Thanks Dave! All those pictures you’ve carved into the walls of your c̶e̶l̶l̶ room are finally paying off!īut what does it do? Well we’ll tell you a little bit today. Though a decade late to the party, the sculpt represents a real and potent asset to the UCM: larger, older and more powerful than the common Falcon, ready to pour righteous fire from on high. 10 years after putting ink to paper, I’ve recreated and re-imagined the gunship in detailed 3D to send it to tabletops at last.
I’d always liked that sketch, and though the UCM’s styling evolved, it was still recognisably colonial. To coincide with the 10 year anniversary of me burying my nose in the sketchbook that would become Dropzone’s opening range, we decided to create a special piece – I dusted off the old tome, smiling, often. I’d intended it to be a totally different sculpt to the Raven, but later realised it would be more efficient and ‘UCM’ to use a modular design with a shared airframe, so the sketch was shelved. Way back in the mists of time (Jan 1st, 2010), I sketched a design for the UCM’s standard gunship.
We’re putting these new exclusives up on pre-order this week because everyone needs a bit of a pick-me-up at the moment, and to celebrate the imminent opening of our first retail store in Bromley.īut what is the Osprey? I’ll hand it over to David Lewis for a little backstory. The UCM Osprey is the 2021 show exclusive, celebrating 10 years of Dropzone Commander (or at least 10 years since Dave first thought of it!).
