[OFFICIAL] New Stuff from GZG!

Hi all,

A little commercial announcement - we've just released the first NEW
batch
of human-force FT ships for quite a while!  The moulds were made today,
so
they are officially available as of tonight - and all you GZG "listers"
(hmmm, that has worrying connotations for Red Dwarf fans.... <grin>) are
the first to know about them!

OUT NOW are the first six releases in the ISLAMIC FEDERATION fleet; in
keeping with the Islamic theme they all feature forward-swept crescent
"wings", which by a fortuitous conincidence means that a number of you
may
find places for them in certain other fleets that you may be
building.....
not that that would have anything to do with us, of course... ;-)

All these will be on sale at SALVO this Sunday, for those of you who are
coming along - but see us early, there won't be many of each in stock!!

In cidentally, I've done these models myself (as opposed to all the
"old"
FT ships which were Paul Copeland's work, and the SV and Phalon stuff
which
are Dave Garnham's) and I have to say I'm very pleased with the way
they've
turned out - I hope you'll like them as much. Expect more Islamic
releases
soon to fill out the fleet roster, plus the start of fleets for the
Japanese, New Israelis and maybe even some UNSC stuff - I'm on a roll at
the moment....!

Please don't pester us for photos yet - we've only just finished making
the
damn things! As and when I get the chance to photograph them I'll try to
get the pics onto a website somewhere and tell you all about it.
Oh, and before you ask, no we haven't done official stats for them yet
either..... :-/

One way you listers (there's that term again...) could help is to
suggest a
few suitable class names for the Islamic ships - something in keeping
with
the background and national identity. Any thoughts?

Anyway, here's what is out so far:

FT-1001 Islamic Fed light fighters (6)* 0.95
FT-1021 Islamic Fed heavy fighters (6)* 0.95
FT-1022 Islamic Fed strikeships (3)	1.25
FT-1004 Islamic Fed frigates (2)	1.95
FT-1005 Islamic Fed destroyers (2)	2.25
FT-1010 Islamic Fed battleship		4.25

(All prices in UKP)

* We could have cheated and just renamed the GF013 and 016 fighters as
Islamics, but we didn't - these are wholly new designs.

Happy thrusting......
