I saw the pewter castings of the Plasmas (R, S, adn F) and the drone. WOW
They are as nice in 3D as in the images SVC has posted to the BBS. As for the fighters, I saw bronze masters of the Federation F/18, the Klingon ZY, the Romulan Gladiator (one with a Pl-F, and one with a Pl-D), the Kzinti TAAS, the Tholian Spider, and the Hydran Stinger. These are incredible minis and everyone is going to want entire squadrons of each of them.
We also had the "miniatures seminar" tonight. This is where SVC adn any interested parties sit down and discuss the ADB miniatures line... what new minis are in progress, which ones are finished, what needs to be sculpted for upcoming expansions, and what those present at the seminar would like to see.
More info on this seminar later, but suffice it to say that good things are on the way.
And before the questions begin to fly:
SVC saw the master for the Federation LTT, the Metal Destroyer engine, adn the Juggernaut...
The LTT: This was created as an adaptor to link the existing, "Zocchi" tug pod with the existing NCL. It works, but SVC has asked for a small change. Rather than an adaptor, I am going to create a new, sculptable, metal tug pod to mount beneath the NCL. It's a fairly simple addition and will be completed in a week or two and in the mail to ADB.
The metal Destroyer: This piece is approximately 75% complete. All that remains is the addition of a few details. SVC mated if with both the CC saucer adn teh CF saucer and was well pleased with the results. It will be finished and sent in at the same time as the LTT.
The Juggernaut: Probably the largest, most complex piece I've done. SVC was satisfied with the level of detail, but a few questions were raised. I bit of reworking is required before a mold can be made. These modifications should also be completed within the same two week time frame.
Regular updates will follow, along with photos once I get home.
