I remember these models. Why ? - because we made the masters for
them. IIRC we made three ranges of half-a-dozen models, one of
conventional 'human' ships, one of alien asteroid types and one of
humanoid delta-shaped ships (a bit in the style of a Star Destroyer
but they flew blunt end forwards - the engines were at the
pointy-end, for those who know their nautical terminology). The
models were fairly small, the largest ones were around FT heavy
cruiser sized. Chariot Miniatures produce them on behalf of another
company (whose name I can't recall at the moment) who originally
commissioned the masters from us. It's nice to know that someone
likes what we've done.
Without turning this post into a hugely off-topic trade ad., can I
humbly point anyone interested at the following URL :
http://www.uk-net.com/uk/freeweb/users/brigade
where more models from the same designer can be found. There are no
pictures on the site apart from sketches and some CGI, although I
should get some photos up eventually. There are a couple of photos on
Bill Armintrout's miniatures page, however, along with a review :
