Thanks guys! I've always done the tutorials because it's easier to write them once than answer the same question via email 100 times. Kinda selfish, I know! Although now I've found it's also a great way to promote the kits. So it's win, win, win, I guess!

The Hornethopter is all done! It's semi-sold out at the moment, but in a few days I will be removing some people from the reserve list that never responded. So there may be 2-3 kits back in the store.

Forbidden Plastic doesn't seem to be a high-traffic area.

That will change with more great posts like we've been having recently.

The Hornethopter looks FANTASTIC! I'm really looking forward to getting one.

[FichtenFoo]

Thanks! Did you order one? (not sure what your real name is!) If so it was probably shipped this morning if in the US and yesterday for international orders.

As for more great stuff, Industria Mechanika has all sorts of stuff in the works in various genres. The Ian McQue ships, some really cool unannounced AFVs and Mecha, some large figure kits designed by Adrian Smith and Derek Stenning... and more! I'll be posting a really cool robot design and concept-artist collaboration announcement later.

[ignatz]

Haven't ordered yet. I'm hoping a check comes in before you run out though.

[FichtenFoo]

They're sold out on my Industria Mechanika site shop, but I may have a few reservations that don't follow-through. I'll hold one for you if interested.

[bullmark]

WOW the black finish is really nice . can't wait to get it even i will have no time soon to make it

[FichtenFoo]

Thanks Walter! It's more "greenish" in real life. It's a mixture of the Mr. Metal Color (buffable) Bronze and Dark Iron.

[hobbygirl]

whoa, that is so cool!

[FichtenFoo]

Thank you!

BTW, the last two first edition kits are now available in the Industria Mechanika shop:
