Would be interested in seeing other X ships as well. I always loved Adam Turner's (what happened to him?) DDX with the under-slung nacelles. Doesn't match the master ship book BUT we now have an NCLX so maybe the NCLX can retain the over saucer style and the DDX get the under-slung style.

Adam just disappeared and stopped answering emails. We don't know what happened to him.

Are there any plans for a Romulan KF5R (R4.5) or K7R (R4.35) soon? I would like to update my 2nd gen Romulans to the new Shapeways models, but when I went shopping yesterday I was surprised to find that these ships were not available.

By Steve Cole (Stevecole) on Monday, August 10, 2020 - 01:02 am: Edit

Will?

By Will McCammon (Djdood) on Wednesday, August 12, 2020 - 11:41 pm: Edit

Romulan KF5R and K7R are in the to-do list, but not for this month.

By Steve Cole (Stevecole) on Thursday, August 13, 2020 - 02:10 am: Edit

Thanks for updating our customers, Will!

By Steve Stewart (Stevestewart) on Thursday, August 13, 2020 - 08:01 am: Edit

Thanks Will - absolutely loved the KR in the 7000 series Tournament Cruiser #1 pack; even at that scale, there's a clear distinction between it and the Klingon, and because they are small, even my terrible painting skills are OK!

By Dan Bostwick (Danbostwick) on Saturday, August 15, 2020 - 09:53 am: Edit

Thanks for the info Will. And super job on the KRC and KDR. I was delighted to see the d-racks were added and obvious.

The new Borak ships look great and I'll be getting a small fleet. I especially like the combined CL/CW. Thanks for that.

Are there plans to release the Gunship and the Dreadnoughts?

By Aaron Staley (Awwwdrat) on Tuesday, September 08, 2020 - 06:08 pm: Edit

It is my hope the Peladine will also be fleshed out.

By Steve Cole (Stevecole) on Wednesday, September 09, 2020 - 12:25 am: Edit

The sculptor doing the Borak has been flooding my mailbox with new ships, so that looks very interesting.

I am not sure which sculptor is doing Peladine.

By Jean Sexton Beddow (Jsexton) on Wednesday, September 09, 2020 - 10:32 am: Edit

Peladine is Will.

By Chris Nasipak (Ecs05norway) on Friday, September 11, 2020 - 11:16 pm: Edit

The Gunship and BC have been sculpted and await approval.

PFs and Fighters are also in, and I'm working on carriers.

Also got some DD variants and started work on a Tug.

Don't know about DN yet. We'll see how things go.

By Dan Bostwick (Danbostwick) on Saturday, September 12, 2020 - 11:24 am: Edit

I'm looking forward to seeing them Chris!

Are there plans for sprued Paravians?

By Steven Zamboni (Szamboni) on Thursday, October 01, 2020 - 01:07 pm: Edit

First Paravian collection has been uploaded for review. (Hopefully in time for this batch - I'm way behind on everything else). Still working on the Raid Mothership set.

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

Nick, did you mean a 7000 collection a sprues of the 3788/3125 size?

By Nick Samaras (Koogie) on Thursday, October 01, 2020 - 05:54 pm: Edit

SVC/Steve Z,

I meant pairs of the 3788/3125 ships. Planning to buy several Paravians but will wait if the plan is to do sprues of them eventually. If their size/shape means it's not worth the bother than I will start ordering some now.

By Steven Zamboni (Szamboni) on Thursday, October 01, 2020 - 07:15 pm: Edit

I should know soon if there's a point to sprueing at least the smaller ones. I haven't found an efficient way to stack them yet as the Shapeways formula does not like the wings at all.

By Nick Samaras (Koogie) on Thursday, October 01, 2020 - 08:52 pm: Edit

Thank you Steve Z, I'll stand by.

By Aaron Staley (Awwwdrat) on Friday, October 09, 2020 - 11:43 pm: Edit

It would really be nice if the ships had their classifications (dd, ff, ca, etc.) In their titles. Would make purchasing a lot easier.

By Steve Cole (Stevecole) on Saturday, October 10, 2020 - 04:24 am: Edit

That isn't possible in most cases. The titles have a tiny field and Jean often has to get very creative to get a meaningful title in there. Besides the absurdity of asking her to edit 2400 items like that at one minute per item minimum (3600 minutes = 60 hours of work, not to mention the time to print a list and have Petrick spend hours writing the code by each item), there literally is no room in more than half of the cases and not enough in half of the rest.

Trust me. I want them there. I argued for them to be there. I already fought this battle and lost, because it wasn't possible to win. And in 98% of cases, any veteran SFB player knows instantly what it is so it was never really needed anyway.

As ted kennedy once said, "ah what the hell...."

By David Bostwick (Zarquon) on Friday, October 16, 2020 - 09:31 am: Edit

Will there be Borak Dreadnoughts for November?

By ART TROTMAN (Drneuro3000) on Thursday, October 22, 2020 - 05:13 am: Edit

I would love to see the Klingon B9 fast Battleship added to shapeways and I would definitely buy one each in 1/3788 and in 1/3125, as this ship is definitely in my top five ships!
