Hey everyone, I managed to find a Source for 3D printed ships for Outer Rim that uses Armada Stands!

Mel Miniatures: https://www.shapeways.com/shops/mel_miniatures

He made the whole set of ships available, or just the ships that do not come in Armada Expansions.

Here are the links so you can check them out and purchase them:

These are great! I'd like to use ship minis for the patrols as well. Between the Armada and Mel minis, I'm sure there are solutions available.

I wish I could.. .but the 0.04MB size limit won't let me show you anything with detail.

Here is a link to a Facebook image of my ships.

I don't have a Facebook account so I won't be able to see those photos. What I usually do is link to photos that I've uploaded to my BGG account.

Those are amazing... where did you get the character portrait stands from?

Is the ship stalk part of the standee or did you glue one on?

So Im the guy that modded the stands and painted the ships...so here is a build breakdown...

The stands are from etsy: BGHQ, and are the bottom load option, I used 2 sets so every character has their own stand and I can glue the bottom piece on.

Next up is the peg, which is also from Mel's...

https://www.shapeways.com/product/YYYPM82ER/armada-4x-squadron-pegs-for-2-ships?optionId=56589680&li=ostatus

I bought this set then used a sprue clipper and some sand paper to cut off the "cup" that the squadron peg goes in, then superglued it to the top of the BGHQ character frame.

Finally, the ships are from Mel's Outer Rim Full Player's set...

https://www.shapeways.com/product/B9LRMQM2H/armada-outer-rim-full-player-ship-set?optionId=110919944&li=shops

I used the paints from the Vallejo Game Color Intro set, plus some GW Nuln Oil to paint them.

Next up is Mel's set of the non-player ships (ie the patrols), but I am still working out a mounting system I like for them that holds the token in an indent on the bottom, plus then has a peg running up that can support the larger models of the Home One class MC80 and Imperial Star Destroyer.

@melminiatures as a side note, is the peg on the bottom of the non-player ships the Armada squadron/flotilla peg?

Are there files somewhere to print these out? Does Mel sell stl files?
