Re: [GZG] [FT] cool ship minis

[Robert N Bryett <rbryett@xxxxxxxx>]

These designs look great, though I think the pictures are just 3D  
renders rather than anything "real". I imagine all those spikes and  
vanes round the "engine bells" at the sterns of the ships would be a  
bear to mould.

As for size, how long are DD-class ships from GZG for example (That's  
not a rhetorical question BTW, I don't actually know)? I don't think  
the "Ten Worlds" background envisages honking great space  
dreadnoughts. Also I believe the overall size of the largest proposed  
minis would be constrained by the need to fit within some kind of  
transparent box, to work with the stacked plastic blocks required by  
the AV:T 3D manoeuvre system. Here's an example holding an  
"Honorverse" ship mini:

I love the "Ten Worlds" designs BTW. They are so much how I imagine  
space warships "ought" to look. We mostly play FT with home-built  
minis assembled from plastic wall-plugs (Rawlplugs in the UK?),  
wooden beads, dowels etc. that have a distinct family resemblance.

Best regards, Robert Bryett
