• Spray Paint it brown
• Drybrush with gold paint.
• Use some other color (metallic aqua, silver or something) for the accent parts
• Seal the parts
• Add clock gears and bits to steampunk it out.

Here are some examples of painted steampunk Nerf guns.

RAFM - Cyclops Land Wheeler

Here is a really cool vehicle from RAFM called the Cyclops Land Wheeler.  It is for their new Ares Rising line of Victorian Sci-Fi vehicles and figures.  It is sort of hard to tell how big it is, but I am guessing it will be for 28mm.  It is currently listed as a pre-order item, so get it while its hot.
