Anyway there I was fiddling away with my little mound of plastic bits. Look what turned up…

Was thinking of using it as a Heavy Tank for Ogre. Slightly inspired by the G-Tanks from Monsterpocalypse (who themselves are inspired by something else, I'm sure)

In other news, the Kadeshi.. oops… I meant Nebula Raiders fleet is coming along nicely with the addition of the Fuel Pod aka "Escort Carrier" and the Multibeam Frigate aka "Superheavy Beam Destroyer"

Also, I finally got the masters of everything I've been working on for the past few months out to the casters for mastering. Here's a group shot including measurements of all the ships:

The plan for these is to release them at Salute, will post more news when plans finalise, but for those who are waiting, they are finally moving and they *will* be released within the next few weeks.

Thanks for looking, and leave some comments or criticisms!

Looks good ! Nice work ! thumbs up

Jakar Nilson03 Mar 2009 6:27 p.m. PST

Wow. That tank looks like an Aller from Heavy Gear!

Space Monkey03 Mar 2009 6:30 p.m. PST

Really nice designs there… I like the beetle-ness of the fuel pod… reminds me of Chris Foss.

It does look like a Heavy Gear Aller tank…only not butt ugly!

Covert Walrus03 Mar 2009 10:51 p.m. PST

Nice tank, dude. And those ships are looking excellent as well – Just wait till I get a job . . . :)

Nice Very Nice

I like them all a lot. Ok, so… I need a bigger space fleet, and to buy at least a dozen of those little tanks.

man, just when I thought I had enough minis… silly me!

TimHerr04 Mar 2009 7:44 a.m. PST

That tank is very cool. Makes me wish I had opponents to use it against. grin Or that it was 15mm.

And the ships seem to get better all the time. Ditto on the opponents.

So about when will they appear for sale on your site? I'm seriously digging the LGH lookin' ships, as well as the the "Corps" ships!

ZandrisIV04 Mar 2009 11:01 a.m. PST

I just had a look at the DP9 website, and it *does* indeed sort of resemble the Aller tank. Probably because of the barrel for the most part.

@Darby – The plan is to release the ships at the end of this month at Salute, keep an eye :D

@TimHerr – I don't build 15mm, sadly, I seem to hit completion problems with bigger stuff, which probably explains why the Terran Diplomatic Corps never got its long awaited battleship :(

Darby E04 Mar 2009 11:38 a.m. PST

It's never too late to finish it up though! :D

I'll be waiting on pins and needles, though can't hop across the pond for Salute.
…one of these days though…

Sargonarhes04 Mar 2009 2:58 p.m. PST

The Aller isn't such an ugly tank. What am I saying? I'm a CEF player.

Nice work there. I just realized what your escort carrier reminds me of.

Very attractive. The tank is unusually styled enough to be interesting. Is the model tracked, or is it nominally grav?

Eli Arndt26 Jul 2009 7:52 p.m. PST

Zandris,

Any news on the "Imperial" vessels? Honestly, a fleet with that character would be my "dream fleet".

I think Zandris is taking a long and well desreved holiday at the moment-until September IIRC

Eli Arndt27 Jul 2009 9:43 p.m. PST

Realized that after I posted…:)
