X-Wing Mini Alternates/Customs

By Jordan Peacock, in X-Wing

Thanks for the link! That looks like a beautiful model, but it says it's about 6" long, which wouldn't be much longer than FFG's Millennium Falcon / YT-1300 model. (At 1:350 scale, that means they're going with the old 42m measurement.) It sure makes me wish there were some marvelous scaling tool I could use to take a "master" at one scale and somehow sculpt an exact duplicate scaled larger or smaller. :D

This might be handy for you

**** I wish i could grab Crimson Skies planes for that price, I have no interest in clix bases games but I loved the PC and Xbox games.

You've created some interesting pirate ships from them can you put them next to regular ships for comparison.

I seen these at CON recently and a huckster had them in the bin, "all the mini's you can grab with one hand for a dollar".

Like loose, or still in the packaging?

Loose forsure

I wish Crimson Skies would become popular again. Ive designed a bunch of my own alternate 1930s fighters but it would be nice to have easy access to more and an actual good reason for me to order mine *L*

I happened to have a photo I took recently of several of the custom ships at once, in case this helps to give a rough idea of size:

For context, the little square bases are 40mm x 40mm. The converted Crimson Skies craft are on 80mm x 40mm bases. The Micro Machines Headhunter is AWFULLY close to the size of the standard FFG starfighters, but I didn't have any FFG originals in this particular shot. (I was just goofing off and took a photo of several of the ships I used in my last game session.) I'll see if I can line up a more useful size comparison for the Crimson Skies modified models this weekend or thereabouts.

Please don't do it, if you want to play X-Wing, at least buy the ships of the game, greettings.

He’s using it for wreckage so there’s no harm with that brother. If he was manufacturing game pieces, that’s certainly an “ehhh...really bro?” moment.

I’m pretty sure that after 4 years this issue isn’t eating away at any of their consciences anymore.

I could be wrong though. Good catch.

Lol, true. I was reading up on some wreckage ideas, noticed this, and fired a torpedo...of course after the ship sunk, haha.

Ha ha, they still sell those (crimson skies models) for cheap on miniature market. **** I might have to get some to use as pirates or local militia fighters.

They’re cool figs.

The game is pretty good too. Reminiscent of x-wing in a lot of ways.
