RELEASE BEGINS
There will be over 60, but most will be sprues or kits of existing ships as we try to find the way to bring your costs down.

Nick, it was.

By Chris Nasipak (Ecs05norway) on Wednesday, July 10, 2019 - 03:17 pm: Edit

Jean, I didn't send you the DWS as 2-on-sprue, did I? That was just the Azteced version of the 3788 that we never did back in the early days, I thought.

By Jean Sexton (Jsexton) on Wednesday, July 10, 2019 - 03:28 pm: Edit

Chris, no you didn't. I suspect that was a copy and paste error here -- it is correct on the shop.

The Tholian sprues also include a pinwheel adapter. The original one-piece pinwheels weren't very space-efficient and were hit hard by the price changes.

I have done a few SFU Shapeways orders, they all have arrived, and I am very happy with the service and the product. Keep up the good work.
(Those dragons are very nice, got myself 1x Adult Female Dragon, and 1x young Male Dragon, very good. I like the Federation ships I got, they are also great miniatures).

ADB Releases Ships in July 2019!

On July 10, 2019, ADB released a total of 67 new items to its shop on Shapeways, bringing it to over 1600 items. There are some styles of ships designed to work within the price increase that Shapeways imposed. You will find more "kits" which will need some assembly. Never fear, we are still adding the ship as a one-piece miniature in case you prefer it that way. We are also releasing some of the smaller ships as multiples on a sprue. We hope you find them more affordable.

The Federation gets its Fast Destroyer and Heavy Dreadnought. Each is in both the "regular" (gridded) and "Fed Classic" (smooth body) versions.

The Klingons gain their C7VB Battle Carrier. The C7VK Refitted Battle Carrier has the Aztecked designs on the wings.

The Romulans gain some of their smaller ships on sprues of two: Snipe Frigates, BattleHawk Destroyers, and War Eagles.

The Tholians gain ships that are three to a sprue, with a center adapter should you wish to use them as a pinwheel: Patrol Corvettes, Destroyers, and War Cruisers.

The Kzintis get their Medium Dreadnought.

The Orions get two Light Raiders sprued together.

The Hydrans also get their war destroyers on a sprue: one sprue of Rhino Hunters, one sprue of Buffalo Hunters, and one sprue with both a Buffalo Hunter and a Rhino Hunter.

The Lyrans and their wayward county of the Lyran Democratic Republic get their Heavy Dreadnought, both as a one-piece ship and as a kit that needs some assembly. They also get two frigates sprued together. In addition, the Lyrans get their Refitted New Heavy Cruiser, Refitted Ocelot Scout, and Refitted Serval War Cruiser Scout in the 3788 Scale.

The Andromedans get their Gun Sled to guard their work areas. They are available either as a single ship or on a sprue of three.

The ISC gets its System Defense Frigate, Contingency Destroyer, and War Destroyer.

In the Omega Octant the Ymatrians get their Supply Point, the Iridani get their Clipper, and the Sigvirions get their Escort Frigate and Light Mobile Base.

Minis challenged me thought the Orions were Battle Raiders. they are actually Light Raiders. This has been corrected on Shapeways.

By Chris Nasipak (Ecs05norway) on Friday, July 12, 2019 - 12:20 pm: Edit

Thanks for the quick fix, Jean.

Ships 1599-1606 were released a month ago but were hung up on IP review. Somehow, they have to check with SigSauer before publishing a Sigvirion ship. They appeared after I stopped counting.

By Jean Sexton (Jsexton) on Wednesday, August 07, 2019 - 02:50 pm: Edit

We have started releasing ships. Currently four are under IP review from Shapeways. These are the Federation Battle Carrier, in both scales (3788 and 3125) and styles (regular and Fed Classic). I suspect the word "ghost" in the description triggered it to make sure we weren't doing a Rolls-Royce.
