Ok nearly done. I have finished up the Kitty ships all that is left is the steltech, and maybe a closeup of all the little fighters.... ugh That latter probably wont happen except maybe in one picture of each little fighter First the old Snakier Next a pair of destroyers, one...

Tacticon WC Mission Prep I will be running another wing commander game at this tacticon in denver http://www.denvergamers.org/ However I am attempting to determine what mission to run and realized this is probably the best place to get such info. please PM me if you have suggestions and...

I too had been contemplating that. If you separate it into two pieces you get two hulls that loko like similar design generations to the southamptons. However, the halves (hangar removed) are quite asymmetric. Then I considered they might have just expanded the central hull section to...

And another set processed First a Gilgamesh Next a Southampton And a Durango Finally A Bengal

I have tried a large array of parameters for taking pictures of glossy models. If using flash then diffusing or further away is better... except that diffusing often sees a larger reflection spot area, even though said spot is weaker. On complicated parts, thats a problem Ive tried using...

Next on tap: Depends. I got a little burnt out modeling and painting like crazzy for the Con. Im currently working on designs for Vor the maelstrom and Crimson skies for a change of pace. Im also painting mechs, Vor, and eventually crimson skies, but have, what I think, are a couple beautiful...

Thank you Iceblade. Here are the last two bugs. First the ever popular Hydra. I actually modeled two sizes of this ship. the first was a little large, but i like the larger one. The second is closer to appropriate "scale" in so far/little as I generally care about scale. Its always about...

Ok, While I have now photographed the entire fleet, It still takes a while to sit down and sort and process the images. For now here are three Neph ships First a quartet of Barracudas (~1cm long) Next an Orca Destroyer (~3cm long) And Finally the Wormhole Gate with a Tiamat emerging...

Nice authentic paint jobs. Ive been unable to decide how to tackle those beauties just yet. here are some from WC4, I still need to go back and take pictures of that fleet used at the Con. And attached is a Tie interceptor, from studio bergstrom I finished with this batch. Not WC...

What a horrible horrible thought! Two games defined my childhood, Wing commander and Quest for glory. I played many more but almost no game has been replayed by me as often as those. Mainly because they are long continued story and consequences for actions. Something even most modern...

Agreed. While most Sci-Fi enthusiasts(me) are loath to admit it, Only bullets and missiles make sense. But they are boring... Then again, when BSG first started up I was annoyed they only used bullets and missiles. Except when considering the fact that in space inertia is a @#$#. Meaning...

Wow, That Behemoth is BIG I didn't get a feeling for it being that big in the game, but if it can actually destroy a planet.... Thanks for the lineup shot!

Post pictures if you paint them! Or pictures of them in action=)

I had forgotten the atmospheric capabilities. Excellent point. And Aginor, I wholly agree with your points. Otherwise I wouldn't bother modeling and painting so many of these little suckers. What I would like to see is a nice elegant "realistic" ship design, but I think they would just...

Ok lets engineer/geek out!!!! The maintainance issue is a good one. Especially if there is large bulk, or multiple service angles required. heat issue.. Also a good point considering the primary cooling mechanism is blackbody radiation or intentional vapor loss cooling. This would...

In addition to the shop above, Another has started modeling some more WC ships for sale on shape ways. Hopefully they will start doing higher-res ships so I can be saved the modeling time! http://www.shapeways.com/shops/wowskyguy?sg44049[rows]=5#sg44049 This guy did the Tallahassee that...

I was just browsing shapeways and found that someone has loaded 3 versions of the old-style bengal. Its lacking in detail but most people wont care. Im probably never going to model one of the old style bengals (I think its a little blocky/lacking grace) but for those who many want an old style...

Im glad you had fun. I thought it was great. Chaos, but I love the organized chaos of fleet battles. Frankly, I thought you played your hand exceptionally well. The cats were much more cautious because they could be, and because they figured it was better to let a few monkeys die first...

The Transcendent and escort of drones, scouts, and cruiser accelerate hard towards the gate to get within weapon range. The Steltek were fabled to have had weapons of terrible power. This carrier does not disappoint. The defense grid, coupled with the seemingly unstoppable drone/scout escort...
