"Props or no props?" Topic

I cut a number of disks printed on acetate with propeller disks on them. They came from Fiddler's Green (great company that makes cool paper models of lots of stuff)

What do folks think?

Do the ships look better with props or not?

I like the props. Keeps them from looking like just another tank.

Agree. The props give them uniqueness and identify the specific propulsion. They're also good for …

They do make them unique – I would keep them

Ummm … No. Just no.

Without the whoosh-lines, it's vaguely possible.

What's supposed to be making these thing float?

They fly by the anti gravity method of your choice. I use Aerolyth in the Hive, Queen and Country Universe.

I don't particularly care for them. Would anti-grav create a "cloud" of some type under the vehicle?

In my Victorian Science Fiction setting no cloud, other settings will vary

My vote would be props, no decoration.

Would anti-grav create a "cloud" of some type under the vehicle?

Why not? Action. Reaction. Little bits caught in the crossfire.

'cuz gravity doesn't do it, so why should anti-gravity?

Contrary I, I like some whoosh,though would have preferred in grey, or similar subdued tone.

Props just don't really make sense with the shapes of the vehicles.

These are Victorian Era so props are as good as things get. The original miniatures were Laserburn and those certainly would not have gotten props.
