How big are the turrets anyways?

we've got the prints on hand for the cruiser now. Mostly looks good but we need to get them into resin to really see what we've got. Unfortunately they didn't send us the beam turret so we are having to get that tracked down. Hopefully it won't take long to get squared away.

These need to be bought, they are absolutely stunning.

I'm getting overwhelmed by cool stuff. So much for my salary for the next ten years.

Haha, there are renders earlier in the thread of the ship.

Unfortunately we might have some issues with the prints. There's some weird graininess happening that we are looking to either clean up on the masters or after they are cast but we may need to reprint them. The good news is the detail is clear so if we have to reprint it shouldn't have any issues.

I'll post pics as soon as I get some to post.

Well good news and bad news. The bad news is the prints are not salvageable. The good news is the details are all good and clear, just the print itself has issues that looks a bit like flecks of sand randomly adhered to it and bad striations almost like it shifted a few times during printing. It's also given us an opportunity to address a couple of things that didn't show up until we had the physical models so there's been some revisions to the bridge area to bulk it up a bit. Hopefully we'll be ready to send out for a new set by the end of the week.

I didn't just want to post about the cruiser woes though. I've finished up the concept for the frigate models for Zac to start building so we should start to see updates on the progress there over the next few weeks including the top and side views. I'll leave you with the art,let me know what you think!

Update from us today. Looks like the next round of test prints are on their way and should show up soon. Hopefully that means one step closer to production. In the mean time things are crazy busy putting the final touches on the website and store that we'll be launching at the same time as the first wave of models.

I do have something to show, that's the pencils for the dorsal and starboard views of the frigate I posted a while back. These are more refined sketches that will be used in production. Enjoy!

Seriously, just... I really, really want so many of these. Firestorm Armada ships are gorgeous and the game is fun, but these just have a vibe that grabs me so hard.

And we have progress! The test print pieces arrived and Zac sent me a pic. They look great so we'll be printing the rest of the bits ASAP! (on a side note, the website is ready to go, just have to flip the switch when we've got models in stock).

I've attached a pic of them in their uncleaned state:

As soon as these are ready to go, they are going to the top of my list. Gorgeous doesn't even begin to describe them. Be proud of these, they are truly superb.

The only problem I have is deciding the paint. B5-tribute colours (and then Narn or Earthforce) or traditional grey-red-gold Blanche tribute colours... Decisions, decisions!
