When last we left our intrepid heroes…!

I had a special request to make some ships in the same scale as my MicroFleet offerings, so here are some ships and fighters designed for use in pulp-era wargaming or with RPG's such as PEG's Slipstream (a Savage Worlds off-shoot). Inspiration came from Slipstream and many screenshots of Flash Gordon, Crash Corrigan, and other 30's through 50's sci-fi serials.

I call them… the Atomizers!

Could you please use something universal like an AA battery for those unfamiliar with that coin? Or perhaps only available in US?

A fleet for the Retronians! (G.O.B.S.! faction)
Is it possible to make the fighters individual ships, and not molded onto the base surface? I've never liked the "fighter token" look.

But otherwise these are awesome.

Those are some pretty cool models. Thanks!

I also have a Pound coin that I can include for reference.

@Parzival: I molded the fighters onto the base because they're too small to print otherwise. I could try molding them onto a triangular sprue and mounting that on top of a flight base, I suppose. Let me see what I can make work along those lines.

Nice work there, man!

I love your projects. So much fun.

I've never liked the "fighter token" look.

Understood, but I've no problem if the token is mounted on a base. My problem would be an element of only two fighters, but cogitating, some painted 'ghosts' underneath would work.

Yet again, my avoidance of Shapeways is sorely tested.

Come to the dark side. We may not have cookies, but we can print some in very high resolution…

Very nice.

Best,

Any chance of a version of this set without the fighters in it?

Personal logo javelin98 Supporting Member of TMP10 Jun 2014 11:35 p.m. PST

Sure, if you'd like. Give me a couple days and I'll get that arranged for you!

Cool! :-)

Many thanks!

These would work very well with Hard Vacuum I'm thinking.
Any Vacuumites out there given this any thought?
