New Mon Calamari ship to add to my Rebel Fleet

By Captain Gideon, in Star Wars: Armada

Yesterday I got a package from Shapeways with several things including the Mon Remonda my newest Mon Calamari ship and my latest addition to my Rebel Fleet.

From what I gather it's as big as a Liberty and very well armed.

And it's another great mini from Mel's Miniatures which I must thank for another great looking ship and Mel do you have anymore Mon-Calamari ships that you might be coming out with down the road?

Once it's painted I'll try and post pictures very soon.

So has anyone else gotten one of these ships?

According to the Google I just did that's an awesome looking ship!

Wes Janson painted up a Mon Ramonda that's become my default mental image for the ship. It's a cool look but the Mon Ramonda's horseshoe crab look has never been something I particularly liked as far as actual design aesthetics go.

I've got Mel's MC40a and Wingless Liberty, they really are more my style.

Even if unpainted I am always interested in seeing side by side shots of the shapeways models with their tournament official brethren, so pics would be awesome!

Hell I would go for one of these as a second Liberty.

It's gorgeous!

MC40a looks like a Battlestar.

Aye, the MC40 sorta does look like a battlestar, but not as much as Fractelsponge's Dread's. And I'm totally good with that :P

Well, here's the 'Alt-Cal' stuff I've got.

Home One, Wingless Liberty "Reef Home", Liberty.

Note: Reef Home is on a Medium height stand, didn't notice it till I put it away.

Rebel Assault Frigate Mk.II 'Extended Cab', MC40a, MC30c, MC30c 'Winged Scout'

Note: Added a second picture because the MC40a is a weirdly deceptive thing in pictures given how broad and flat it is. Mel also put out an 'upside down' version too, which looks fine as I rarely got the orientation right in the games.

I can't see those pictures

Can't help you there, they work fine on my browsers and phone.

I can't see those pictures

You might have tinypic blocked or something. Only reason why it wouldn't.

I love the winged 30.

I love the winged 30.

Me too. Made one of my own because of Vykes. Then again, most of the "Made of my own" can be blamed on Vykes.

Did you happen to see the up-side-down variant of the MC40? I think I prefer that one, honestly.

Yeah, works at home. Must have been work's firewalls.

I have not seen the upside down one

I've got both Mel's Liberty and Mon Remonda, both are absolutely beautiful sculpts. Mel's Liberty is also larger than the Mi'lady is, both length and width. More battleship to battle cruiser if you will.

That picture of the MC80s is amazing. I love how different and unique they all are!

I'll be posting pictures of the Mon Remonda in the next few days as I need to take them and I might put some other Mon Calamari ships in there as well.

Remonda should be more powerful than a liberty shouldn't it?

Okay just took some pictures of my Mon Remonda and the rest of my Mon Calamari Fleet let me know what you think:

That is a beautiful fleet

Yes only 3 are 3d printed the Mon Remonda,Liberty and the MC40 Light Cruiser.

Thanks admiralcrunch I agree it is a beautiful Fleet and this is only part of my Rebel Fleet but it's a big part.

Mel's Miniatures has done many great ships like the Super Star Destroyer and the Mon Calamari ships and without him my Rebel Fleet would be very small indeed.

Michael

Thanks! :)
