ADB Releases Ships for January 2021

On January 11, 2021, ADB released a total of 35 new items to its shop on Shapeways which has over 2,400 items available in total. Notably this month we released new ships for the Federation, Klingons, and Tholians along with the first three armored vehicles for the Lyrans. Please note that all ships are available in both 3788 and 3125 scales, except when noted.

The Federation starts with its Police Flagship which is available in both the Federation (gridded saucer) and Fed Classic (smooth saucer) styles.

The Klingons gain their C10 Heavy Dreadnought, D7C Command Cruiser, and D7W Heavy Command Cruiser. With more aztecking, they are also available as the C10K Refitted Heavy Dreadnought, D7L Command Cruiser, and D7WK Heavy Command Cruiser. The C8L Dreadnought (Alternative) is based on the C8 Dreadnought but has a different way from the C8K of disguising the fact it was refitted.

The Tholians have two new X-ships: the Neo-Tholian X-Ship Heavy Cruiser and Neo-Tholian X-Ship Light Cruiser.

The Hydrans gain a Light Gunboat/PF Tender.

The WYNs now have their Orca-H Heavy War Cruiser.

The Lyrans get the first of their ground vehicles with their Ground Combat Vehicle, Armored Personnel Vehicle, and Tank. These are in the 285 Scale only.

Finally, the Peladine Empire, which is one of the "also-rans" in the history of the Alpha Quadrant, gets its Light Cruiser as the second of the ships for that empire.

Aside from the various empires, we also created the turn gauges that are part of hexless combat for both Star Fleet Battles and Federation Commander. The compact style works best in Multi Jet Fusion Plastic; the flat style, in Fine Detail Plastic. The gauges themselves are identical; the variation is only in presentation for 3d printing. These are only available in the Omni Scale.

Also only available in Omni Scale are the Large and Small Captor Mines. These are both armed with drones.

ADB Releases Miniatures for June 2022

On June 1, 2022, ADB released a baker's dozen new items to its shop on Shapeways, which has over 2,800 items available in total. We featured the Federation, Klingons, and "general" items this month. Please note that all miniatures are available in both 3788 and 3125 scales, except when noted.

The Federation starts with the Light Dreadnought Carrier. The ship is available in both the Federation (gridded saucer) and Fed Classic (smooth saucer) styles. They also gain their Flatbed Operational Carrier in the 7000 Scale. Also worth looking at in Omni Scale only are the General Small Freighter variant, General Small Freighter variant with skid, Mobile Logistics Base, and Augmented Mobile Logistics Base since the Federation typically used these designs.

The Klingons gain their HD5 Heavy War Cruiser. With more aztecking, the ship is also available as the HD5K Refitted Heavy War Cruiser.

"General" ships are those that all empires use. "Omni" scale is used for things that are too small to print to scale (fighters) or too big to print to scale (bases and freighters). Freighters were built by a multitude of companies. The General Small Freighter Type 2 is one of those variants. It is also available with a skid attached. Mobile Logistics Bases are also called mobile bases; we have one standard and one augmented version.
