Starship Models: Wish time...
Real simple, Model making is not the huge industry it once was about 15 years ago... As such, the amount of SciFi models coming out is pitiful. So, what cool, spiffy, CGI or otherwise based SciFi starships would like to put together and hang from your room? Me?
Neo-BSG Galactica all the way, a good 2ft sized model would be killer.

Where to begin?
Just off the top of my head, I'd like to see, in injection mold:
EA Hyperion
EA Nova
SAAB Hammerhead and Saratoga
a second on the new Galactica
Probably more, but those are for starters.
Oh, and to have someone light a fire under the dipshits who bought out Polar Lights and buried the Trek line before it could fully develop.

A model of a Covenant Assualt Carrier would be quite something IMO.

I for one would absolutely love a 6 foot Super Star Destroyer.

I want to be able to make a kit of my own designs. That would fucking rock.
A Government founded upon justice, and recognizing the equal rights of all men; claiming higher authority for existence, or sanction for its laws, that nature, reason, and the regularly ascertained will of the people; steadily refusing to put its sword and purse in the service of any religious creed or family is a standing offense to most of the Governments of the world, and to some narrow and bigoted people among ourselves.

Well, if you've got a pattern and a lot of patience, you can go for resin casting.Surlethe wrote:I want to be able to make a kit of my own designs. That would fucking rock.

FireFox for example is making a KickASS Re-modle of the Victory-SD. Can't find the thread though that had it's pics.

There is no problem to dificult for a signifigantly large enough quantity of C-4 to handle.

It would take some digging, but I've got some stuff somewhere around here if you're interested.Surlethe wrote:The problem is I don't have any idea how to do anything of the sort.Thag wrote:Well, if you've got a pattern and a lot of patience, you can go for resin casting.Surlethe wrote:I want to be able to make a kit of my own designs.

And LordChaos, there are resin kits of the Mad Dog, Timberwolf, and Atlas available (though I can't remember the company off the top of my head), and Ravenstar Studios has a Kit Fox in the works.
