Crashed spacecraft?

[Sinewgrab]

Does anyone know of any pre-made crashed spacecraft other than the Aquila from the GW Battle of Macragge box?  I really don't feel like making my own, and want to have a crashed spaceship for a terrain piece for a specific scenario I am building.

Any clues for me, or do I just get the knives and smash up a model?

Ainsty do a small crashed shuttle but it's very basic.

Wasn't there a crashed UFO in resin for the new mars attack game?

Yep - there is one.

Not sure about commercial ones.
Monolith used to have a resin-cast crashed Roswell style saucer a few years ago.

Some of the Victorian/steampunk SF tunneling machines emerging from the ground might also be a possible - might need to add tail fins or a debris trail.

Best large one I saw was home made using the remains of a "Dyson" cyclone vaccuum cleaner, cut at a jaunty angle and fixed to a base.
If you don't want a huge wreck, you can get toy Dysons....

You can use a papercraft one from here http://www.toposolitario.com/workshop/index_papermodels.html

This one for example:

Thanks for the link Pijlie, that's an excellent idea & best of all it's free!!!

Huh.  I think the best I can remember seeing was the old Star Wars Rebel Transport that Games Workshop cut up for a crashed spaceship.  I was afraid I was going to have to either buy a cheap kit and smash it, and it is looking more and more like it.

And while the papercraft are neat, I have never been a fan of paper - too easily destroyed.

I think the wrecked vacuum cleaner may have been for a Starship Troopers table

Paper if well treated will last you years. I have a modern cityscape that is now 8 years old and has served in dozens of games and still looks good. And the skyscrapers are foldable!

Here are some more papercraft ships to crash

I think my favorite was a Jupiter II and the engines from SW Pod racer splattered over a table landscape, but THAT was a) a lot of work, b) probably expensive.

So, how big were you thinking, both of the craft and the foot print of the site? Any proprietary lines to steer clear of? "I can't used a crashed Galaxy Quest!"

Out of curiosity, what don't you like about the GW one?

I have it and think it is pretty cool.

[Sinewgrab]

I'd like a footprint of somewhere between 10 and 18 inches in diameter of total space.

I don't mind the GW one, but I am on a budget, and cannot find it for less than $35 (with shipping) - and that is an awful lot for what that is.

I have never had one last longer than 1 season, but I also have to store my terrain in boxes in the garage when it is not in use.

Just to prove it, here is a picture of them from last september:

Oh, I don't disbelieve you - I just have had zero luck, and am not a fan of the look anyway.

That is a nice looking board, though.
