At long last another review of a new vehicle. Alternative Armies released a new range of hover vehicles a short while ago. The first one to be reviewed will be the Gremlin Hover APC. The kit is fairly straight forward and consists of a main chassis, a small turret (both made from resin) and two guns made from metal. There is very little flash from the casting process on the mini. The tank itself is very detailed. The overall appearance is quite modern and IMHO would easily be a nice addition to a game like Hammer's Slammers. The chassis is about 85mm long, 55mm wide and tops at about 25mm (give or take 1 mm).
The final model from the latest delivery by Ravenstar Studios is the Lares-Class Fast Grav Tank (not to be confused with the Mercury-Class Fast Grav Tank from the same range which is stunningly similar). The model comes with a selection of four different cannons. Additionally, there is a small detailing bit that is to be glued to the rear of the hull. The quality of casting is on the same level as the two minis mentioned before. At the moment this concludes the review of Ravenstar models. There is another mini I would like to get my hands on .... a walker type tank. But this will be something to be ordered in the future. Dimensions: length 90mm, width 50mm, height 30mm
This chunky boy comes from the same batch as the Mage Grav Sled ... the Passer Grav APC by Ravenstar Studios. As can be seen it's a single cast made from resin with two additional bits for detailing the engine inlets. Again, it is a more rounded design following the pattern of the Grav Sled. Interestingly, the part underneath the hull is detailed as well. As with the Grav Sled the model needs some polishing in order to remove some leftovers from the production process. Dimensions: length 95mm, width 45mm, height 30mm
