To celebrate one year of having our shop on Shapeways, Amarillo Design Bureau has decided to release a new scale of miniatures. We believe that the 285 Scale is a good one for people who want to use fighters or bombers for dogfights or shuttles for role-playing games. They will also be good display models for you to show off your favorite paint schemes. To give you a good selection, we are releasing 20 ships.

The Federation gains its F-15 "Eagle" Fighter, F-14 "Tomcat" Fighter, F-18 "Hornet" Fighter, and A-20 "Avenger" Heavy Fighter.

The Klingons enter with their Z-H "Zerhon" Heavy Fighter, Z-Y Fighter, and Z-1 "Zoran" Fighter.

The Romulans have their Gladiator-D Superiority Fighter, Tribune-D Heavy Fighter, and Gladiator-IIIK Assault Fighter.

The Hydrans have their Stinger-2 and Stinger-H fighters.

The Gorns get their G-12 "Chimera" Fast Fighter as well as both the G-18-K and G-18-KA "Serpent" fighters.

The Kzintis have their TAAS Fighter.

The Tholians are well represented with their Spider-II Fighter, Spider-V Fast Heavy Fighter, and Spider-H Bomber.

There is even an Admin Shuttle to ferry passengers and goods to and from places.

Very interesting.

Very nice!

I'm going to be "that guy" and ask for 1/285 Ground Assault Shuttles, Ground Bombardment Shuttles, and Heavy Transport Shuttles.

We should get to those. :) I am not sure when, but I am sure we will get to the specialty shuttles eventually.

Huzzah!

As long as I am winning, I might as well add Multi-Role Shuttles and the Federation SWACS shuttles to the wishlist, too.

My mental image for a Ground Assault Shuttle is one with door gunners or maybe cheek guns kinda like the Clone Trooper transports from Ep2.

My mental image for a Ground Bombardment Shuttle is rather like an AH1 Cobra or Mi24 Hind.

My mental image for a Multi-Role Shuttle is Airwolf.
