I'd make the room!  Wanna go halfsies?  We keep it at my place though...

Actually, I'd probably have plenty of room for it, seeing how my wife would leave me if I bought it!!

Well....I have been scouring the web for a few days now, looking for SPACESHIPS that would fitting into the 30mm figure world....

Here some I found:



Galactic Raider, Resin Kit...Hard to find, pretty damn pricey...anywhere from 75-150 bucks.    Scale 1/48  I like it quite a bit.

Another 'battlestar galactica' ship The Cylon Raider (made in the late 70's) model kit.




  I just got one off Ebay for dirt cheap...It looks like it will be good size wize....I hope I can make it as good as the pic here..

Really Nice ScratchBuild!!!! Far beyond the realms of my meagre modelling skills!!! :cry:
Supervike: you said you had a lead on the Mechwarrior toy, I assume you mean the GI JOE "IronHammer".
I just got one and it's really quite cool! It's big , about 19cm and wouldn't take a lot of converting to 28mm scale. The main problem is the large cockpit to accomodate the 2 1/2" GI JOE figures. This can be sorted by blocking out some windows.

I will post some pics when I convert it.
BTW it's only $9.99 in the US , so it's a real steal!!!!

I was talking about the DropShip that was made for MECHWARRIOR (one of the links up to the top of this thread)....I was going to get it from EBAY....but I decided to try my luck scratchbuilding and converting.

I definately will be getting one of the GI JOE things!  

I also just ordered these:  



Not sure of the quality of them, but I'll kitbash what I don't like!!

They have some other cool looking stuff...

I've got the T-Rex model by IMEX ( The walker type mech) and it is very good. I was going to paint mine up with a police light-bar and turn it into an "Urban Pacifier" for near future skirmishing.
I'm not too sure about the other stuff by IMEX but at the price you should at the very least get some good kit-bashing material!!!

The whole set was only 33 dollars, so I figured its worth a try.

Well....the IMEX stuff I ordered fell through....the 'owner' of the site said he didn't have them in stock anymore....damn.


I did just download a paper spaceship from WorldWorksGames....i figure for 15 bucks, at the very least it may be a good 'scale reference'.



Keep us informed on that Dropship!

Here's a few pics of the MechWarrior DropShip I've just picked up





And some size comparisons

CREW


Dem-Bot ( Okay I need to paint it!)


Salvage Dog ( A bit snug but I'm going to put a turntable in so it can swivel in and out)

I'm pretty pleased with it. I Just need to think up some company logos!
I'm still going to convert the "GI JOE" Drop-Ship as a pirate ship!
