New Starline 2500 Releases

Post by **Jean** » Mon Jul 21, 2014 9:45 pm

You've been waiting for them and now they are here!

Tholian Destroyer: The Tholian destroyer is an improved version of the Patrol Corvette. The ship has phasers, photon torpedoes (or disruptors), and most importantly... web generators!

++

Orion War Destroyer: The most common Orion ship from Y175, this multi-mission destroyer mostly served as a mercenary in the service of various fleets, including the Federation and Klingons!

++

and Orion Battle Raider: A tough warship able to outfight anything it cannot evade. Worked its trade in the savage years of the General War.

All of these are lead-free pewter and include the stand. Each miniature has been quality-checked at Amarillo Design Bureau.

Enjoy!

I am pretty sure those pictures include custom stands. You might want to mention (in the item listing) that the provided stand is (may be) different.

The stands themselves appear to be stock, but they do indeed have custom base labels.

Actually, looking closely at the photos at least two of them (the Orion War Destroyer and Tholian Destoryer) are mounted on the old ball-joint stands Mongoose used to use. I'm pretty sure ADB isn't using those becuase of the increased cost.

Actually, Mongoose made the change from ball to straight and we just interited the result, but that is true and new photos will get posted today. Thanks to all for noticing this and Tony knows how to use standard bases for cart photos.

So many moving parts, if this is the only one I didn't keep track of, I think we'll be ok.

Mea Culpa

With only 562,712 chainsaws being juggled - I didn't even think about the bases.

Since I have 120 of the ball-n-socket bases set up with the firing arc decals already applied.
Whenever I complete a new mini, I add a socket and she's good to go.

That was my downfall. Thanks for al the guys who caught my mistake (

). Future cart photos will be taken with the proper (i.e., stock) stands.

Sorry if this is te wrong place, but I recall a while ago that ADB wasn't quite sure how it was going to make Starline 2500 available in the Old World. Was a decision ever reached, or do I need to track someone down to put in a special order to the UK for me?

Right now the only option is to order from the shopping cart. (The post charge it shows is the maximum possible, you'll be charged a lot less. Ask Leanna to calculate exact postage before your order if you want.)

Thanks Steve - as soon as my Klingon Fleet is finished (only 5 to go) I'll have a look.

We are exploring options here, but so far the only people interested are only interested in a deal where we lose money. We keep looking.

The second group of the new Starline 2500 miniatures is here!

Not to be a continual downer here, but ...

The BC and CA pictures are backwards. On the "starfleetstore" website. Jean is linking correctly, but the "CA" page is showing a BC and the "BC" page is showing a CA. The CA should have the center engine on the bottom and should only have four forward phasers. The BC should have the center engine on top and have six forward phasers. The images are flipped.

I noticed that yesterday, and mentioned it on the BBS. It's been fixed now.
