Ah, yes, so it was. Thanks, Will.

A suggestion for the 7000 series: we have a nice convoy sprue, with the F-H, F-J, F-L, and 3xF-S. this makes a nice "convoy core" pack. Is there any interest in a "convoy builder" pack that might have 2xF-L, 3xF-S, and something like a FT? I also note there is an omni-scale Small Ship Collection of FT, PT, PC, AC, APT and FX. Not sure you'd see the differences at 7000 scale, so for a similar group in the 7000 series it might simply by 2xAPT, 3xFT, 1xFX. Would that be of interest to either the sculptors, ADB, or anyone other than me?

I would like to see a 7000 Kzinti early fleet builder: BC, 2xCL, DD, 2xFF or a Kzinti 3xCL sprue. Those CLs are hard to build up without getting a lot of DNs and BCHs.

The Gorn CL is in a similar situation.

By Greg Ernest (Gernest) on Friday, June 02, 2023 - 08:25 pm: Edit

Agreed about the Gorn CL. Also the Klingon NCA is on a difficult sprue. You would want a few of these later in the war, but not so much the other unique hulls included.

By Nick Samaras (Koogie) on Saturday, June 03, 2023 - 10:02 pm: Edit

I think Kzinti BC+2xCL and Gorn BC+2xCL would be better than what I originally proposed.

A mixed Kzin-Gorn stand is indeed easily made, but I'm not sure if there's room in the booth for all of us.

Checking if a 3-ship stand is any more economical than a 6-ship, especially with that new gray resin. Waiting for test prints.

By Steve Stewart (Stevestewart) on Thursday, June 08, 2023 - 07:11 am: Edit

Bought the Kzinti core set with the grey fine detail material - really pleased with it (if that's the stuff you mean).

By Steven Zamboni (Szamboni) on Friday, June 09, 2023 - 01:13 am: Edit

Nice to hear, was worried all the booms would need to be redone or supported. (The EY stuff is even worse, biting my nails hoping those models make it through the test print.)

By David Bostwick (Zarquon) on Friday, June 30, 2023 - 10:12 am: Edit

I would like to request the following models in 1/3125 scale be added to Shapeways:

- Kzinti Combat Battle Tug (CBT) R5.53. There is already a cargo tug, so this a matter of adding bits to the pods.

- Klingon Battle Tug (BT) R3.14. Again, there is already a cargo tug.

- Gorn Battle Tug (BT) R6.5+8. Again, there is already a cargo tug.

- Kzinti Middle Years Cruiser (CAM) R5.A19.

- Borak War Dreadnought (DNW) RB100.4. This is the one with side-by-side turrets.

- Seltorian Light Battleship (BBL) Communique 78.

- Andromedan X-Cobra (COX) RC10.29. I need a satellite for my X-Conquistadors.

Thanks.

By Steven Zamboni (Szamboni) on Tuesday, July 04, 2023 - 11:01 pm: Edit

Z-BT, G-BT done

Z-CAM done, working on making the rest of that line look right.

X-Cobra - waiting for test print on the new plastics, seeing how a couple features survive curing.

By David Bostwick (Zarquon) on Tuesday, July 04, 2023 - 11:26 pm: Edit

Awesome
Thanks

Are there going to be 7000 Andromedan Vipers? How about the Andromedan Devastator?

By Steven Zamboni (Szamboni) on Thursday, July 06, 2023 - 10:39 am: Edit

If I recall there was a discussion as to whether there was a noticable difference between the Cobras and Vipers at that scale (and how rare it would be to have both in the same battle). I'll see if there's a cost effective way to mash them in with the Heavy Vipers.

The Devastator keeps going back to the drawing board trying to look like something other than an upscaled Dominator. I do want to at least get a 1/7K model out even if the larger ones are unaffordable. (Same with the wide Dominator from errata days.)

By Nick Samaras (Koogie) on Thursday, July 06, 2023 - 05:49 pm: Edit

I figured that might be the case with the Vipers. Worst case scenario I can use a 3125 Dominator as a 3788 Devastator.

While I have your ear Steven, any plans for 7000 Tholian pinwheels and Tholian specific shuttles?

By Steven Zamboni (Szamboni) on Thursday, July 06, 2023 - 11:12 pm: Edit

I have tiny shuttles on some of the mech links, haven't done the full size yet. (Lots of doodles, though.)

Pinwheels I can do, I'll see how many combos I can pack into a set.

(finally may get work off my back and finding so many half-finished forgotten ships in my folders...)

By Nick Samaras (Koogie) on Thursday, August 24, 2023 - 12:33 pm: Edit

Any upcoming releases planned?

By Jean Sexton Beddow (Jsexton) on Thursday, August 24, 2023 - 04:34 pm: Edit

Nick, not currently. The prices are all over the place due to the new materials, and I need to catch the old stuff up.

By Nick Samaras (Koogie) on Thursday, August 24, 2023 - 05:17 pm: Edit

No problem.

By Nick Samaras (Koogie) on Monday, October 02, 2023 - 05:48 pm: Edit

Anything being released this month?

By Steve Cole (Stevecole) on Tuesday, October 03, 2023 - 09:47 pm: Edit

One of the sculptors sent me a new ship from a new empire, and I told him to rock and roll.

By Nick Samaras (Koogie) on Wednesday, October 04, 2023 - 12:40 pm: Edit

This is most welcome news

By Garth L. Getgen (Sgt_G) on Thursday, October 05, 2023 - 09:58 am: Edit

Quote: "I told him to rock and roll." Will he jazz them up? Or make them funky? Hope they turn out classical.

I would like to pick up some of the new stuff Steve Z mentioned above. It would be great if those were loaded before the Shapeways sale at the end of November (assuming they do it this year).

Are there any drafts in the works for Hydran base and battle stations?
