Happy Sunday!

Just curious how many peoples VSDs still have their fragile little antennas attached. (BTW, I checked the plural IS antennas-antennae are the bug mouth appendages).

I have two VSDs with antennas slightly bent, and one second hand without completely.

Share your battle damage!

3 VSDs. Managed to keep 1 without a broken antenna until a little while ago.

Now 2 have the antenna pulled completely, and 1 has the "broken" antenna.

3 totally intact... but outside the learning scenario, none of my VSDs have hit the table.

1 VSD, 1 broken antenna. I knew how flimsy it was, and it still broke.

4 x VSDs - 4 x Intact Antennas and 4 x Intact Gun Turrets... easily my proudest Armada achievement.

I own three (they’re staples in my Imperial fleets). Two have broken antennas.

Own two. The one from the core set still has both, the expansion one is missing one of its antennas.

3 intact antennas and one broken one here.

4 VSDs, 4 broken antennas. As soon as one broke beyond gluing I broke the other three and painted over the damage.

An Imperial fleet must be uniform and consistent.

3 VSDs, 3 intact antennas.

The way I see how some people treat their models, I am absolutely not surprised their stuff is broken.

That reminds me.

I was going to 3D Print Replacements.

Let me get on that.

Two VSDs, which I managed to keep in pristine condition for a year, and then I snapped both antennas one Saturday when I was packing away after a game, and drunk. Friends don't let friends play Armada drunk.

I thought they looked out of scale, so snapped them off both my VSDs.

My son literally snapped the antenna off the first time we played.

I have a second with the antenna intact.

You monster! =P

I made a little 3D printed cover to protect all of my victories! I have successfully flow with them and tossed them around in the back of a car with no troubles. I'll upload the design to thingiverse tomorrow if anyone else wants to print out some of their own and keep their plastic spaceships looking awesome.

I know of about 15 CSDs between all my friends and me. There are 2 with unbroken antennas and they both havent left the plastic box yet.

My two both have broken antennas, though they both still have the captain cannon

It is supposed to be a Fire Control Tower.

Classic, Ben.

Three VSDs, all of which have just the first stage of their vertical antennas remaining. The really skinny little part snapped off of all of them almost immediately, despite my meticulous efforts to prevent that. The forward-facing sensor boom or fire-control tower or whatever it is on all three is fine.

It’s funny; I was literally looking at those just last night, wondering how many VSDs still had their full antenna complement. Not many, from the sound of things.

One VSD left over from my original collection, that one is missing both due to an extended stay in the bits box 😂

The two from my current collection are both still in good shape, though I expect that to change if I ever actually use one!

Trifecta.

One GONE (came that way second hand)
One chonked off about 1/3-1/2 way up (battle damage!)
One intact miracle.

I feel like it's one of those cones you get for your dog lol. But good idea nonetheless. 😁
