Liking the look of the eagle, would make a cool Valkyrie model. Only thing is it's the price of a baneblade, gonna have to think on that for a little while. Here's to hoping it goes well.
The 15mm tanks look like they would work in 28mm scale as drones or hunter killers of some kind. May have to get in on the pledge manager level and see what unlocks.
The next two stretch goals are to unlock new features for the Eagle and Kestrel, adding interior cockpit detail and clear-cast resin canopies for them.

We've been informed that "a certain other company* has an identical model to the Ogre.
Having checked with the owner of the IP - Stephane Chasseloup, - that *other company* do NOT have permission to use his model, nor have they ever.
We do.

Could do with some more comparison shots or mockups - like how big is the Eagle compared to say a Valkyrie?
Also the pledging is a bit unusual and trying to get my head round it.
So if you want models that don't fit nicely into the pledge structure do - say you want to spend £400 - can you do multiple pledges or do you get the same proportional increase with one pledge?

No idea how big a Valkyrie is, so no obvious way to do a comparison with the Eagle etc I'm afraid.
You can pledge over the set amount for each pledge rank but the rank-bonus amount does not increase.
You can still pledge via Paypal for pledge ranks that are all gone on the KS itself as we reserved some ranks for PayPal only (and all PayPal pledge ranks remain available)
Hey, AW, what sort of timeframe are we looking at for the revised Forward Base interior panels? I just finished painting up my corridor sections (with some plasticard additions) and I'm really eager to get to work on my hab buildings.. but before I design any new plasticard panels for the front / rear interior walls I need to know how much space I will have to work with.
Do you anticipate the resin panels fitting flush with the non-recessed wall sections and the etched details on the floor?
Yes, they should all stay flush unless I run into some significant issue - and I can't think of any off the top of my head.
TBH not much will change from those in the original KS other than reducing some of the sizes to provide more margin for error in the *growth* of the resin parts during mould-life - the originals fitted perfectly meaning that as soon as the mould *grew* with lifetime use, the resin parts were too big and needed sanding down.
So we're going to deliberately re-do them about "1mm too small" on one side, laterally and ventrally, which should provide some built-in *wiggle room* for fitting them.
There is a bit of a change to fit in the new hinged doors though, but that won't affect the maximum extent that any component protrudes into the central area - that outer face should always be flush with the edging strip/etch detail.
I like what you've done with those corridors btw... we recently bought some new materials (different types of a synthetic card) from 0.6mm to 1.2mm thick, to possibly do facias similar to that... we need to do more testing on these cards though to see how they take paint... lots of companies use "greyboard" but its quite fibrous and tends to swell with paint, so I am not 100% with using that.. some of these alternatives may work though... in which case doing something similar to what you've done in those corridors would be the plan.
Excellent, thanks for that. So I can probably do the front and back wall panels and I can leave it unglued just in case I have to trim off a few millimetres. Do you think we will see the resin panels by the end of the year?
Personally, I love all the stuff coming out of Antenocities, their resins are some of the best in the market. This KS is a little different in that you can buy the 3D Print files to make your own ship! I've backed thir 'Roc' Dropship which will be shipping in the next few weeks, plus their last one which was for some generic Sci-Fi vehicles. All are designed for use in Infinity, but I use them for terrain in other games like Relic Knights.
The Roc drop ships are now delivering. Very good cast quality. Some of the resin gates (which normally you'd be hacking off) are actually the plugs to conn ct to other parts. Quite clever really. Here's an exploded view!
A bit of everything really....... Titanicus, Bolt Action, Cruel Seas, Black Seas, Blood Red Skies, Kingdom Death, Relic Knights, DUST Tactics, Zombicide the lit goes on.............
