I think pics were shown earlier, but I didn't see a link to the KS.

The kickstarter hadn't launched back then. :)

Good looking hard science fiction space ship models are few and far between so I'm very happy that Dream Pod 9 has launched this kickstarter to make large multipart resin models out of all the ships in the Ships of the Fleet series of books for Jovian Chronicles!

While I will be using them for the game(s) they were designed for, the gundamesque mecha are not to everyones taste so I imagine these will end up in a lot of other games like Squadron Strike, Starmada or Full Thrust.

With The Expanse on tv again I'm hoping this will do well. I need more ships!

PS: Perhaps adding "hard sci fi spaceships" or something to the subject might be a good idea since people not interested in mecha might simply skip by when they see Jovian *something*.

Added pledge levels to include previous exo/fighters, or four more ships.

Well, I have zero interest in the exos, but, dammit, you can call me Commodore… *sigh*
