Some of our models have been around for a while … well, we are 26 years old as a company<\/a>. Some of the older moulds are wearing out, and need replacing, so as a slow but ongoing process we’re going to take some of our more venerable models and resculpt them before making new moulds. One of the first of these is the French Charlemagne<\/a> battlecruiser in the Aeronef<\/a> range. This has code number VAN-401 – in other words, it was the first French Aeronef ever produced.<\/p>\n

I’ve redesigned it with a slight tumblehome hull but it’s still recognisable as the same ship. Through the wonders of digital technology I’ve created three variants of the hull and three different superstructures with varying armaments. In theory all of these should be interchangeable, so it will be possible to create nine slightly different models.<\/p>\n
