Just a quick post from me today. As you may recall, I have painted some aeronefs and a shuttle as part of this challenge. These were designed by a close gaming mate of mine, Nathan, who had them produced through Blotz. He really enjoyed designing using CAD and didn't want it to feel like a job, so getting them designed and made was part of his hobby.
Unfortunately, Nathan passed away from a heart attack at the back end of last week, leaving a wife and two young children.
I've been lucky enough to have a really close bunch of wargaming mates for about the last 15 years since I got back into the hobby and Nat was an absolutely key member of that group. We're all absolutely devastated.
As part of trying to process the situation I decided to finish another one of the shuttles he designed and make it a tribute to him. I fully intend for it to be on the battlefield whenever possible when we play games going forward.
A slightly battered shuttle that still does the business.
Blinged up a little
I know Nat had a whole load of designs bouncing around in his head, including expanding the sci fi range.
20 points for the 28mm shuttle and I'll leave you with some encouragement to let your fellow gamers know how much they mean to you the next time you see them, I know I will be doing so.
That's a nicely battered shuttle Jamie and a splendid tribute to Nathan.
