searching for a "miniature spaceship reference website..."
« on: April 24, 2019, 08:50:38 PM »
Hola LAFFers!

I have some spaceships. But I'm struggling to identify the manufacturer. All I know is they are from some obscure canadian casting outfit / games store. But I can't remember their name...

I know this fragment of info because ... many many moons ago, I stumbled quite by chance upon the most amazing website. It was devoted to spaceships. It was global and extensive - It listed miniature manufacturers and all the wonderful spaceships in their catalogues. I don't remember there being too many pictures; It wasn't the lost minis wiki, which I remember comparing it with and finding it didn't have such an extensive a list.

Lost the last two evenings searching for it to no avail... maybe its disappeared, like a magic shop. Kicking myself for not properly bookmarking... it was a treasure.
Does this sound familiar to anybody here? Perchance does anybody have any leads they can share? Gracias Amigos!

In the unlikely event that you can't find your target on Tom's site, there's also Starship Combat News, which hasn't been updated in years but still provides a useful nexus site for older stuff and a forum full of starship gamers who are pretty good about answering questions and with a sub-board devoted to 3D printed figs on Shapeways (a rapidly expanding sub-category):

And if you're on Facebook, there's a Starship Gaming group that's quite active:
