Awesome!!!

Glad this is finally coming out to play

I think this is, overall, your best yet Chris.
Huge model, lots of really cool working features, and yet very easy build...Brilliant!

I love this, I discovered 'Ebbles' 2 days after the site closed. Is the CD still available.
Thank you.

Chris; You should re-post the 3d walkthrough link.

Oh wow!
This is a model that goes to 11! :-o

Solospirit, DeltaIce, DrewT333: Thanks.

xombygod: 'Fraid not. The archive DVD was a limited time offer that ended last year. And just in case anyone asks why I don't bring it back, I honestly don't have the room or time to deal with a mail order business at the moment. :))

Skunkape: Yep, it's on a countdown now! Yesterday was a bit nuts trying to get everything wrapped up before bed, but I just about made it.

Squirmydad: Funny you should mention that--I actually put links to the Win/Mac walkarounds on the product page below the description because they're too fun not to share.

Well thanks anyway. I love the paper models, Me and my boy build em, and worse case scenario we rebuild it.

I tell ya it is alot cheaper than spending $150.00 for a plastic syberwolf, at a Game Workplace.

I would like a dreadnaught, Or better yet what software do you use to design these things.
I am a tattoo artist(?) and I am fascinated with the possibilities. I like being able to bring a dream to life. Anyway cool model. Awesome as hell.

MelEbbles · **Posted:** 03-16-2012, 11:02 AM

Wow, you guys jumped on that release pretty quickly! Thanks for your support!

Petershergalis · **Posted:** 03-16-2012, 11:05 AM

Very Impressive! :ymapplause:

Now all we need is some scifi terra clips to land it on.

Solospirit · **Posted:** 03-16-2012, 11:54 AM

Second vote for some SF Terraclips...or a BIG Swift Scenics landing pad!...need one that will fit, 12"x12" aint gonna cut it with this workhorse

DeltaIce · **Posted:** 03-16-2012, 08:09 PM

Skunkape · **Posted:** 03-19-2012, 04:43 AM

Great that it's released, buying mine in a few minutes!

Ghenghis_Ska · **Posted:** 03-19-2012, 07:36 AM

Sweet, will have to get this very soon!

Solospirit · **Posted:** 03-28-2012, 01:14 PM

Finally finished my first Pinz

Going to setup a little picture shoot...but there is a problem...the dang thing is HUGE!!

I knew it was a large model...bigger than the big UD (no problems setting up a scene with the dropship

)
So...I need to expand my photo setup a little to accomadate this beauty

The model itself went together really well...I made a few goofs, as I usually do with a new set, but its a pretty forgiving model. It built up clean, solid and looking good..Not a hard build at all...I love it

I was trying to find a matching Onagar for the hold... Chris, did you ever do the Onager in Tan?
I have the white and helodrab versions. White will work fine for the UN or Moon Base schemes, helodrab will work fine for the Rescue 1 variant so I am building that next

So any way...hopefully pics up "Soon"

I was wondering why that post looked so familiar, then it hit me--I'd answered it on the Lounge a little while back. :))

Just a heads-up to let everyone know I've updated the files. I'd like to thank Haydn Bold and George Coutts for going over everything with a fine tooth comb and catching a couple of things that snuck past us during the beta. (Familiarity sometimes makes you blind to little errors that someone with fresh eyes can spot readily!)

Things of note:

*Instructions and model PDFs updated. Renumbered several parts and shuffled a couple of things around a bit.

*Cutfiles updated. Frame 42 in particular had a couple of tab issues that were sorted out.

*Texturing refreshed a bit. I made some subtle changes to the exterior weathering, nothing major.

I am actually looking at this as a colony drop ship - goes down, never goes back up, becoming a colony headquarters when offloaded - the cargo bay being used for a cubicle farm.... (In the grim darkness of the future... there will still be cubicle farms....)

PCs get to be the lucky folks that try to make sure that the colony is successful... and profitable.

Maybe a modified version of the Kingdom rules in Pathfinder's Kingmaker series.

No problem Chris, glad to help out.
any time you need a tester...

This one looks sweet like the other Ebbles models, but I've found them too difficult and fiddly to assemble. I have a few sets and gave up fighting them. Apparently, I am not the target audience for these models, but they sure look sweet.
