SirWilli's Workshop: Armada stuff

By SirWillibald, in Star Wars: Armada

I also plan to add such "ComboHangars" (lack a good name, yet, suggestions welcome) for the older small ships that tend to break (CR90, Neb-B, ...)

Combohangars for any ship that attaches with a peg, instead of a keyhole stand would be great. Neb-Bs, CR90s, Raiders and Flotillas are a very fragile, and several of mine have had the stands cut out and completely replaced with 2mm brass wire, glued at both ends.

Thanks for all your hard work making these boxes, its magic stuff, really.

Still on my list, have to take care of some Imperial Assault stuff first.

And thanks for the praise, btw! :)

Curious,

Where do you get the art you put on these boxes? Seeing as how theyre the same size i'd like to get my Wave5 squads in boxes but the OCD in me needs the art to be similar lol.

Various sources, sometimes from google image search, sometimes scans from cards or expansion boxes. Wave 5 SquadHangars will follow, still waiting for the german release...

Hahaha... I showed my new armada hangars to my wife, she said " that's nice, where did you get them ?" ... and I told her that I had been building them right in front of here over the past couple of days... she gave me a very unconvincing look :)

Just in case you're wondering, all the new squadrons fit within your current box designs. Everything fits perfectly in the regular box size, with the Lambda Shuttle requiring the slightly larger Firespray-31 box.

Ah, screw that, you just shattered my excuse for waiting... **** it... ;)

SirWilli, if you do decide to do the squadron boxes and need any artwork scanned, I'd happily do that for you :)

The VCX-100/Ghost squadrons don't fit the standard hangars either, they are slightly taller (by about a couple of mm).

Thanks for the offer, unfortunately I don't have much time at the moment, lots of things at work and been ill and still recovering. On top of that my desktop monitor just gave in and I can't do anything at all at the moment. :(

But wave 5 is finally available here in Germany and I hope to get my ships anytime soon...

Just be patient, sorry for the delay, as always it's only a matter of time, new stuff will be released for sure!

Sorry guys, been busy. Here's a little status update:

Finished work on X-wing wave 10, two new wave 5 Armada Hangars are next on my list. Unfortunately I still don't have the new squadrons or Corellian Conflict, but this is only a matter of time.

If you like to keep up with, feel free to subscribe to my new Facebook page, I will post some minor updates and WIP shots there from time to time. But of course new stuff will be announced here and on my website, as well.

I'd also go with "Phoenix Home."

Phoenix Home wins for me.

Thanks everybody! I think I'll give it a try and use the official expansion designation for each hangar, at least this will be somewhat consistent.

Awesome work as always, thanks SirWilli :)

Long time no see, folks, back on track! Feel free to subscribe to my facebook page, updating this more often than here. But I will let you know here as well when wave 6 stuff is done.

Hey guys, just noticed something, the MicroHangar and the GearBox for the Carrier have different names at the moment, that's rather dumb... Which one do you prefer: "Imperial Light Carrier" or "Quasar Fire Class Cruiser-Carrier"? I'm undecided, the "Quasar Fire" sound really cool, but it's a rather long title.

Posted at

"Quasar-Fire" does sound bloody cool, but "Imperial Light Carrier" is more technically correct. That said, I'd always thought of the Gozanti as being Imperial Light Carriers.

Firstly, thank you so much for making these. They look great on the shelf, are easy to transport and almost as much fun to assemble as playing the game. I tip my hat to you Sir Willibald.

I would prefer "Imperial Light Carrier". Quasar fire is cool but the full "Quasar Fire Class Cruiser-Carrier" is a bit of a mouthful and I don't like to see the text dominate the box too much.

Thank you, that's really nice, I'm flattered! :)
