2/26/2006 - Brigade has
posted the following information about
their 2006 plans on miniatures in their
forum plus on SCN:
The EuroFeds should see
more of the newer style ships - at the
minimum there will be a carrier and
cruiser plus a fighter, and there will be
a fleet pack of the new types.
The Germans need more
cruisers - a replacement for the Wuppertal
(which will be imaginatively titled the
Wuppertal II !) and a smaller light
cruiser are planned. I also have sketches
for another frigate which I'll probably
make just because it won't take long.
The CDSU will get a
battlecruiser, I've been scribbling out
designs for some time and I think I've
come up with something I like.
I don't think the AmRep
really need anything new, their fleet is
the most comprehensive now that I've
filled the gap between battlecruiser and
dreadnought with the new Kearsage model.
However I might make some anyway, just
because I can ! I find the AmRep the
easiest fleet to design for. They will be
getting a new
small cruiser design - this would have
been out already but the master broke
during mould-making so I need to repair
it. They will also probably get a
strikeboat sized vessel (somewhere between
a large fighter and a small corvette).
As for the other fleets
... we'll have to wait and see. The
primary four fleets above are the main
sellers, most others are peripheral at
best (merchant ships being the exception).
I do have plans for a completely new human
fleet but I'll say nothing now because I
have far too many other projects on the go
at the moment before I get to that one.

single die and a post. You can
also get a complete fighter base kit
which includes the base, a single die, a
plastic post, and a 3 pronged top to
mount 3 fighters.
5/7/2005
- Brigade has released a new Merchant
Convoy Pack due to requests from
customers. It represent a 15%+ reduction over the price of the individual models, so
it like all their other packs is good  value.
SFSP-5001 Merchant Convoy
- £17.00 GBP
2 x Container Ships (SFS-5000)
1 x Merchant Fighter Carrier (SFS-5001)
1 x Armed Merchant Cruiser (SFS-5002)
1 x Container Ship (SFS-5005)
2 x Heavy Freighters (SFS-5006)
1 x Heavy Merchant Cruiser(SFS-5007)
2 x Small Container Ships (SFS-5009)
Flying stands
Also,
of note from Tony of Bridage:
"The German
Wuppertal class cruiser has been on its
last legs for sometime and the Admiralty
has finally decided to retire the class.
Basically the moulds are shot and for the
moment we can't produce castings of
sufficient quality to sell. The model may
be restored at a later date if we're able
to do so (the original master is hollow
and so would be squashed flat if we put it
in our shiny new vulcaniser). In the
meantime, naval architects are working
overtime to develop a new German cruiser
class to fill the void left by the sudden
retirement of the Wuppertal.
On a better note,
we've remoulded the old light container
merchant ship (SFS-5009) so that's now
available again :-) . In fact, many of our
spaceships have recently been remoulded
(most of the destroyers, frigates and
corvettes of the four main fleets so far,
plus one or two others such as the
Magdeburg, Valmy, Wuxi and Feldkirch) and
look even better than they did before.
We're very pleased with the results of the
investment we've put into our new
mould-making and casting equipment and
almost every model in our ranges is going
to be remoulded in the next 12
months."

Cold Navy is a
line of starship miniatures originally sculpted via
3D modeling CAD software.
Originally created by Xtreme
Hobby, the line was sold to Damage
Control Games for possible use
in their Phoenix Horizons
game, but they decided to go in another
direction. Due to gamer demand, Ravenstar
Studios now has the license to
produce the Cold Navy line.
7/9/2007
- Ravenstar Studios have obtained
the license to produce the Cold Navy
product line. Derek Petit of Damage
Control Games has granted Ravenstar
Studios the license to produce all
the existing designs and to create
additional designs. This includes both
gaming miniatures and larger collector
models. More to come.
4/22/2007
- Damage Control Games have made
the following announcement that they do
not plan to produce the Cold Navy
line of miniatures for their new game, Phoenix
Horizons:
As
many of you know Damage Control Games (DCG)
purchased the Cold Navy Line from Xtreme
Hobby last fall. You have waited
patiently for news on the future of the
line. At this time, DCG will not be
continuing the Cold Navy Line. After
much anguish inside the company, we came
to the realization that although these
ships were very cool, they did not fit
the universe that we were trying to
build. I apologize to those that were
hoping to fill out their fleets with the
line.
DCG
has been approached by other companies
to see if the could buy the rights to
the Cold Navy minis so stay tuned
to see what happens.
8/7/2006
- Cold Navy has been sold to Derek
Petit and John Palumbo who have formed Damage
Control Games to bring Cold
Navy to the future. They ask
for patience as they create this new
company, build a website, acquire the
line of minis plus they plan on creating
a set of rules for these
miniatures.
5/23/2006
- Mike of Xtreme Hobby has made
the following announcement about the
future of the Cold Navy
miniatures, he is offering the product
line and intellectual property that is Cold
Navy for sale:
Well Folks...
Over the last two
years we've had quite the run. We hope
that you've enjoyed our Cold Navy
Starships and everything within this
website that we've put together for you.
As you may know
we've not been able to pay enough
attention to this product like we wanted
to. And, we feel that a very good product
has suffered because of it. In addition,
we feel that a really great group of
people (you, our customers) have also
suffered because of it.
And, it's time to
face the facts. My present life situation
does not peacefully coexist with Xtreme
Hobby in the same space-time continuum. I
simply can't run this business effectively
and maintain all of the other life
necessities that I have.
So, it's been a
tough decision, but, I feel it's the right
one. I would like to offer the Cold Navy
Product line and intellectual property for
sale. This sale will include all of the 3d
model data, images, names, fiction and all
right belonging to Cold Navy. Materials
(3d prints of the vessels) and information
will also be provided to allow the new
owner of Cold Navy immediate startup of
the line so that there is no disruption in
service.
If you are
interested in purchase of the Cold Navy
miniature line, please feel free to email
me at your convenience for further
details.
We will continue to
gladly sell all of our Cold Navy product
until the transition to new ownership.
Thank you for your
support and I hope that Cold Navy prospers
in the reliable hands of a new owner.
SCN
will keep you updated on the status of
these minis.
10/28/2005
- The Xtreme Hobby eStore is back
up and running. They have found a
solution to their problem with
international shipping and lost
packages. New shipping rates and
policies are posted on their website.
On
the Wave 2 ships, a number of they have
yet to be modeled so their is no firm
schedule yet but they hope to have the
Diesho ships available in January of
2006.
10/10/2005
- Posted on the Xtreme Hobby web page
was the following message:
"Xtreme Hobby is on indefinite hiatus. Thank you for your support and interest in our company and our products.
Please, note that we are no longer accepting any order at this time. All orders received prior to this date are being processed and will be shipped within the week."
Mike
of Xtreme Hobby later explains on their
message board that between the new
job,
family and Xtreme Hobby, something had to give He later
says "Cold Navy is not going away.
I'm not selling it off nor am I going to
box it up and shove it into my
attic. It does mean, however, that
I'm taking a break."
We
wish Mike the best and hope that things
work out that we do get to see the Wave
2 miniatures some time in the future.
 5/5/2005
- Xtreme Hobby is now taking
pre-orders for Wave
1.5 miniatures. They were
having problems with their original
caster so their minis will now be cast
by Jeff Valent Studios.
They needed new masters and new molds
and as a result, there have been many
improvements in these miniatures.
Casting is cleaner, mounting holes were
added, clear acrylic flight bases will
be included, and the box for the fleet
boxes is smaller. Wave 1 ships are
no longer being sold and the wave 1.5
ships will be the same price as the Wave
1 ships except for the improvements in
the miniatures.
Xtreme
Hobby has restarted their Customer Appreciation
sale. Cold Navy ships are 20% off of
their regular price until July 31st.
Prototypes
for some Wave 2 ships have also been
received, click on the thumbnails for
larger images.
11/26/2004
- The Cold Navy miniatures have
been released and pre-orders have been
shipped. From Mike Hardy of Xtreme
Hobby:
Cold
Navy is Released! We have all of
our ships in and are readily available
for purchase. We had a slight problem
with stock for our Ba'Negva Frigate and
Conquest Battleships, but, these
problems have been corrected and it's
"full speed ahead" for us now!
 And,
now the GREAT News-
We're
charging too much for some of our ships
and our shipping!
After careful consideration of our
customer's feedback, we realized that we
can save money on our domestic shipping
charges. So, we're rolling those
savings to our customers. We're
now going to reduce our shipping charges
by 30% for domestic orders (anywhere
within the United States). Meaning
$6 for orders under $25 will now be $4
and so on.
Also,
several changes to how we package and
charge our ships will take place over
this weekend:
We're going to increase the amount of
ships that come in our blister packages
for the Northhampton and
Gerrak Frigates. Now, instead of 2
ships per blister, you get 3 ships per
blister, for the same $10.00 MSRP. This
is a 30% price reduction for these
vessels.
Finally,
our Fleet Boxes will also be reduced in
price (due to the Frigate price
reduction).
The Terran Battle Group Fleet Box was
$47.50 and is now $44.50.
The
Kharadorn Attack Squadron Fleet Box was
$45 and is now $40.
If
you've already made an order with Xtreme
Hobby, during the next several days you
will be given the
opportunity to select whether you want
additional ships (to correct the bliste
purchases), a monetary refund and/or
EStore credit for future purchases with
us.
10/25/2004
- Xtreme Hobby has opened their EStore
and you can now pre-order Cold Navy
miniatures. Also available is a
PDF version of Starmada X
for download.
10/20/2004
- The metal masters are back and are
being prepared for being sent to their
production casters. They have
detailed pictures of all the miniatures
up on their website along with
everything from concept sketches,
B&W production art, to images of the
3D solid printed version of the
minis. Everything is looking like
they will make their release date of
November 17th.
Here
are some pictures of the fleets, better
pictures of each of the miniatures is
available at Xtreme Hobby's
website. Click on the thumbnails

8/30/2004 - I
received the following press release
from Mike Hardy of Xtreme Hobby:
Cold
Navy is a general purpose miniature line
designed to provide super-high quality
starship miniatures to space combat
players all over. Essentially,
players provide the rules, we'll deliver
the ships. ^_^
The
initial run of fifteen starships, five
each of three different factions is well
on its way to being
produced. We are scheduled for a
November 14th Release date and all
indication point that we will make that
date. Just in time for the holidays!
These
vessels are being sculpted via 3d
modeling CAD software. These 3D
sculpts will be used to produce cast
masters and 3D art for the set. I have
secured Silvercast (formerly
known as Miniature World USA) to
be our production caster.
The
3D sculpting portion is done. We
are now printing that 3d CAD data to
make RTV master molds from.
Here
is the talent behind our production
effort that is Cold Navy:
John
Bear Ross- This guy need absolutely
no introduction. We've all seen his
outstanding work on the Butcher CAV
& Despot Tank (just to name a few).
He is the lead design for the ships of
Cold Navy.
Paul
Egedi- Lead writer. You can read
some of his work on Mechapress.com under
the name Awesome Slaughter. He is
working on the ship fluff, time line and
general fiction for the Cold Navy
Universe.
Neil
Nowatzki- Lead Artist. You can see
some of his work on the Reaper CAV
Journal of Recognition 2 and Casket
Works #13 and on Mil-Net.net. This guy
makes it look easy.
Chris
Christman- Graphic Artist.
A jewel in the rough, this guy is
excellent at what he does. you can
already see his work on our Xtreme-Hobby
website with the various faction
insignias.
Mike
Hardy- Me. I am the chief financier
and the provider of all useless
knowledge and conceptual art
for the Cold Navy Universe.
Future
releases will include three new factions
per year for the next two years.
This will make a total
of nine factions. New ships for
each faction will also be included.
On
our new Xtreme-Hobby.com website, we
will include data and fluff for each
faction and vessel. Plus,
scenarios, fleet composition reports and
historical data that will be useful to
players wishing to explore the Galactic
Community.
Here
is the planned product line for the
Alpha Release:

Instead of selling the
miniatures, Colony Casting
sells you the molds so you can cast your
own miniatures in resin. Each mold has a
bunch of component parts that you can
combine in many different ways to make
lots of different ships of your own
design. Colony Casting also
keeps track of who has their molds and can
direct you to people who are offering
casts from those molds for sale.
4/25/2006 - Now
available are several different molds,
Shipbuilder molds for the Earthen United,
Sweetarch, Gris, and Mumen fleets with
more on the way. In addition there are
separate molds for Turrets from the first
couple of shipbuilder molds, a larger
scale Fighter/Shuttle mold, plus one for
Flight Bases. In the works are molds for
the Valkree fleet.

DLD
designs and manufactures resin
miniatures for gaming. In addition
to their space based line, they produce
sci-fi vehicles in 25mm and 15mm scales
and are now branching in to fantasy
terrain.
DLD almost always
has a sale going on so check their
website for their current deal or
special.
6/30/2008
- The availability of DLD minis
has been on an off over the last few
years with some people waiting quite a
long time for their orders. Their
website was starting to be updated in
early 2008 but the updates have slowed
down.
7/20/2003
- On DLD's website, the Eagle
and Mortis listings now have
lines through them along with the
message "Purged from
records". Could someone have
not been happy with these kits?
The
'Loyalist' Eagle class ship blank
and the 'Traitor' Mortis class ship
blank are made to use the left over
parts from Battlefleet
Gothic miniatures. There is
space for 2 BFG weapon
pods on the weapon mounts on the main
body. Also, there are 3 turret platform
mounts where you can place turret
lances. DLD has even made
'Wreckage' versions of these miniatures
available.
Plus
a set of 4 new Transport miniatures is
available along with a set of 3 Bulk
Freighters.
 9/12/2002
- DLD has released a Dice Base,
a normal sized hex base including a post
with a spot for a 12mm D6. These Dice
Bases can be used mark speed,
shields, numbers of ships or
fighters. Basically whatever the
game calls for. For $5 you get a
pack of 5
5/6/2002 - DLD
is offering a new service.
Pre-assembled/pre-primered kits:
Don't have the time or the room to
assemble one of our great kits? Then let
us do it for you! We'll have our
on-site Master Model Maker, (the guy
that does the design work for our kits),
assemble your kit when you purchase it
from us directly. When that's done,
we'll even hit it with your choice of
primer. Black, white, or gray. There
will be some final assembly on your
part, (the tires, turrets, Containment
Rings, etc.), but all major components
will be assembled with the exceptions
mentioned. There is a Final
Assembly set of instructions that will
accompany the kits. All you'll have to
do is hit it with your favorite color,
finish the Final Assembly and that's it!
BAM! Go game!
So how much for this fancy dancy
service? 50% of the retail
price of the kit. That's it. So, for
example, a kit retails for $25.00, you
add 50% to that, $12.50, plus shipping,
and there you go! Ta da!
1/25/2002 - DLD's
website has moved to http://www.dldproductions.com.
To celebrate, DLD will ship US orders
for FREE and half off shipping to
anywhere else.
 4/2/2001
- More new releases from DLD:
After
many months on the planning boards, the
Alien Fleet is finished! And
they're here! The
Vin'grún!
These
things came straight out of my
nightmares! The idea for these came from
my stay in good old El Paso TX. I saw a
couple critters, one called a Vinegaroon,
and the other, a "Camel
spider" or "Sun spider".
Being very
arachnaphobic, (not that that
is what these are, but they are part
 of
the family of arthropods), I felt these
would be a very nasty race indeed!
Combine the two, and let your
imagination fly! Ech! This is a
complete fleet release!
8/29/2000
- DLD
releases their Orbital
Repair Dock
(KIT# OR001411...$30.00 ). This
multi-part resin kit when assembled will
actually allow other minis to be
'docked' for repairs within the
superstructure of this mini. Take a look
at the pictures of this mini at its
webpage (here)
for more pictures.

2/21/2001
- eM-4-Miniatures announces that
they are releasing a pack of 12
grey plastic spaceships at £2.50
per sprue, bases available separately.
Once again, these minis are familiar to
those who own Silent
Death: The Next Millenium
since they are the same minis included
in the boxed set and the Wings of
Death supplement plus offered by Nexus
Games / Atlantic Figures below.
I'm not sure on the licensing of these
minis but I'll let you all know if I
find out more.

- And now a couple days later, Mel posts
the following on the Force XXI
Yahoo group:
I have been working
on an Alien Race for the Star Ship Line.
The Kin'Sar are a
cat race. Very war like and they look
like actors in the Broadway hit
"Cats".
Take a look. (Cruiser
and Fleet carrier)
I have in the works
a destroyer, Battleship, Battle
Dreadnaught and a Corvette. These should
be ready to release by mid month.
6/3/2002 - Mel
Beard of Force XXI Miniatures
announces:
I have released a
line of Star Ships for use with any fleet
battle system. There are currently 9 ships
available, however I do not supply stands
for these ships. Future releases will
include alien vessels and fighter craft.
Check the Star
Ship line link to view these
ships.
Click on the thumbnails
or the ship classes for larger images.
FYI, Mel Beard's former
company, Tactical Command Games,
produced the game Stellar
Fire now listed on the Out
of Print Shelf.

3/7/2005
- MiniModel Madness has a wide selection
of hard to find ship miniatures from
classic era flying saucer movies to
supporting ships from more familiar
series. The miniatures are in resin
and probably done more of the collector
and modeler, but they are small enough
that space gamers can use them too as they
compare well against other lines of
miniatures.

An
Italian company, Nexus Games is
releasing several line of plastic
figures previously produced by Atlantic
(check out their webpage for the whole
story). Of interest to us is their
XXX
Century line of sci-fi figures which
includes NSF
001 - Starships a pack of 12
plastic spaceships (starfighters)
which should be very familiar to anyone
who owns Silent
Death: The Next Millenium
since they are the same ones included in
the boxed set and the Wings of Death
supplement. This set of minis list
for $8-$8.50 which is bit more than the
cost per fighter with Wings of Death ($30
for 4 spruces of 12). Check their
webpage for retailers in your country.

 2/26/2007
- Additional Magnetic Adaptors have been
released, 45 degree and 90 degree angle
connectors which are great to use for 3D
games to show the actual orientation of
ships. These are available from Rattlehead
Games.
1/24/2007 - The
Magnetic Adaptors are once again available
through Rattlehead
Games.
 Initially
released last year, these magnetic
adapters were unfortunately only briefly
available. I wasn't entirely satisfied
with them due to some casting and
engineering problems, and did not want to
continue selling them until these problems
were fixed. However I was not quite
prepared for months and months of
setbacks, problems, delays, and
frustrations, so it has taken far longer
than I ever anticipated to bring them
back.
With the last of
these production issues finally laid to
rest, and sporting a tighter grip too, the
magnetic adapters have returned!
For those who are
unfamiliar with this product, these
adapters provide a single simple solution
to many of the problems associated with
miniatures mounted on flight stands. The
two biggest being flight stand breakage
during transport, and the collision of
larger miniatures when in close proximity.
 8/7/2006
- Ninja Magic has New Releases at
GenCon Indy :
Ninja Magic will
be selling three new miniatures at GenCon;
The much-anticipated Kito Kapak Class
Carrier, the mighty Tipaka Class
Battleship and the tiny Tak Kuta Class
Corvette. These new ships further flesh
out the Kikoku Fleet, part of the "With
Hostile Intent" line of
miniatures and upcoming game.
Immediately following
Gen Con, they will be available for online
purchase at Rattlehead Games.
Prices are yet to be determined.
Ninja Magic will
be at booth 1934 at GenCon, sharing it
with with Gorilla Games, makers of Battlestations
7/11/2006 - The full rules for
the the forthcoming game With
Hostile Intent are not
available yet, but now you can get the
first miniatures:
 Ninja
Magic/With Hostile Intent
Miniatures now available!
I'm pleased to announce
that the first miniatures in the With
Hostile Intent line are available for
purchase through Rattlehead
Games. Currently available are as
follows:
Kotaku Class
Battlecruiser
Armed with eight particle beam cannons in
its most recent and most common upgrade,
the Kotaku has carried the Kumka
Burrough's dominance over all other kikoku
burroughs for the past forty years.
Optional Turrets
Older and/or variant versions of the
Kotaku are possible using these optional
turrets.
Tiko Class Destroyer
Destroyer was never a more apt
classification when describing the Tiko.
It is a deadly predator that hunts down
targets, and its role as an escort
understates its fierce combat prowess.
Kapuki Class Frigate
As a general purpose escort, the Kapuki
can't be beat. It is tough enough to
intercept and hold off enemy destroyers,
and its defenses make it a welcome screen
against fighters and missiles.
Missile & Torpedo
Counters
Track missiles and torpedoes in style with
these small miniatures. Useful in a wide
variety of games that track ordnance
movement.
Magnetic Adapters
Tired of flight stands breaking? Tired of
awkward storage solutions? Tired of large
miniatures bumping into each other? Outfit
your miniatures with magnetic adapters and
these problems virtually vanish. Used
normally and they allow miniatures to be
instantly attached and detached from their
bases for set-up or storage. In an
alternate configuration, they can be used
as spacers to alter the height of the
miniature, moving them out of the way of
each other.

 10/2/2001
- PewterCraft had contacted Tom Pope
who had done a webpage for them and let
him know that they were still
around. They had unfortunate damage
to their factory and had to relocate their
retail store. However the store and
"plant" are up and working and a
new catalog should be out shortly. They
are best reached via email at LSowers@compuserve.com,
or at 1-732-363-7575. This was back
in June and I haven't seen any updates
since. PewterCraft also has
not replied to the email I have sent them.

6/25/2003 - Stronghold
Miniatures now has these SDD
miniatures available in their online
catalog, pictures are in the works and
should be up soon.
|
SDD
will be produced by Stronghold
Miniatures in the future.
I
expect full production to start by
May, and I have kept the web site
going to keep the product listing
on the web.
I
have asked Brian to update the
pages on the site because he
hasn't given me the access codes.
I have even sent him an xhtml page
to upload but so far nothing has
happened.
Eventually
it will be on my own web site at www.stronghold-miniatures.co.uk
for secure ordering.
If
you want the spaceships please
email me directly at mike@strongholdminiatures.co.uk
or ask Larry to replenish his
stock of them.
I
have identified the moulds for the
spaceships, so now just have to
identify which one is which
because the samples I have are
broken off the show stand and
Brian had put them very carefully
in a box without any labelling.
Let
me know if I can help you any
further. |
 In
further conversations with Mike, he sent
me the image to the right (click for a
larger version) showing the Aurigan
and U-Sylon fleets. He also asked
that if anyone wants any of those minis,
please contact him with their
requirements and he will see what he can
do. Mike will let me know when the
SDD spaceships are up on his
secure site for ordering and I will post
that news here.
1/19/2003
- SDD has just announced they
have a website up. Their line of
spaceships includes mainly the Aurigan
and U-Sylon fleets, one of which uses a
marble in the middle of the
mini. SDD has been
absent from the UK game show scene for a
while so it was a bit of a surprise when
the webpage was announced, also since it
looked like the company was for sale.
SDD
Models products are distributed by Brookhurst
Hobbies in the US but they have
not gotten a new shipment of minis in
quite a long time.

This
one man shop makes some interesting
miniatures that are a bit small but are
very affordable, most are less than $1
each.
 10/11/2005
- The Hive range of alien bioship
miniatures are now available from Studio
Bergstrom. This range of ships
includes everything from massive
motherships and dreadnoughts to
cruisers, escorts, fighters and
drones. Andrew Bergstrom says:
"I imagined a race that uses living ships that are perfectly home in space or in atmosphere, genetically altered beings that have natural defenses and weapons and filled with vicious, unrelenting, genocidal insect-like beings hell-bent upon destruction of anything not of their kind!"
Stats for these minis
are available for use with Starmada,
Full Thrust, and A
Sky Full of Ships. There
is a contest for Silent Death
stats for these minis, submissions are
due by 11/23/2005.
2/12/2004 -
Several new minis have been released by Studio
Bergstrom. All were inspired
by Battlestar Galactica, both the
original series and the new re-imagined
version. Fighters are about and
inch long and the large ships are about
2.5 inches long. Only a few of the
minis are pictured below.
11/29/2001
- Studio Bergstrom releases some
new miniatures including the F.E.D.
Frigate pictured to the right and a few
more. Check them out on their new
minis page.

resin unlike the rest of the line which
are pewter.

- Valiant's
webpage says the Stardate:

up to $9.95 or $15.95. Some
pictures of the minis are also posted.
9/7/2000
-
Their Stardate:3000
line
now has its
own page,
listing all the items in the line at a
price of $7.95 each but does not mention
if there are more than 1 mini per pack
(and it still says coming soon)
7/21/2000
- The Miniatures Page ran an article
that Valiant
now has a website (http://www.veltd.net).
Since I have been waiting for their Stardate:3000
line of minis to be re-released, I
surfed over and took a look around.
Their Stardate:3000
line is mentioned but nothing more so I
emailed Valiant
for
more info and received this reply:
Thank
you for the e-mail.
Stardate:
3000 Miniatures are being prepared for
re-release in October (Sooner, I hope).
The Fighting Sail ships are now
available with Spanish Main and Ramming
Speed to follow.
I
have recorded you address and will
contact you as soon as product is ready
for shipping.
