Re: New IF ships

More news on the new ships......

We got the first master mould done yesterday - and a couple of
production
moulds today.

Bad news is the IF carrier needs some re-working on one of its major
components, and will be another couple of weeks yet.
Good news is that the IF cruisers both came out well in pre-production,
and
should be production-moulded and available in a week or so. Ditto for
the
new NAC fighters (that really don't look much like X and Y wings at all,
no
sirree...) and the NAC Lancer (fast strike corvette).

Provisional codes/prices will be:

FT1007	Islamic Patrol Cruiser		2.50 UKP
FT1008	Islamic Heavy Cruiser		3.00 UKP
and eventually: FT1013	    Islamic Carrier		10.00 UKP
(provisionally)

FT101B	NAC new light fighter (6)	1.00 UKP
FT121B	NAC new heavy fighter (6)	1.00 UKP
FT123	NAC Lancer (3)		2.00 UKP

BETTER news is that the Japanese DD, the "unallocated" (but probably
FCT)
DD, and the UNSC Escort Carrier are now production-moulded and
officially
available!!

Codes/prices are:

FT1305	Japanese Soyokaze class DD (2)	2.50 UKP

FT1405	Free CalTex (?)  DD (2) 	2.50 UKP

FT1117	UNSC Escort Carrier (CVE)	4.00 UKP

I'll try to get some photos of them taken this weekend, and put up
somewhere ASAP.

Oh, and for any of you who have NAC forces in 25mm for SGII, we've now
got
five new NAC Marine figures out - all with L7A3 rifle, poses are:
standing
firing, kneeling firing, charging hip-firing, running hip-firing, and
prone. At the moment they're all "B" suffix variants, with visors raised
-
"A" versions with closed visors to follow.
