    Question - would you consider working up a design that's not for battling?

    I'm curious about a 3D printed hull for the HMCS Bonaventure - is it something you'd consider?

    I appreciate the interest, but SJS is pretty solidly booked on combat hulls right now. I don't see myself having the free time for a one off in at least 6-8 months.

    Sneak peak on one of our hulls-in-progress for March:

    Lunchtime Update:

    This superstructure is going to drive me to drink. The forward tower essentially is split in 2 sections, with the upper section flying over the lower section via the tripod + additional girder supports. Will be really annoying to print, trying to sort out how to keep the visual effect while also keeping my sanity.

    Need to work on the rear SS tripod, and then the detail pass. But she's getting very close to finished.

    So, its pretty safe to lock in some of the new hulls that will be released to the store for end-of-march 2024 pre-sales.

    Its looking like:

    Texas
    Bellerophon
    Colossus
    South Carolina
    Baltimore
    Derfflinger
    We actually already have wooden decks for Baltimore, so she will very quickly switch from presale to in-stock sales. The rest will go live as pre-sales while we wait for wooden deck kits to arrive.

    Bellerophon, Colossus, and South Carolina are "our designers have ADHD" bonus hulls. All 3 are pretty simple ships, so it wasn't a huge deal to push them through the pipeline without massively delaying anything else.
