Our Scandinavian Union fleet in the Imperial Skies background is based upon the historical union between Sweden and Norway in the 19th and early 20th centuries, with the non-historical addition of Denmark. The original fleet came out back in 2012 and was one of our first dalliances with 3D printed masters- the hulls were 3D printed (albeit in a not-very-high resolution material with a rough finish) while the rest of the models from the deck up were hand-made. These new versions are full 3D designs with the two capital ships featuring resin hulls to make them lighter and easier to base. There are several extra models over the original lineup, including two extra cruisers and a new frigate, and we’ve restored the two patrol craft which have been out of production for a while.<\/p>\n
