Yesterday I promised a surprise.
Unfortunately, I didn't have any time to work on it, but a promise is a promise, so I'll show them anyway!
At the end of January I entered a Space Pirate Class II ship, for my idea of the 'Void Hawks' for the contest from Hydra Miniatures. It earned me 2nd place, prize being a Class III & IV when they were sculpted and cast. It arrived in the mail yesterday!
I have to say these ships were well worth the wait, they are sleek and sexy.
I have the set of 9 Class I and 3 Class II, so with these, it puts them at the same fleet size as my Imperial & Zenithian fleets that I have painted (though I did end up getting an extra Class II Imperial & Class III Z)
So eventually I will do the same type of 'build it & review' for the Pirates as I did for the Imperial and Zenithian fleets.
Though I didn't have time today to do it, with work and getting ready for the vacation weekend, I didn't want to leave you hanging without making good on my promise of a surprise, so here are the pictures of the ships before assembly:
The Class III :
The Class IV:
Like a lot of the fleets, the number of wings is equal to it's class. this one has a dorsal & ventral tail fin. Cool.
Not sure when they'll be released, but hopefully you won't have to wait long!
I also got something else, completely unexpected and very fun, but I want to ask them if they mind it being shown yet. If he says it is ok, I'll post it up soon, if not, well I'll keep his secret,but I will say it is quite cool!
The pirates always make me think of Gary Numan, as I've mentioned, and I wanted to find the piano version (for something different) of I nearly married a human (it's a great piece) but seems there is no youtube video of it, I have it on CD but that won't help much, but this is a nice piano version of Down in the Park,
Enjoy!

Looking forward to your build and review on these. I looked at your other fleets and the black looks lethal. The gold fleet is sexier though!
You've got a holiday weekend so spend it with your girlfriend and paint later!
Wonderful! I'll look forward to seeing her finished.
I helped playtest the rules but somehow never got my ship package in recognition.
Very cool! Looking forward to the report on the build. Have a great weekend.
Also looking forward to the review, and how you paint up the model. Looks nice in pieces, will be in better once put back together!
Anne: wish that was possible, but we're still in immigration limbo.
re: the ships, thanks! The Imperial ships -gold ones- are my favorite. Unfortunately takes 3 times as long to paint as the zenithian saucers ;)
Paul: maybe send him a reminder?
Michael & Mr.Lee: Don't know when I'll squeeze in the time, hopefully not too long.
