I ran into your ships on shapeways earlier this week. The prows seem a bit large for my taste but I like the rest a lot. I'm looking to build an imperial fleet soon so I might just give them a go :-)

Thank you very much guys, I'm glad you like them!

Which prows are too big? I think I can model a version with smaller prows, if you like them better! :)

The Imperialish Frigates B. The Lyrebird sized prows seem to work better imo. (My Chaotic Evil fleet hasn't got any vacancies however)

I see! I tried to change them a bit, here are some pictures!


To give a little background to the others, we are talking about the following frigates:

Here’s the version with smaller prows, I lifted it off the smaller torpedo frigate I made:

Drop the Firestorm and Sword names though. Don't want to raise ire of the Wendy Legal Hoplites of Doom.

Absolutely! That must have been a typo in the filename...

Yes, you hit the nail on the head.

Won't the inquisition object to the names on the pictures though? ;-)

edit: I see I'm late in posting that :-)

I think the second one is better, but if you could scale it down (not just shorter, but smaller in every dimension). Also a ridge along the edge... many players (including me) use that ridge for a highlight color to indicate squadron assignment. But yeah greatly improved!

I'll see what I can do for the ridge, Let me try a couple of things :)

In the meantime, I've been absent for a few days, but for a reason!

Here's my latest model, a Space Trader cruiser, 9 cm long.

Here's a picture of its components; apart from the batteries and antennas, I've kept the prow, engines and wings separate, to allow for some personalization.

I've also made different prows in the same style, with a large cannon or six torpedo bays.

For this one, I'll probably wait and test print a copy before putting it on sale, although it shouldn't have any printing problems...

As always, let me know what you think!
