Update 5/24/12

Hey folks, another friendly update form the labs at Mad Robot:

15mm

-Just received the 2nd wave of Harook today!  Samples are off to the painters and they should be up for sale in the store in a couple weeks.

-Started design work on a 15mm version of our Sadoukai Greatcoats.  I'll post pictures here of WIP models as I get them.

28mm

Work on the Greatcoat production molds began this week, I expect the first metal to be spinning out of those by 2nd week of June.  We should have these up for sale before the 1st of July.

That's all for now!

28mm Greatcoats PRE ORDERS

We are now taking PRE-ORDERS on our first 28mm release...the Sadoukadi Greatcoats!

"Born of hard conflict and drawn out wars of attrition, the Greatcoats of Sadoukad-16 are the embodiment of the foot slogger. From frozen arctic wastelands, to burnt out cities, to sulfuric trench-laden fields of mud, the legions of great-coated warriors are able to adapt to a variety of battlefield environments. Drawing upon what some would call “antiquated” equipment, their strength lies in their vast numbers."

Update 5/17/12

Here's an update of what's happening in the Mad Robot Lab...

15mm

• Harook Specialists are ordered and being cast this week, they should be available for sale in June.
• The next Harook release will probably be the Dropship.  The model is completed, it just needs to be printed and cast in resin.
• The TMC should get some additional support this summer if all goes according to plan.

28mm

• The Greatcoats are mastered and the production molds are being made this week.  We are shooting for a June release.  The follow-up for these will be a heavy weapons squad and should come together rather quick since a good portion of the base parts are already done.
• Planning has begun on some civilian models, a total of about 10 figures, more to come.

That's about it for now.  Thanks for stopping by and if you have any feedback on our minis, please shoot us an email and let us know.

Housekeeping and a Preview!

Right, first off, my announcement about the message board was very premature and I don't really feel like putting the effort into maintaining something like that.  I'll leave it to folks to just contact me through email or on forums to offer feedback.  Maybe it will happen in the future...you never know.

In happier news, here are a few WIP shots of the Harook Grav Heavy Weapon Platforms I am working on.  The kit will include both guns and 2 crew members as well.  No definite date on this one but I hope to have it ready for casting by mid-summer.

The Harook Special Weapons are currently at the caster, as is our first 28mm Sci Fi offering. That's all for now.

New Message Board

We just launched a new message board to help the feedback process become more efficient.  This will be a test period to see how it all goes and I'll make the final decision as to whether or not we keep it in a few weeks.

EDIT - Already had some issues, board down until I find a better solution...sorry :(

Greatcoats: Preview Of Latest Prints

Here is a picture of all the prints we needed for casting.  I still need to go over these and make sure they are up to standards but it gives a complete picture of what we're dealing with.
