New Ship models

[Vaaish]

And we have progress. I've gotten word that the prints for the cruiser are done and waiting so in a few days we should be able to post of pics of the prints providing there were no issues. Quite looking forward to seeing them.

That should be just about the time I'm done with the concept for the frigates so look for that too!

[Dragon Lord]

Excellent, really looking forward to seeing the print!

[Vaaish]

Well good news and bad news. The bad news is the prints are not salvageable. The good news is the details are all good and clear, just the print itself has issues that looks a bit like flecks of sand randomly adhered to it and bad striations almost like it shifted a few times during printing. It's also given us an opportunity to address a couple of things that didn't show up until we had the physical models so there's been some revisions to the bridge area to bulk it up a bit. Hopefully we'll be ready to send out for a new set by the end of the week.

I didn't just want to post about the cruiser woes though. I've finished up the concept for the frigate models for Zac to start building so we should start to see updates on the progress there over the next few weeks including the top and side views.  I'll leave you with the art,let me know what you think!

That assault variant looks mean.

*makes happy gurgling sound* Looking good. Too bad about the prints,but all good things to those who wait.

Thanks guys! We're waiting to get a quote back before we send the dreadnought off again. While we're waiting it's giving us time to build the online store and finish up the packaging.

[Cneo]

Is it posible to order some ships, now?

[Vaaish]

We haven't really got a system for preorders yet, but it might be possible though I can't give a date for order fulfillment until we have prints we can cast from. I'll check on it for you.

I'm reading this correctly then, dreadnought... Is that like a normal BFG battleship or are we talking something completely different here ?

[Vaaish]

Hah yes, something different.

The dreadnought is roughly the same size as the BFG cruiser. It's a little bigger probably by 1cm. There are two versions, the standard called a Helian Dreadnought and the gun prow called the Helian Firedrake.

Eventually there will be a battleship sized craft, but that will happen after the escorts are done.

TL/DR: We renamed the cruiser to dreadnought.

Many thanks! Can't wait for them

Oh...  Thats cool an all, your dreadnoughts look fantastic but I was hoping you had a super battleship you were cooking up!
