28mm dropship

Antenociti raises the 'bar' for 28mm dropships!!

Jed has sent me a pre-production copy of his 28mm 'Superhawk' dropship (due out at the end of July hopefully) and it's stunning! Superbly designed (like the 'Samsara' it has been developed from a card model) and immaculately cast in resin it comes as a kit of parts with a detailed cabin interior and movable upper and lower loading ramps.
I've had and still have a few 28mm 'dropships' eg. Forgeworld, Games workshop, Puppets War, Titan Forge to name but a few. Due to poor casting, warped parts and bad fit of parts most remain either unbuilt, partly built or awaiting further correction work and paint. Perversely the only one I finished - the Titan Forge X5 - was the worst of all, a nightmare of a kit! Of the others the Puppets War craft are worth persevering with and will be eventually finished. The two Forgeworld fliers I had - the Arvus Lighter (still have a soft spot for this design) and the Valkyrie (replaced by the GW plastic kit) were so poor in terms of fit and warping of major components that I ended up binning both!
The 'Superhawk' is the dropship I've been waiting for for years!

and anther blog entry with painted interior...

Looks great, are those console freehand or decals?

and I think this photo with the Hasslefree minis is worth showing in terms of scale for this dropship...

Looking forwards to an exterior painted view

**dwartist**

Thanks. Consoles are free hand. Flattered that you thought it possible they were decals!

**dwartist**

getting there...

**RobertsMinis**

As someone who is waiting for the SuperHawk Dropship from the Forward Base kickstarter, I'm impressed and jealous of what I see!

**Ruglud**

That is a beauty for sure

**overtyrant**

You guys do some fantastic stuff, got just a few bits and bobs from you and I can't wait to get my hands on the game box and terrain sets from your last KS.

Well, I dont think we're going to get the cockpit canopy of the Azure Dragon any better than this, its certainly clear enough to see the interior now, and that's not bad for resin

"USAriadna doesn't have any manufacturing capabilities" they say.
"USAriadna is a bunch of backwards hill folk" they say.

WHO GETS THE FIRST OFFICIAL INFINITY FLYER HATERS?

USA! USA! USA!

But for real:
That's awesome. Kinda surprised the CB guys signed off on this being an Ariadna one to start with.

**Chillreaper**

Pfft...

They obviously jacked it, flew it to the nearest chop-shop, got a respray and changed the plates.

**Barzam**

The original TOPO version had Ariadna markings, if I recall correctly. I think it would look pretty boss as a Nomad Wildcat SAR aircraft though.

Not sure they did. This is not an 'official' version just my interpretation. The scheme is loosely based on Topo's printed Ariadna 'Flying Tiger' Chickenhawk.

Antenocitis is an "official" Infinity partner; everything they've been doing as "Designed for Infinity" has CB's stamp of approval.

**Pugnacious_Cee**

Wait, so... When/where can we buy this thing? Dropships are where it's at for me. If I can get this thing I'll play games.

**B0B MaRlEy**

Supposed to be in July (on the painter's blog)

**Pacific**

Can't wait for this one to come along!

Will look good with an air-brushed Yu Jing scheme on it I'm sure

**Darkjim**

I have a backerkit email this morning regards the Azure Dragon KS, so anyone who pledged and hasn't got one, check your spam.

I have 6 sheets of decal loveliness on the way \o/

**AndrewGPaul**

Mine's filled in, despite Backerkit having a crap address database.

**dwartist**

**Barzam**

Damn you did a good job on that. I wish I'd been able to get one during the campaign.

**MLaw**

Does anyone know how to contact AW? I PM'd them a week ago about a replacement for a miscast model but they have yet to respond..

**The Infinite**

Have you tried FB or just emailing them direct? They're in the midst of a KS fulfilment at the moment so are probably snowed under and may have just missed your message.

I have. They sent a message maybe two weeks ago asking about those pictures and assuming I was not going to send any after implying repeatedly that I was lying about them. I finally sent them and they disappear.

**Alpharius**

What are the "those pictures" that you're mentioning?

The contact emails tend to be name@antenocitisworkshop.com. You can try emailing Chris or Jed at chris@antenocitisworkshop.com and jed@antenocitisworkshop.com.

Those are usually the emails I use when contacting them. However I will say normally when corresponding with them, emails responses can take 1 day to a week before a response happens.

Sorry I edited the post a couple of times and it still made sense in my head when I hit submit..
It's a bunch of pictures of a miscast tank. Not trying to turn this into a big issue. They offered to replace the tank but suggested I was exaggerating and wanted photos. I'm moving next month and really need to coordinate with them.

**Alpharius**

Ah, OK - no worries then, and best of luck getting that all resolved!
