To which I can only say, Great! I for one intend to use GZG fighters in
games
involving a certain popular SF background rather than the "official"
miniatures
because I expect Jon's stuff to be much more in scale with capital ship
minis --
_anyone's_ capital ships! Not to mention cheaper and much more easily
availabel. Hence my stocking up on GF fighters, especially Star Tigers,
P'Taah
and Kantauris fighters (um, isn't that last name a _little_ close to
their
inspiration for comfort?). And, of course, Sa'Vasku drone ships.

Now all us TV-SF fans have to do is convince Jon to expand the range
more.
We need tri-laterally symmetric fighters, rehashed A-12s (i.e.,
triangular
aerofoils) and teeny little squids to go with the above classes, and
maybe a new
kind of Star Tiger with a long nose and a gatling gun <g>.

A few other designs for other TV shows would be nice, too. Something
like a
Viper from Battlestar Galactica would be good (I've already commented
that NSL
heavy fighters make good Cylon Raiders if you cut their noses off). I
daresay the
SAAB fans -- yes, there are some, though I'm not one -- would like a
Hammerhead -- or did Jon already do that with the UNSC Hammer class?

Over to you, Jon...
