The Fleet of Starport 69. 28mm space ships for various sci-fi games.

I am planning on building a spaceport. 

Here is another ship mostly done.

More pics on my blog.

That's a fantastic ship and a vast improvement on the original 

It's great to see such stuff done on a tight budget!

Yeap, that looks pretty cool. It's a great idea to mask the windscreen and paint it smaller, it makes the ship much better proportioned and more useful. I've been a searched one of the local toy shops today for anything so I could mercilessly steal your idea, but to no avail, still there's 2 more in town.

One of my sons has a few of those same planes for his action figures.  I've often looked at them as potentials but the huge cockpit put me off.  They are only $5 at Wal-mart IIRC so might get some after seeing your PJ.  Nice One!

missed this thread the first time... whats the long grey one on the front right?

[wolf8564]

Can you please tell me where you got and the manufactuer of the Ship on the far left of your picture. Very cool I must have one Thanks.

[Ironworker]

@ anevilgiraffe that's from a JLA action figure line.  Haven't seen any in stores for years but I have seen them on e-bay now and again.  You might try searching JLA spaceship or JLA plane.

@ wolf8564 the ship you are asking about is one if found in a Dollar General store several years ago.  I've neve seen one for sale since then.

Unfortunately finding good spaceships is completely hit or miss.  Good toys usually don't stay on the market all that long for some reason.  I really need to take an updated pic of my fleet with details about every ship but most of them are already off the shelves.

I just thought I would post an updated shot of my fleet.  As you can see it has almost doubled in size.  Unfortunately my pace at gettting ships finished has not.

While I have a pretty respectable motorpool for our local pulp games, your starship-pool puts it shame. The visual impact is amazing and they look great. Nice work.

... it has almost doubled in size.  Unfortunately my pace at gettting ships finished has not. 

  send your ships to the rest of us for painting... nothing can go wrong with that idea... our address is 'Fellow Gamers, 2b The Internets, Everywhere, 5318008 ...

This is such a great collection of ships, I don't like to look at this thread too often because it makes me too envious. But then I have to give in (about, once a month or so, even for the whole of 2010 when no-one posted) and just gaze at all the pretty, chunky, finned, nacelled, radar-dished sci-fi glory. Really a stunning collection.

Thanks guy!  Here's one I finished yesterday.  Just a little pirate starfighter.  This is the cheapest starship toy I have.  I piced up a few of these years ago at a $1.00 shop for a dollar each.

That's no way to speak of the lady!

What? He didn't? The fighter PLANE? And, anyway, she isn't ?

*ahem* Never mind.

I'm seeing at least a couple of GI Joe items; have you tried any of the bigger planes?

Also, Ironworker, you aren't too far from Lee's Summit; do you ever get to Recruits?

I just got three more ships off Amazon all G.I. Joe vehicles. 

@Doug:  I've been to Recruits a few times but I've missed the last couple. 

[Doomsdave]

Oooh.  That white one is a GI joe Shark flying sub.  I used to have that one when I was little.
