It's much closer to the original than the Project Phoenix OstSol and I'm loving it.

My love for the Ostsol makes this a distinct possibility.

$2 per month gets you access to a fair amount of content either as sneak previews or exclusives. The money lets him do less real world work and more BT art

Maybe we'll see a version from IWM sooner?

Damn. Okay. I'm in. If I hated the new Ostscout, will this make me happy?

The hour when earth's foundations fled,         They stood, and earth's foundations stay;
Followed their mercenary calling,               What God abandoned, these defended,
And took their wages, and are dead.             And saved the sum of things for pay.

I would love to see a surprise lance pack with the  Ostsol, Ostroc Ostscout and maybe a redesigned Dervish. Would make for a killer pursuit lance or heavy Cav lance

The new Ostol is LEAGUES ahead of the very very old and very very bad original art. Its closer to the TRO 3085 one but still has some aspects that make it different, but yeah its a massive improvement over the original art.

The body is definitely a huuuuge improvement over the original. Just not so sure about the head/cockpit. :/

I think the upper legs on Scoggins Ost may need to be made a little longer to make it look faster!

Interesting, the only two direction I could think of going artistically is ether 1.) 'the cockpit on Loose's original looked kinda sort of like the one on the Mongoose' or 2.) 'remember when the original in Battledroids was a straight up xerox of the Macross Zentradi Battle Pod? How about we go back to that but this time original like with the Marauder!'

I can see a argument to be made for both takes, especially for the later considering the number of old hats in the community who seemingly hate every anime but Macross and only complain the new stuff doesn't look enough like a xerox ;)

Hands; looks nothing like the original; but rather like a person in a space suit. Clunky as all get-out.

The legs already appear to be disproportionately longer. The knees are bent so much it's hard to tell.

I've been quite critical of a lot of the Nuseen, but I became a patreon just for the Ostsol and was not disappointed. I'm not jumping for joy; but that is an Ostsol I'm happy with it.

I hope so. IWM’s been awfully quiet, so who knows.
Maybe that's because they have to get the art from CGL BEFORE they make the minis?
To me, Repros are 100% Wrong, and there's NO  room for me to give ground on this subject. I'm not just an Immovable Object on this, I'm THE Immovable Object. 3D Prints are just 3D Repros.

Something to bear in Mind. Defending the BT IP is Frowned upon here.

They've also been quiet in the sense that they haven't talked at all about their plans in relation to the Kickstarter.  The quotes saying that IWM would work on variants have all come from CGL.  IWM is usually at least a little communicative in their subforum here.

They've apparently been doing some stuff with their website, so not surprising.
Think about it.  It's what we do.

their Q2 and beyond release schedules will be telling, i think. wasn't expecting anything on the classics front until after at least wave one of the KS got resolved.

If it has been it’s not on the site. Q1 falls before wave 1 so I wouldn’t expect seeing anything surprising there
