Hi,
I've been painting 15mm ScanFed lately, and while my mind wanders I go into
"exceptionally anal completeist mode"....hmmm, be cool to have some ScanFed
ships.
After poking around on the web a bit, Sean Bayan Schoonmaker's fingerprints
seem to be all over ScanFed. He was doing the masters for Brigades "Swiss
Confederation" ships (which I assume were intended as
not-ScanFed), of which one of three is actually available. He hasn't
posted to the list since early 04. Anyone know what happened to the father of
ScanFed? Anyone know of any plans to extend the Swiss Confederation line? I
have several of the existing destroyer and think they're just spiff.
Regards,
We're still producing the one and only Swiss destroyer (the Feldkirch) and I
have plans to make a couple more in a similar vein although these,
like many other things, remain as just plans at the moment. I'm wasn't
aware of any intent to make the model a surrogate ScanFed - it's sold as
seen. We even did a little research into the Swiss to work up a background for
them although it didn't really get anywhere. I haven't heard from Schoon for a
long time.

He deployed with the Marines a couple of years ago, came back to CONUS
afterwards and, IIRC, then got married.

I got an email from Sean a couple weeks back, he was on the US East coast on
his way BACK to the Middle East. He was in Afganistan a couple years ago, then
came back, bought a house (he go married in a rush just before he shipped out
the first time). I have the email at home and I can let you all know more and
how to get ahold of him later today.

A few years ago at GenCon, I remember seeing some masters in progress of some
ScanFed ships he was working on for GZG from what I remember. About all I can
remember is that from the front they looked like a maltese cross, much thicker
and stubbier than the UNSC capital ships and would be cast as one piece.
Thanks everybody for the clarifications and the update on Sean.
Tony - Look forward to more Swiss ships - not-ScanFed or not not-Scan
Fed -
if they are anything like the destroyer, I'll need to buy a fleet.
Jon - Glad to hear official ScanFed ships may be in the offing. The new
nations and the refreshes have been super!

OK, it was on 6/12 Schoon sent me an email saying "I'm on the east
coast, preparing for another little trip to the middle east"
