Thanks to SPP. I've double-checked the SSD, slapped myself upside the head, and gone in and sent a revision to SVC.

By Steve Cole (Stevecole) on Tuesday, March 03, 2020 - 01:39 pm: Edit

Pegasus approved.

Waiting for new views of othres.

If I may ask, how are things coming with the 7000 scale Hydrans? (I ask for purely selfish reasons; my local group has kicked off a campaign, and I'm the last lacking my minis.)

By Steve Cole (Stevecole) on Tuesday, March 03, 2020 - 03:58 pm: Edit

Yesterday I talked with Chris who needed me and Jean to make a decision. I ask Jean to check with me when she had a moment (and I was actually in the office at that moment).

By Jessica Orsini (Jessica_Orsini) on Tuesday, March 03, 2020 - 08:54 pm: Edit

Thank you, Steve.

By Steve Cole (Stevecole) on Wednesday, March 04, 2020 - 03:05 pm: Edit

Jean and I talked at lunch, made a decision, and will advise Chris in a moment. (Jean and I go to lunch together most Wednesdays and no end of discussions and decisions happen then.)

By Chris Nasipak (Ecs05norway) on Wednesday, March 04, 2020 - 04:59 pm: Edit

Okay. The decision is made, and we've agreed on the selection of ships for the 7k sprues. I will start work on them and forward to Jean as they finish.

By Jessica Orsini (Jessica_Orsini) on Thursday, March 05, 2020 - 08:46 am: Edit

Groovy!

By Steve Cole (Stevecole) on Thursday, March 05, 2020 - 01:23 pm: Edit

At least one or two of the six Hydran 7000 sprues should be released tomorrow.

By Jessica Orsini (Jessica_Orsini) on Thursday, March 05, 2020 - 01:38 pm: Edit

WOO-HOO!

By Jean Sexton (Jsexton) on Thursday, March 05, 2020 - 02:10 pm: Edit

I have in hand the Hydran Fleet Command Collection which includes the Paladin Dreadnought, Overseer Heavy Battlecruiser, Mohawk and Iroquois New Heavy Cruisers, and the Mongol and Tartar Medium Cruisers.

Whatever else Chris sends me, I will put up tonight and tomorrow morning.

By Steve Cole (Stevecole) on Thursday, March 05, 2020 - 02:29 pm: Edit

Jean, don't you also have the 7000 battleship?

By Jean Sexton (Jsexton) on Thursday, March 05, 2020 - 03:19 pm: Edit

SVC, not yet. It didn't get finished last night.

By Chris Nasipak (Ecs05norway) on Thursday, March 05, 2020 - 05:39 pm: Edit

The plugin I use for center-of-gravity calculations, so I know where to place the stand to keep the model balanced, is ... rather slow. For a very complex model like the Paladin or Monarch, very very very slow. That was the only thing keeping it from being uploaded.

By Jean Sexton (Jsexton) on Thursday, March 05, 2020 - 06:12 pm: Edit

I'm taking the materials I need for the Hydran 7000s home with me. I'll be able to get them up tonight when I get them.

By Chris Nasipak (Ecs05norway) on Friday, March 06, 2020 - 01:58 am: Edit

All confirmed Hydran 7k sprues have been mailed to Jean.

By Mike West (Mjwest) on Friday, March 06, 2020 - 08:46 am: Edit

Out of curiosity, what are the contents of the Hydran 7000 sprues?

By Chris Nasipak (Ecs05norway) on Friday, March 06, 2020 - 12:30 pm: Edit

That question should be answered shortly as the models are released to the store. Please wait patiently.

I can confirm that the D7H Anarchist is not included in any of the submitted sprues. You will need to purchase an appropriate Klingon set to acquire one.

By Jean Sexton (Jsexton) on Friday, March 06, 2020 - 12:36 pm: Edit

Fusion Collection: This sprue includes the six most common Hydran fusion-armed ships: Hunter Frigate, Buffalo Hunter War Destroyer, Lancer Destroyer, Mongol Medium Cruiser, Ranger Heavy Cruiser, and Mohawk New Heavy Cruiser.

Hellbore Collection: This sprue includes the six most common Hydran hellbore-armed ships: Cuirassier Frigate, Rhino Hunter War Destroyer, Knight Destroyer, Tartar Medium Cruiser, Dragoon Heavy Cruiser, and Iroquois New Heavy Cruiser.

Command Collection: This sprue includes the Paladin Dreadnought, Overseer Heavy Battlecruiser, Mohawk and Iroquois New Heavy Cruisers, and the Mongol and Tartar Medium Cruisers.

Builder Collection: This sprue includes the Hunter and Cuirassier Frigates, Buffalo Hunter and Rhino Hunter War Destroyers, and the Knight and Lancer Destroyers.

And then there is the 7000 Scale Monarch Battleship as a standalone.

By Mike West (Mjwest) on Friday, March 06, 2020 - 01:05 pm: Edit

That sounds awesome! Thanks for the list.

(And, personally, I would never have expected the D7H. First, it is unique. Second, like the Romulan Kestrels, just get the Klingon ships like you say.)

By Jessica Orsini (Jessica_Orsini) on Friday, March 06, 2020 - 03:10 pm: Edit

Well there we go!

(Admittedly sad that there's no teeny-tiny little Pegasus in there somewhere; I'll have to scratch-build one, I suppose.)

By Chris Nasipak (Ecs05norway) on Friday, March 06, 2020 - 03:13 pm: Edit

Yeah, sorry, I couldn't fit it in with the rest. There's also the Genderme, the Tug, and the CLs.

By Steve Cole (Stevecole) on Friday, March 06, 2020 - 04:26 pm: Edit

We will have a sixth Hydran sprue next month and include the Gendarme, tug, Pegasus, maybe freighters, and maybe CLs there.

By Jessica Orsini (Jessica_Orsini) on Friday, March 06, 2020 - 05:16 pm: Edit

And now, I'm a completely happy camper. Thank you all, Steve, Chris, and Jean! :)

- Jess

Lady Jessica Benegesserit: I sent you an email regarding Sprue Six the Qumwatz Hagendas. Did you receive it?
