Pegasus Hobbies, fine makers of Gothic terrain have some new kits out. Of course they don't make them too easy to find on their website, as far as I can tell they're not listed at all only in this PDF catalogue.

http://www.pegasushobbies.com/resources/pdf/09%20cat%20for%20pdf%20Doc1b.pdf

First some models based on 60s, 70s space program concepts.

Mercury 9 rocket

Lunar/Mars explorer

Then some public domain SF

Slap some wings on that puppy and you have a perfect 40k space yacht.

And some Martians.

Of course they also have their gothic buildings, Galaxy Quests, War of the Worlds and other lines in the PDF.

Ha! That's an understatement!

They are ridiculously hard to find 'officially'!

Lunar/Mars explorer

Why on earth do they do that? I mean, finding the stuff shouldn't be that hard. I ended up getting half of it from Antenociti's Workshop and the other half from TheWarStore.

**Kid_Kyoto**

It COULD be they're mostly distributors and want people to buy from retailers.

Or maybe they're just incompetent.

I dunno.

They sure do make nice stuff though.

**akira5665**

Very nice retro gear indeed.

You just gave me a website to browse KK- Thanks muchly Dude!!

Very expensive though..

Gonna pimp Squadron Mail Order here. They usually run deals on Pegasus' stuff.

I'm still looking for the Galaxyquest ship though.

**lord marcus**

Ooh. Nice rendition of the Nautilus.

**cygnnus**

That Mercury 9 kit is what I'd call a Deathstrike missile! Wonder what scale it is...

Love their stuff though.

Valete,

Got a link?

**Kanluwen**

www.squadron.com

Pretty damned fine site for scale models. They're something like 25% off on most stuff, too.

**insaniak**

That's possibly the best rendition of the Nautilus I've seen.

The Mars rover, if it's anywhere near the right size, would be a cool Drop Pod.

I've tried searching for 'Ruins', 'Gothic' and half a dozen other things and can't find any of those Pegasus Hobby Building Kits.

**SilverMK2**

They do make some very good looking kits indeed...

To be fair, they are incompetent as distributors as well

I tried to get this prepainted kit, but nobody is able to get it, not even stores ordering directly from Pegasus:

The thing that should be pointed out about the Pegasus Gothic Building kits (all of them) is that they have two very nice features:

1. They fit with GW Cities of Death Terrain. Your average Pegasus building 'panel' is as wide as two CoD panels and is the same height, allowing for mixing and matching.
2. If you're not glueing them together with CoD stuff, they are completely modular. They do not require any glue (although gluing the internal pillars does give each piece some extra strength) and you can take them apart and put them back together as much as you like.

Great kits.

**Mr Mystery**

Did I just see a modular River section? That might not require me fannying about with it?

Any UK Stockists of this stuff? I totally need a River for 8th Ed Fantasy!

Great kits.

But no roofs! In any of these kits! And the main Gothic building has just one door, so there are limits to modularity. Fine models though.

And yes, Squadron doesn't stock Pegasus at all.

**Mr Mystery**

Quick question on the Gothic Ruins...what sort of plastic?

Friend of mine had the builder system, and I wasn't enamoured by the 'wangy' plastic used. Is this the same plaggy used in all their kits?

**John**

Oh man, I am just waiting on that Nautilus kit. The Goff version is too rare and expensive to find, and the revell one is garbage, this one looks really nice.

The other two kits make the main one redundant.

**Hakkeshu**

I only live 10 minutes from this place but didn't see these there. Also cool about the river parts, will have to check 'em out next time I go there.

I don't think they stock the Pegasus buildings, but they have pretty much all the generic model kits that Pegasus produces.

It's a hard plastic, similar to GW's, they're a bit thicker than the CoD walls but you can wrok with them.

Plasticard does the job for me.

Squadron does stock some of their stuff but I think it's only the military kits, not the gaming.

LOL, glad it's not just me. When i was in China building a whole city out of their stuff I tried to contact them to see if they wanted pictures, never heard a word.

I don't know about that the main building is just that the others are the add on bits to finish it.

The war store carries the kits if you need them

http://www.thewarstore.com/IMEXPlatformerHexagon.html this page has all 5 building kits if you include the bridge
