Any News from Wilco Models?

Since I bought the Planet of the Apes Icarus resin kit by Wilco Models, I have become a real fan of "Da Sarge". I understood that he was working on a resin kit of the Martian War Machine from the 1950's movie "War of the Worlds", the Cosmostrator and perhaps even a Fantastic Voyage Proteus.

has anybody got any news on these? If they are anything like the Icarus, they ought to be real gems!

I emailed Bill (Da Sarge) the other day about the War of the Worlds Martian Machine. He sent me some pics and I must say it looks pretty impressive. I've bought several of his models and they're top notch! I'm almost done with the Luna and getting ready to start on the Pan Am Clipper. My Icarus is waiting in the wings! I'm sure he'll chime in pretty soon with an update.

Steve, will you have any left for us poor unfortunates who aren't going to Wonderfest?
Any word on the Fantastic Voyage Proteus?

I know he's been working on the Cosmostrator, but hadn't heard about the Proteus. Why don't you email him? ([email protected])
Comin' Soon...

Hi Guys!
I'm laid up following some knee surgery (Hint: Do NOT wait twelve years to get a knee problem fixed surgically; It WILL NOT get better on its own, only worse) and haven't been getting to the computer too often these days; here's the update...
Martian Machine: The first batch shipped out to Cult and he'll have them in time for a Wonderfest premiere. Available directly from me as well; email or call me at (325) 677 - 7009.
Also new and premiering at Wonderfest is my first figure kit; The Captive Princess. It features a well-known femme-fatale in a familiar brass bikini. 1/6th scale, complete with nice sculptural base and chain/rings. Cost is $60.00 plus $5.00 shipping. Can't get the pictures to attach, sorry--- maybe Cult can hook me up?
Cosmostrator: machining it now; will be out in the next few weeks.
Proteus: My pal Dan is working this one; believe me, it will be spectacular! Look for it sometime next month I hope.
That about wraps it up for now; for those of you who can't make Wonderfest (like me for example...), I'll be at Squadron Scalefest in Mesquite Texas on the 22nd, with my complete line for sale... plus a few surprises!

a quick pic
Hubba, Hubba!

Hope they'll be available to us non-Wonderfester's too!
The Princess looks better than the one I found at FatMan Productions back in 2000. Time to start saving pennies!
Thanks Steve--- A combination of medication and lack of computer skills on my part makes me unable to figure out how to do that....
To PhillipMarlowe--- Yep, the kit is also available factory-direct if you won't be attending Wonderfest (though DO please attempt to buy through Cult first, he's my best distributor); $60.00 plus $5.00 shipping. My contact data is in my previous post; phone will be the best way to get hold of me for the next month or so.
Thanks for the kind words--- I'll pass on all the 'hubba-hubba's' to my sculptress as she loves to know that her work is appreciated!

I should have been clearer, I meant I hoped STEVE was gonna have them after Wonderfest, along with the usual-post Wonderfest-wallet-draining-cool-stuff! And keep us posted on the "Proteus"!
I didnt get a chance to post a painted pic... it looks even better, especially with the base
How about a few pics now?

Huzz
I'd like to see some painted pics as well! at $60 you can't beat the price!

Charlie
Only painted pics I had were on the box covers. And I sold them all at W'fest!
