Post subject:  Scratch built Battlecruisers (Warning: pics!)

Hi. A while ago I mentioned some Impperial Battlecruisers I was working on.
Today I gave them a basic drybrush so hopefully it is possible to get an idea of what they'll look like.

I allways thought Battlecruisers should look a bit beefier compared to the standard cruisers of the line. Especially when you compare the Overlord to a Gothic. There's just something wrong.
Anyway I scratch built these ships using bitz and pieces from my bitz box. I chopped up a single cruiser for parts which resulted in these 3 ships + a pocket battleship.
On all these ships the prow has been widened a bit. the body is constructed from wood with plastic bits and Green stuff stuck on.

First up is the Mars (on the bottom pic I've includedd a Tyrant for size comparison)


Next is the Overlord (Unfortunately the prow ram broke just before I took the pic)


And finally the Armageddon. Since this ship is supposed to be based on the Lunar class cruiser, this is the ship I've used most parts from the standard cruiser on.



Cheers!  :)

Very impressive.

Wouldn't mind having some of them myself.

Don't suppose you've thought of making them to sell? :blues:

Not a bad idea really... :D  If I buy the cruiser boxes needed it'd fill up my bitz box again! :D

Seriously though. Well maybe at some point I might sell some of my stuff like the things I never really use ayway so I guess you never know.

Cheers!

Those are very nice WMN! I must admit Ive wanted to try 'beefing up' the Battlecruisers for a while, as I feel it seems strange them being exactly the same size too.

Not sure I could do a job that well tho', the Armaggeddon in particular is good, really nice and beefy, it kinda looks like the sort of Spacesraft Chrysler would make...:-:
