Subject: [OFFICIAL] MORE NEW SHIPS....
Hi all,
We've just got the remainder of the UNSC fleet finished and moulded, no
pics yet, because I haven't even had time to assemble display ones of
most
of them! Hopefully that will be done and some pics taken sometime in the
coming week.
All of these models are now in production and available from us in the
UK.
GeoHex and Eureka will both have masters soon.
This is a COMPLETE listing of the UNSC line, including the ones already
announced - the newest releases are marked. You'll notice that the new
ones
don't even have class names yet - as usual, suggestions are welcome!

Also NOW AVAILABLE:
GF-022 Winged Interface Shuttle (x3) 0.95 NEW
(A very useful little general-purpose model, usable with any human
fleet).
A note on the fighters: when they were released, we designated the Star
Tiger and Star Sabre minis in the GF range as UNSC fighters; though
these
remain in production, I decided to do some new fighter designs for the
UNSC
fleet, more in keeping with the style of the rest of the ships in the
fleet. Both the 1101 and 1121 fighters are in the "techno-brick" style,
obviously optimised for space combat rather than being
interface-capable.
The 1102 Diplomatic Courier is, on they other hand, at least
semi-streamlined and probably capable of planetary landings. It will
double
nicely as a scoutship, although it is a little bigger than most of the
other FT scouts.
The 1103 Battle Corvette is a heavy corvette/light frigate size craft,
designed to pack a reasonable weapon punch as a small strike vessel. The
1104A is a modified version of the original FT1104 (which is still
available), with some changes to the model's drive unit and weapon
outriggers.
As with the earlier UNSC ships, all the new releases are of modular
construction and provide endless possibilities for mix-and-match
designs.... :-)
