So, for the benefit of those who might need a little extra inspiration for their terrain projects . . .

QUESTION:

What cool images of crashed spaceships have you found, accidentally or intentionally, in your many Internet searches?

I guess I'll start the list with this one I've just found:

How about these two from Fallout 3…

How about

Top Gun Ace06 Oct 2010 11:29 a.m. PST

Hmmm, there's the large on on the Mos Eisley WotC table, that is almost vertically planted in the ground.

Sorry, can't recall the link, but it can be found under a search for Mos Eisley terrain and buildings.

There's a beauty over at CMON, I'll try to post a link when real life gets out of the way but the boss is due at work about now.

There's a painting by Angus Mckie, that was used on the cover of White Dwarf #17. It's the one with the unfortunate crew member in the foreground, and the enormous remains of the ship in the distance.

I'm surprised no one brought up this classic: picture

Top Gun Ace06 Oct 2010 1:14 p.m. PST

Hmmm, haven't seen that last one before.

The girl looks a bit disinterested in all the events going on, but at least her hair still looks good. No doubt dreaming about her upcoming date night…..

Farstar06 Oct 2010 1:45 p.m. PST

There's an entire book of them: Stewart Crowley's "Space Wreck".

Little Big Wars06 Oct 2010 1:53 p.m. PST

@Top Gun Ace

Just as an aside, the Mos Eisley wreck is supposedly the Dowager Queen, the original colony ship that Mos Eisley was built up around.

Toaster06 Oct 2010 1:54 p.m. PST

Found it

I like the one made in GW Red How to Make Terrain Book, which was also in an old white dwarf. It used the rebel transport playset as a cargo hold.

I also liked the one created by Mongoose? using Justice League satelite playsets for their Starship Troopers table shown in their Starship Troopers Miniature Game Painting guide.

Am I allowed to post pictures on my model terrain board featuring a crashed Flash Gordon style ship?

"Momoiro" beat me to it with his first post. Thats what I immediately think of.

Cacique Caribe06 Oct 2010 7:12 p.m. PST

Wow. Check this out.

Someone used this . . .

. . . as the inspiration for making this:

A friend of mine stuck one of the old saucer sections of the Enterprise into a terrain piece. It was used for Epic gaming. Very striking as well as good cover.

Cacique Caribe06 Oct 2010 7:23 p.m. PST

Top Gun Ace,

Did the Dowager Queen wreck on the Mos Eisley terrain board look anything like this one?

We all know that third Pitch Black ship is a tilt-shift "reverse-forced-perspective" photo of the life size ship made to look like a mini, right?

Little Big Wars06 Oct 2010 8:27 p.m. PST

This is the proper Dowager Queen…

Cacique Caribe06 Oct 2010 8:31 p.m. PST

Astranagant,

That's one of the pics I was trying to locate. Good find!

Dan

Jakse37506 Oct 2010 8:50 p.m. PST

I don't have a pic but i always liked the battleship through a skyscraper shot from "Fist of the North Star".it would be even cooler with a starblazers style battleship sticking through it.

Cacique Caribe06 Oct 2010 8:51 p.m. PST

This is cute:

Well I can't speak for anybody else but -I- sure was aware of that. It is most definitely NOT a miniature!

Ah, the Icarus. That's the one I was going to post. Part Gemini capsule, part Traveller "Scout/Courier", all coolness.

If there are watching as right now, i like to say thats not my view, your overlords i welcome you….. :-)

Cacique Caribe08 Oct 2010 9:27 a.m. PST

Something like this could be scratch-built as a crashed vehicle, don't you think?

Just bought some unlikely bits for what I hope will be a cool crashed spaceship piece:

TTA books are cool, but I don't have that one.

I will take the Elysium from the best "space hulk-ish" and game worthy giant ship movie in my humble yet correct :) opinion picture

That is a cool-looking crashed ship:

Andrew,

Wow. I really love that first link in your post!

Thanks,

Found this one today, and while not crashed it is moored permanently…weeds and all :)

Sargonarhes30 Jul 2011 9:24 a.m. PST

Here's a crash in progress.

link

Ok so there was nothing left after that one except a crater 100km across, kind of exaggerated maybe.

Can never find a picture of the crashed SDF-1/ Macross when you want it.

Sargonarhes31 Jul 2011 12:32 p.m. PST

What happened to my link?
It was a colony dropping. Well this link might not work either, but you don't get to see very much of all the ships crashed on Na Pali in the game Unreal. But it seems the Skaarj bring a lot of ships down on that little planet.

I didn't expect the image to show up like that however.
