seeing as AD is gone and I was late to the party getting into AQMF I'm wondering what different models were actually made. I have the hardback rule book and have been going through it so I'm wondering if all of the unit types listed actually made it to production or if not which ones did and did not. If some one could post a list that would be great, from there I think we could try and see if someone could make 3d scans of the different existing models and maybe we can try getting 3d prints into the hands of those who missed out on some of the cooler and more specialized units.

Well, a quick list would be; all but the Dominator, Overseer, Gatherer, and stat defenses made the table - I actually saw the Dominator model at Fall In 2015 (Nov 15) but it probably was the "demo" one they'd had for some time. For the Human side, we're missing; British Command, British Cavalry, Thunderchild II (Benedict Arnold Class LIC), USA Goliath, MkIV Command tank, MkIV Flamethrower tank, Holt Gun Tractor, Field Engineering Unit (both of the last two on page 106), and the static pieces (turrets/command tower). Amazingly, everything else hit the 'streets' up to a point, although supply became limited quickly once AD started to shutdown. To ADs credit orders just before the shutdown seemed to be filled - but, that excludes all the promised KS product as well as any backing for the 'credit' notes issued for KS folks. There are other figure companies (notably Blue Moon) that have/will do the missing British cavalry & command, and its certainly easy to come up with a tractor (Italy has one in True Norths line from Blue Moon - in scale 18mm btw). There's even possible standins for the Engineers. So, the really unique AD missing pieces would boil down to the Thunderchild II (scratch build one), and the two MkIV pieces, which are very poor concept pieces (they should be scrapped, too easy to fall over), which could be fashioned from either Conqueror or other company figures. Static stuff is easy now that the license is gone - PaperTerrain already has nice turrets for large (6"+) and smaller (5"-, and ATg) and theres word from scott that he's considering doing martian ones as well. As far as the static command structure, theres plenty of possible scratch building possible to meet that one. Conquerors command tank is much superior to the original MKIV style and I've already laid out the conversion of a fuel tender (aka Conqueror also) to a flamethrower tank. So there you have it. I'm sure Shapeways could do such work, but why at this point?? The hardest side to field is the martians. A few companies are making some style so perhaps we're not in too bad a shape.  |

Could you give me a links for the Conqueror model and the others you mention? I think I'm doing ok on the human side, I have several of the Steam tank plastic models, a few doughboys, 2 MG sets, 1 rough rider motorcycle group, 1 forlorn hope, and some heavy infantry with troop carriers and a set of field guns. What I'm short on is Martians I only have a few Assult tripods, 3 scouts, 1 grenadier, and a set of lobototon slicers.

Of coarse - but, do see the entire "suppliers" tab in this forum for an extensive number of links to vendors/manufactors of product usable by us AQ types.

Another model that wasn't released is the Constructor Engine. It's described in the rule book and appears in scenarios.
Also the Mk II Wrecker variant which was described as having a "huge crane". I'm thinking of ordering an HO early 20th century crane kit and sticking it on top of a tank. The crane's tracks could be used for a trailer of some sort. I've built two Woodland Scenics HO 1914 Diamond T trucks for the Field Engineering unit - one's a tow truck and the other a re-purposed grain truck.

Yep - the Construction Engine I did leave out. Agree that the good sub for the 'huge crane' wreaker lies within HO scale stuff as well. There are several Old Glory wagons and trucks that could work for the two workstations vehicles as well. But the wreaker needs to be big.

Just received what was supposed to be a Patton Tank from a seller on the AQotMF Buy/Sell Trade FB site. It had Patton and the 5" gun but a Monitor turret. I don't know if that's how it came originally with the KS or the seller shipped the wrong turret. Will have to wait for Pz3 to produce a standard Mk IV style turret.

Well, I can't 'like' this but glad you at least got something.

I have picked up several HO scale trucks from Jordan's Highway Miniatures. Note that they are models kits and not gaming pieces. I will be basing them in order to increase their life span. They price out about the same as the Flivers. And more fiddly to build.

I have built several Jordan Miniatures vehicles and agree, they are very fiddly to build. Just picked up a couple of Woodland Scenics vehicles on the advice of someone else on the forum. I expect to try building them in the next couple of weeks. They are metal instead of the plastic of the Jordan models so I wonder if they will be a little less prone to damage from handling on the game table.

Yes They are fiddly but they do have more variety than anyone else. I just ordered a Woodland Scenic tow truck myself. Didn't know they were metal, that is great. Another option for trucks are the Russian WWII ZiS 5 trucks. I picked some up off Ebay a while back. Solid resin.

I've built some of the Woodland Scenics 1914 Diamond T truck variants. The kit design is almost identical to that of the AD Flivver but the metal is stiffer and the axles more robust, especially the front axle, which is a weak point on the flivver.

The Old Glory True North tab has some ZiS 5s & 6s, at 18mm they work fine for most AQ needs. But, I agree that the Wrecker needs to be much bigger and concurr that WS 1914 Diamond T truck looks great for this role.
