Build Something Contest - Traveller Spacecraft?
« on: November 08, 2022, 04:09:06 AM »
Not sure I'm allowed to propose a "Build Something Contest", since I'm not sure who is in charge of that, and there may be one ongoing already, but am interested in doing this anyway, so who's up for an unofficial, BSC for the Traveller, Striker, or other similar universe of Sci-Fi RPG figs (no Star Wars or Star Trek models, if you please)?

3-D prints don't count - must be something olde skool in nature, made by hand from various materials, wood, paper, cardboard, styrene, insulation foam, etc., etc..

Models can be in any scale you choose, though I suspect 15mm, 25mm/28mm, and 6mm are some of the more popular ones that can go with existing minis.

Let's say with a 3+ month deadline, of Feb. 28th, giving a little extra time to account for downtime to spend with family over the holidays, OR an excuse to bow out of spending too much time with them, if you are in need of that.

No REAL prizes to speak of other than bragging rights, unless someone/multiple people want(s) to volunteer to pony up for those.

Post your thoughts, designs, and/or submissions here if you are so inclined.

Looking forward to seeing what you come up with.

I think it would be a good theme.
Past experience though tells me that I would struggle
to do this AND another 'thing' for the comp. (if this wasn't accepted).

Unless I could cover both with one project.  ;)

We usually have a general theme that can be interpreted in different ways so that gamers of different genres can participate, fantasy, colonial, modern sci-fi, etc. Something specifically sci-fi would knock out a bunch of us.

How about, 'An individual's transport'   ???
Could be wide open to interpretation.

Not sure about the "individual" part - how about just transport? This then leaves a suitably wide enough possibility for any genre/period etc.

Just call it build a "Conveyance" that covers transport for any time period or genre......

Build something?  Yes.  So restrictive as in OP?  No, well not for me.  Maybe that is because I have just recently embarked on 15 mm Star Wars as a new collection/adventure?! 

Now, would a crashed star destroyer count as a "conveyance" - it does get it's crew from place to place?  Looks like I will need to build such a thing for my "debris field" from an ancient battle in space that fell to "earth" but not actually earth, more like Tatooine, or something similar.  Would such a model count?
