Another blog entry, this time some Shapeways loveliness for my X Wing games, although some subjects rather outside the usual for that game…..

Very nice, Sir! And the additional pics on your blog are cool as well.

What sizes are all those fighter minis, if I might ask?

The models are 1/270, so about an inch or an inch and a half long

And nicely compatible with 6mm stuff.

Are the BR also Shapeways?

I suppose you could proxy the ED Thunders as Frazi…

Droooooll…. Lovely stuff David. As asked above, are they all from Shapeways?

No wishing to disparage or discourage – but aren't the winglets at the back of the engine pods in the stowage position?

Doesn't make much difference in space, I strongly suspect, though. :)

I did consider building an EF squadron for X-Wing, but money (or the lack of) got in the way… that and I did doubt my local X-Wingers would be willing to play me – some are a bit religious when it comes to 'Wars.
