Some time ago I found a fantastic conversion and paintjob on the now-defunct FFG forums. It was such a cool model that eventually I tried my hand at a a similar conversion.

Nice stuff. Back as a player in my first ever Traveller campaign, my character owned and flew a 100 ton Free Trader named the Wyvern.

Thanks John, blackjack and Parv!

Had a quick look, and there are pics of original X Wing miniatures and mods, among other subjects.
