The B-10 mini is coming. I'm not sure when, but I would assume sometime this year. The renders looked very much like my suggestion art, so if you liked my take on it, you'll probably be pleased.

Not bad at all...tho I prefer your take more in some areas. Bridge, recessed sensor/surrounding details.
I do like the stern additions/impules engines, drone racks...might have to pick one up when I order CL46.
The E5 turned out very nice as well...so how far behind can the E7 be? Hell, you may even be able to sell "E7 parts"...basically the wings as an option. _________________ Suppose you were an idiot. And suppose you were a member of Congress. But then I repeat myself.-- Mark Twain |

E7 isn't in the current batch.
I did submit a suggestion drawing for it (as I needed to plan my ideas for it at the same time I did for the source E5), and it seems like a logical addition, eventually.
You could indeed kitbash one now, if you wanted to. Take the new E5. Remove the little "winglets" from the side of the rear hull. Take the wings from the new F5W and graft them on, with some putty to fill things out and add volume to the bottom of the rear hull and you'll have what I suggested. _________________

But the Gorns...greebles for the sake of greebles.
The scales just look...silly? Thrown on? Less-realistic? Pass.

Maybe it's a step toward 'baroquing' (from Banks' Culture books--extra hull complexity fractalized down to molecule scale that's thrown on to slow down enemy scans)
Matter of opinion of course, but I like the look of those scaled Gorns enough that I'm tempted to get some even though I don't think I'd use them for gaming (minis are too hard to stack) |

I'm with pinbot... the original Gorns were bland... with Scales and some greebles put on them, I'm actually interested. I'll be buying some Gorn ships here pretty soon (I'm a Fed player, so I probably won't PLAY them... but I'm going to buy them ) _________________

Never painted a single ST2400 Gorn.
I know, shocking! isn't it?
I do have over 50 of them (most acquired through trades and as part of bulk ebay acquisitions), but never developed a deisre to paint them.
Last night, I completed priming of my ST2500 Gorn Fleet Box... and placed the first bit of paint on the first mini.
Doing a BDD first, form start to finish - justto test my proposed color scheme. Photos to follow... _________________

I just finished up my first 3 Kzinti ships, a Battlecruiser and 2 Frigates. I decided that the standard red was boring, and chose to copy the colors of the Centari from the TV show Babylon 5.

That is a really cool look you've come up with there. Those look great. _________________ Let's get DANGEROUS!

Definitely a different take on the cats, but you executed it well. _________________
