Very cool.

Thanks Aequitas. I'm still devising rules for the corvette's tractor beam. I suggested that it functions like an ion, but the corvette commander would get to move the ship in a 1 speed bank or straight in any direction. My regular gaming foe suggested 2 speed templates.

Since it would be easier to maintain a tractor beam once it was established, I thought about giving the TB one additional die to maintain the beam, or reducing the agility of the beamed ship by one. If the beamed ship is pulled up to the corvette's base, that ship has been captured. Only one ship can be captured. Destruction of the corvette releases that ship. Naturally I would attempt to capture the most destructive, or least agile ships in his fleet. I might also just pull his ships into range one and blast them with turbolasers.

I'll make him eat mines and asteroids too.

The first time I play this piece I think that the rebel mission will be to free a freighter from the corvette's talons.

Dude! you are the man! that looks professional, great job

Thanks Grave.

With every model I do, I get better. I think I could do an SSD soon.

After the guns were installed.

I WANT THIS

I saw a picture of the Hounds Tooth a few pages back, is that a ship your working on? is it a finished model? I'm hoping that FFG makes one for the bounty hunters

Lol. Thanks Killa. I think I offered to mail it to you at one point. I still have to hook up the electronics, paint the base, wash, etc.

Thanks Grave.

That marticular image was a 3D printing design made by Mel. You can buy it on Shapeways.com. I used his turrets for this guy and I have some more of his SW pieces coming off the printer this week. If you are not familiar with 3D printing, it is neat.

She's got a base. She's air born!

Still have plenty to do. Here is the fleet assembled.

BOLDA STRIKES!

You crack me up, but it's "Episode III Bolda Strikes Back."

We are going to use all of these monsters at once for a 400 point game.

how big is the hounds tooth?

Hound's Tooth would be right about 2 times the length of the Falcon..

Fun too, Ennit.

Go for a nice even 500.

Wookiepedia says that it is 62m long.

You know, I wasn't sure how good this would look, all things considered. But you've done a fantastic job! Makes me want to pick up my own Corvette and finish her up.

Please do. We need to cease the filth of piracy caused by the rebel scum.

For the record, Millennium, yours is way nicer.

Thanks.

Hey it's scratchbuild, but yours took just as much skill and imagination to get it to look that good! I love that low show next to the Millennium Falcon. It's got a really aggressive profile.

Thanks again Millennium.

I finished the wiring today. I took some pics in the basement then came back upstairs to paint the base, so that is done.

So the base isn't painted and the ship isn't washed in these pics, but I was just so excited to see it all lit up on the base. Hoep you all can see the crew.

Thanks for looking.

Awesome! When you run a game with all 3 beasts, please share pics.

Amazing... just... amazing... you did a great job congrats.

Not done yet. Thanks guys.

Out on patrol...

Bridge to logistics: our scanners show no inbound flights. Do you concurr? [Affirmative Captain. No registered freighters scheduled for this run]

Captain, sensors detect a ship coming out of light speed near Denab [Plot to intercept, helmsman.]

It seems your paperwork is in order. Thanks fo your compliance, we shall remember that and the case of Romulan ale which you donated to the Imperial Customs Corvette Charity.

It's a pirate ambush! What are your orders sir? [Exterminate them!] Pew! Pew! Pew!

Pew! Pew!

Sir, the pirates are fleeing the system! [Pursue them, signal Admiral Thrawn and send him a report.] Pew! Pew! Pew!

Captain to logistics: engage tractor beam onto one of the large freighters. Capture them!

Pew! Pew! Pew! Pew! Pew! Pew!

Engaging tractor beam, maneuvering into position. Bzzzzz Pew! Pew! Pew!

Man, that looks so cool! Those windows really add a sense of scale, and make it look alive. Same with the engines. That dark gray paint scheme isn't what I would pick (I'm a fan of Star Destroyer White for Imperial capships, myself), but it really compliments your model's shape.

I love the pirate ships, too. Do you have any more detailed pics of the hammerhead frigate, the Interceptor ugly, and the Y-TIEs?

Millenium,

I'll get some more pictures of the ships you asked about. I'll have them out for gaming tomorrow. I just put them away and don't feel like getting them all out again. I do have one pic that I took this morning before work. Please excuse my wife's ugly table cloth...

I will fly this tomorrow using the stats which Gosric provided. The only change which I made was to add two missile slots. I used the Firespary base, the reason is that is has firing arcs which I can use for the missiles which only fire broadside! From what I understand, Gosric designed this to be a sort-of planetary patrol vessel. I also ordered his freighter which is similar in design and size, The Voidrunner. I don't have that painted yet. The Voidrunner looks more like a freightor because it has fewer guns and more bulk.

Thanks again for the kind words. Have you worked on your ship lately?

Great stuff but go easy on the pew pew pew :-P
