Subject: List of Spaceship Miniatures and Games
Today during lunch I was in a local hobby shop, D&J Hobbies for
those
in the Silicon Valley, talking about the Superior Starfleet Wars
miniatures
that I recently bought. The clerk in the store brought out two unusual
space ships that I've never seen before. These are the USA Star
Carrier,
and USA Behemoth from the Galaktik Taktik line by PewterCraft.
I started thinking that it would be nice to have a list of spaceship
miniatures that are currently and have been producded. So I'm going to
put together just such a list. In addition, I'll compile information
about boardgames and miniatures rules for spaceship battles. Once I
have
enough information, I'll make the list available by email for any
interested,
and also put up a web site with this list. In addition, for the web
site
I'd like to get pictures of as many of the spaceships as possible.
I can get the information about the Full Thurst ships available from
GZG from their web site, and information about most of the Superior
Starfleet
Wars ships from the Game Masters web site.
But, I'll need help to get more information. I'm asking you all for
any of the following information and pictures for any spaceship
miniatures
and games, whether or not they are currently in production. I'd like to
have the name of the ship, model number, manufacture's name/address/
phone-number/email-address/web-site, model length, date first produced,
date last produced, approximate number made, and a picture if possible.
I'd also like simular information for spaceship combat games, along with
an estimate of their complexity, i.e. simple, medium, or complex.
Any and all help will be appreciated. All people providing
information
will be credited in the list and on the web page (unless you ask not to
be).
Particulary helpful will be catalogs listing spaceships and games. I'll
keep
you informed as the list grows.
Enjoy,
