I've noticed quite a lot of really good fan based artwork appearing on this site of the expanded universe ships and I was wondering if there a good source for plan views of both Imperial and Rebel capital ships?

I'm looking to make a tile set or game mat for my own use and I quite fancy a dog fight over a larger battle or the deck of a Super Star Destroyer.

Most of the images of the larger ships that I can find through Google are from an isometric viewpoint and although that would work I'm not overly keen on that aesthetic for my mat.

I've seen the CR90 template from David Lamont on Diviant Art and that is the style of thing I'm looking for but for the capital ships.

Does anyone have any links to images like that of these big boys?

+1 to this. Actually, I'll make it +100.

The overhead/plan views are awesome!! I just printed up the 1/270 scale Corellian Corvette. It's *perfect* for having a capital ship on the board that can still be maneuvered around and on top of. It's part of the game without hampering the game. THIS is the way to go with capital-scale ships, IMHO.

Would love to have one of these for the Imperial Star Galleon. It's not the size of the Star Destroyer but would be ideal for this game. An Interdictor would be nice too.

This link is top view of a Star Destroyer, It's too large to post here.

You can also look at the thread I did up a while back that looked into this.

That Vigil corvette is REALLY sweet. Looks like I'm gonna have to spring for more printer ink and add that baby to my collection

Thanks Sergovan.

Are there any plans of the rebel ships that you know of? Mon Cal or such.

Thanks Sergovan.

None of the big or medium ships will be in. A Mon Cal cruiser would be something like 6 meters long. I see anything from 250 meters (from wookiepedia scale) or under.

I am *severely* tempered to print the ISD and use it somehow. If only in part (the conn tower section would be awesome for the Flytrap mission!)

We use flat capital ships and play on black felt on pool table. So play area is 3"x6". I think flat capital ships are great for play. Maybe we could print small capital ships on vinyl banners and cut them out. There is another post on printing mats on vinyl banners. Then you could roll them up to store them.

I plan to do a scratch build 3D Action IV. Does anyone know if any of the reference books have side/top/front/rear detail pics of that ship?

Thanks Sergovan.

My plan is to try and do a couple of mats.

The first being an ISD at scale (or there about) as a gameboard with objectives such as sensor, shields, etc.

The second being a backgound star battle such as the one above Endor. The ships wouldn't need to be to scale (except relative to the chips they are fighting) for that but I prefer the top down view as opposed to ships flying on multiple vectors. I know that in a space battle they wouldn't all be lined up on a single plain, but in my eye I'd prefer it to look that way.

By the same merrit Vaders SSD (Excecutor?) would also be nice in plan view.
