Would anyone have a lead on where I could find sci-fi torpedo model? I'd be looking for something around the 15mm or so size but all suggestions are welcome. I'd prefer a 3d model not a counter or cut out. Something similar to this but with a better look.



Thank you in advance.
A dash of salt. A pinch of make believe. A dose of wishful thinking. A smidgen of truth. There you now have the recipe for a rumor.

I'd suggest buying a 1/144 scale A10 tankbuster kit and use the missiles from that as torpedos.

What about just buying one of those accessory kits you get for model planes? The ones that come with all the missiles and bombs.

Amarillo Design Bureau make drone minis for their Star Fleet Battles game. They're metal miniatures with plastic flight bases, and come in packs of six.

Here's a picture of the ones I painted for my long abandoned SFB Fighter game.

If you want to make your own, it's not hard to do - just put a piece of plastic rod into a cheap-o pencil sharpener, trim the sharpened rod to length, and use a little cereal packet to stick some fins on it. Rinse and repeat to get the desired number! ;)
