In process of having production mold done. We have a picture of one in our booth at Origins.

We are hoping to have it out at Historicon in July?

When do you hope to have it for sale on the web? As I do not live close enough to any con to have any hope of making it to them.

Any idea what the Price will be yet? ??? I'm guessing $39.99-$49.99? Maybe more?

Unknown at this point, as soon I hear from Mike the price I will announce it. Still in the early stages of production.

Happiness comes in round packages :) Received these pics from Mike today, Main hull

Yup, that makes me happy

That came out nice! Can't wait to see a completed model.

I'm impressed. Once released it will have a place of honor in my FedSun Lancers. O0

Ahem... what are those scratches or whatever around the centre? Are those intentional? Or are they just scratches from handling? ???

Please... no simulated battle damage. :-\ Leave that to the record sheets, please. Thanks!

Picked up one of these puppies today at Historicon. Very cool! One of the best models yet!

Got some question about the turrets. There are hardpoints for seven large turrets. I figured out what five are for (the long tom (either deployed or closed) fore, two dual LRM-20 turrets and two dual LRM-10 turrets around the circumference). What are the other two for (port and starboard)? There does not seem to be any larger turrets for those hardpoints.

Also, can we get a key for the smaller turrets' weaponry (i.e., what are the weapons in the small turrets with four weapon muzzles?, etc.)

Thanks!

I got the last one on Sunday to put up for images on the site. Let me look it over and post some pictures. I will not get to it until mid week, I am recovering today from the long weekend at the convention.

Go figure. Right after I sent my order for an overlord and Sparrowhawk. Hopefully there will be enough to last until my next paycheck in two weeks.

Just got mine - and while i was impressed by the CAD, the dropship itself is worse than all the Union or Overlords i've seen so far. No part is matching to each other. Of the small holes for the Little turrets only 3 are not filled with resin. Both halves of the ship are not matching as they have neither the same Diameter nor the same horizon.
And the metal doors or whatever that should be ... do not fit as the bend does not match the hull. Only parts that fit well are the gears.

So sad to see all the mistakes made with the first big dropships are repeated here. :(
I hoped for Rommel_Twee that this time his work will be performed well.

Can others confirm the bad quality of the model? Wanted to buy it :/
