Following on from our preview<\/a> of the digital models of the Royal Space Navy a little while back, we’ve completed the last of the modelling and are pretty much ready to get the masters printed. We’re waiting on a sample print of the light cruiser just to make sure everything looks about right, then we’ll be sending the final versions off for prototyping.<\/p>\n

There are several new models in addition to the initial set; firstly the Fisher class Dreadnought, a very rough draft of which has been lurking in our forums for ages. This newer version takes its styling from the other models with the addition of lots of turrets. There are several options for the chin weapon mount, including a short flight deck for a fighter squadron or two.<\/p>\n

\"DN\"<\/p>\n

The next new ship is the Majestic class carrier. This is based on the battleship lower hull and engines.<\/p>\n

\"CVL\"<\/p>\n

And if there’s a carrier, there have to be fighters – these are as yet unnamed, but we’re very likely to draw on traditional British fighter aircraft to name them. They may not look super-detailed, but don’t forget they’re only 8-9mm long.<\/p>\n

\"FTR\"<\/p>\n

Finally, some unique to the British fleet, a mine warfare vessel – it both detects and sweeps mines using the phased array antennae on the hull front, and has the capacity to lay mines from the port and starboard mine ejection hatches.<\/p>\n

\"MWV\"<\/p>\n

We’re still looking at a Salute<\/a> release if all goes well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
