Off to the shipyards …

Several British spaceships were today spotted making their way towards the Brigade shipyards, ready for moulding. Most of the fleet were there, although the new Fisher-class dreadnoughts were conspicuous by their absence (the real reason ? I left the Fisher file out of the package I sent to the printers … :-(). We’ve also had to get the fighters reprinted (I got the scaling all wrong and they were far too large – not doing very well, am I ?).

But the rest of the fleet is looking good now that the prints have been cleaned up and the gun turrets attached. Let the mould-making commence !

GB-1
(top to bottom) Heavy Cruiser, Battleship, Battlecruiser

GB-2

GB-3

    Gorgeous – though with my current job situation ( i.e. none )it’s a little disappointing.

    Good luck with them though 🙂

        Thank you.

        The good news is that they’ll fit in with the rest of my collection. The bad news is that I’m going to need to add a “minesweeping” attribute to my rules. (I do have mines already.)
