Leviathans: Convention Fun With Big Ships
As if there wasn’t enough reasons to be excited about this convention season, I get to do something I’ve not been involved with in a very long time…create some new, cool eye candy for the Catalyst Game Labs booth to go along with the game.
With Leviathans closer and closer to launching, we’re making a big push of games played for both Origins and Gen Con. What’s more, we’re creating eye candy to draw people to the booth to check the game out. A few months back we contacted Behrle Hubbuch to build us two large-scale ship models to drag people into playing a demo whether they wish it or not…”can’t…resist…awesome…models!”
Below is Doug’s brilliant full-color illustration for the Grenouille-class French Destroyer, along with J. Lonnee’s orthographic based on Doug’s work.
Here’s a photo of a test shot miniature (un-painted, without a base)…
And here’s a work in progress for the ship Behrle’s constructing (it’s roughly two feet long).
When I’ve got photos of it painted and weathered, I’ll provide those…thought it may need to wait until after Origins…just have to wait and see…and just wait until I get in the photos of the 4-foot long Leviathan-class British battleship…
See ya next duty shift…

Behrle’s your man if you want an awesome model! He’s done some of my designs as minis as well. Can’t wait for this game to come out, love the concept.
That would look nice sitting in my living room. Just saying. XD
ZOMG I WANT ONE.
Ooh, nice model. Imagine if the starter box ships were this size O.O
‘Closer and closer to launching…’. Never have I been so tense over a release. All I can say is, take my money already!
SWEET MOTHER OF GOD!
That is one very talented man and assitants and / or supporters he has encouraging him, other wise, work of that caliber could not be possible. Beautiful.
I can hardly wait to see that puppy painted!
Just to be clear, Randall, were you sending that to me COD or by straight parcel post.. I’ll chip in a few extra bucks for the stamps if it will get here sooner.

Everyone back off. MINE!
:p
Not if I snag it at their Origins booth first! I have my demo seat reserved and am really looking forward to giving this game a try!
Leading to the inevitable question: “Is that a Leviathan in your pocket, or …”
Will you be making it to Historicon or maybe FALL IN ?

What are the dates and times for those conventions, Kevin?
Randall
What scale is that supposed to be? And is there any way to work in a crewman or two onto the top-deck of the finished product?
It’s 2-foot long…I’d have to do some math to figure out the scale…and yeah, we’ve been kicking around the idea for crew…just have to see if we get there.
