Currently, as an FC player, what I really most want to see is ordinance - shuttles, plasma, drones, etc. Different ones for each race would be nice, but I would be quite happy with even one of each. "Paintbrush conversion" can take care of different races, classes, etc. I know these are in the works, I just wanted to add my name to the list of buyers.
And I wonder if there is a practical way to do the Giant Space Amoeba and the Cloud monsters? Some sort of clear plastic or resin with inclusions perhaps? I really enjoy playing monster scenarios... But those two seem the hardest to come up with decent looking minis for.

Someone already made the Space Amoeba, discussed in this really old topic. (It included a picture, but the link no longer works.)dave wrote:And I wonder if there is a practical way to do the Giant Space Amoeba and the Cloud monsters?

Here is an updated link of the picture of the Space Amoeba. Ben actually made the Space Amoeba and had a write-up in CL#36 (p.37) of how to make it.
I developed the system of anti-gravity so that we no longer need to use the stands in our games. Pretty cool!

Re: post subject
It's on Mr. Thomas' list of things to do. As far as I know, the "seed" parts made the trip to Tennessee. The Juggernaut is likely a higher priority though.markgeorgetwo wrote:Repeating the following item is there still plans to still do the following item THE FEDERATION DD ENGINE.
The CC saucer is already available separately (but only directly through ADB).markgeorgetwo wrote: ...combine the CC saucer...

These two are simple conversions covered by articles in Captains Log. The Klingon pods are available separately here (Fed pods are in the "Bag of Federation parts" here).markgeorgetwo wrote: The Federation light tactical transport and the klingon D5H light tactical transport...
With rare exceptions, the middle years version of the minis look identical to their GW-era counterparts, so unique minis for them is unlikely.markgeorgetwo wrote:...is there plans to do the middle years ships in separate pieces or box sets
Real life issues and a terribleunder-estimation of the complexity of the Juggernaut has slowed everything down.
I had to restart thejuggernaut 4 times as previous methods proved unsuitable for such a complex beastie. And to top things off - I've been so frustrated w/ that one that I've not worked on another single miniature since January...
No painting, no sculpting, no nothing except doing and redoing and re-redoing the Juggernaut.
As of last night, the main body was comlete except for the addition of the raised panels and the lower Ph-4 mounts. The nose was nearly completed, needing only to have the horns attached, raised panels added, and Ph-4 mounts.
The Tail section is laid out and will be quick and easy to complete.
Federation LTT: The yoke to convert an NCL into a LTT is complete nd will be sent to ADB along with the Juggernaut sometime next week.
The parts for the DD engine are sitting on the workbench and once everything else is done, it should be only a matter of an hour or two to produce a castable master.
The Pegasus has not yet been started, but compared to the Juggernaut - it should be a quick nd easy assembly. I expect to have it in SVC hands before he leaves for Origins.

Re: post subject
Judging from Steve's email to me regarding the DD engine, I would assume that once completed and cast, it'll be packaged with those saucers and you can purchase either a DD, or a DDF, or a SC.markgeorgetwo wrote:about the following are these available has a separate items?
