1/350 War Rocket, 1/18 Pulse Units, 1/18 Atomic Artillery Shells.
The War Rocket was modified & printed from a file created for Fantastic Plastic. Their version – currently available – is in much larger 1/144 scale. I was impressed with the tiny details that this smaller print picked up, but the wings are mutated. Two have been printed, both with mucked-up wings. Another round of printing is planned with the models standing straight up to see if that fixes the issue; but since that’ll be a *16* *hour* print job, it’s a low priority.
Buttons horned in on the photography. He’s allowed. He’s old, he was unwell last night, he wanted attention, he gets it. He’s at this moment making typing a challenge for me.
The “pulse units” are actually failed Casaba Howitzers. The telescope components failed rather spectacularly. But with some minimal mods, they’ll make great pulse units for the 10-Meter Orion.
The 1/18 Atomic Artillery Shells have printed numerous times fantastically. They’re basically in production, but the rather simple stand I created for the set refuses to print right. Weird.

Perhaps contact the individual at Federation Models… maybe take over for him–he has cancer like Nyrath at atomic rockets
War Rocket Ajax has been on backorder since time immemorial. Any info on why? And where are War Rockets Beejax, Seejax and Deejax?
I would imagine that the long lead time in backorders is due to an insufficient number of people interested. Kits like these are expensive to procure, and they are done in batches. If the batch size is 20 but only 10 sales seem likely, it’s not worth doing.
That’s a guess.
Turns out the Ajax is available *now. Just confirmed FP has a number on the shelf ready to go:
