I'm realy loving the Barloz Freighter! (All your X-Wing stuff, actually!

)

Didn't that feature in the Allegiance novel?

And is it a complete scratchbuild? If so, it's even more impressive for it!

Hey Daeothar,

Thanks for the comments. I don't know if the Barloz was featured in Allegiance, I've never read the novel. It's originally from the old WEG d6 RPG if I'm not mistaken. That's where I first encountered it, way back when. I used to run a campaign in the late nineties and it featured a Rebel privateer crew. This particular Barloz comes from that campaign. It was called the Fat Mynock and was mostly used as a boarding ship by the pirate gang.

The ship is a complete scratchbuild. It's all styrene and a few chopped up bits of paper clips.

Wonderful work.

If I was from FFG I'd be giving you a tap on the shoulder and asking about using your images and getting your work into production.

Spring is here, and you all know what that means: THREADOMANCY...

After a tumultuous 2018 which left me with precious little free time, here's a small update on my X-Wing stuff. I've wanted to build a bulk freighter for a long time and I finally decided to have a go at it in the last weeks. Here are the results so far.

Sub-assemblies, laid out in no particular order. Here's an "assembled" shot (underside is up)

Another one...

Finally, a shot in the correct, final angle.

It's still pretty much unfinished, but you get the idea. The design wasn't directly lifted from a SW original. It is however strongly inspired by rejected sketches of the Rebel Transport (of TESB fame) by Joe Johnston and/or Ralph McQuarrie. Hope you guys like it. It should be finished before the end of the decade...
