This thread has now overseen the birth of the Japanese, Norwegian and Scottish aerial fleets!

Don't forget the yanks!   ;)

That looks seriously cool.  :o :-*
What size is it compared to a figure.
I am looking forward to seeing the five of these flying the flag for the British Empire.

Excellent idea. :) When you have completed them PM me and I'll create a sticky thread to show them off.

More news from Glasgow

Carpenters, platers and Riveters have been busy all night at the John Brown ship yards.
Spokesman for the yard Mr G Mac has stated that work is progressing at a very good rate. With the main hull laid down and riveted together and the lift wood planks fitted into place.
The Glasgow Herald has been given special dispensation to publish some rare pictures of the build to date.

Excellent stuff Gamer Mac! Look forward to seeing the superstructure take shape. I'll get some pics of mine with figures for scale very soon in the next build stage.

Malamute, I reckon that's a great idea to get a sticky going when we all have our ships done.

Sticky is a great idea, IMHO.

Would need to move a number of older threads to make sure that those who have built before us, and inspired us all, are front and center in the new sub-forum.

Having all those 'nefs in one place... yikes!

I am going to try and put some pics up of the latest build stage tonight for the British flyer. In the meantime I came across this site via TMP. Some great looking vessels at 1/48 scale from Stargate/ Galactica etc. Has anyone experience of this company or any ideas on prices? That Galactica shuttle would be HUGE on the tabletop:





Probably way too expensive. Maybe the puddle jumper shuttle though would have some conversion possibilities, or the wraith fighters for some Mars race?

So? What's the problem?  lol

That is certainly an interesting model. Looks a little too futuristic though. Could be converted like everything else though :)
