I've been thinking of getting one also... I have seen it and it's on my shapeways favorites.. maybe before xmas is over

Just for the sakes of it I'd like to show my YT-2000 which I've modeled in 3ds max, had Shapeways print in Frosted Ultra Detail and painted with acrylics. Now I'm pretty sure "Frosted Detail" (without the "Ultra") would have been enough, as you can even see "detail" like the polygon subdivisions around the cockpit tube. Ah well, live and learn - better than having it printed with too little detail. (More photos can be found HERE )... and is it allowed to share custom 3D models on here?

Awesome you should have make a mold of your mini. The only thing I might add rules wise is some sort of drawback for using this ship. Maybe have it take two face up cards from crits. Lore wise it is an amazing ship but production was rushed because of corp sabotage and they were built with some design flaws. Maybe have it so the Otana has that flaw removed.

Awesome model, I want me one. Can I ask what Shapeways is and what do you mean by having it printed? Is this cardstock?

Shapeways is a 3D printing company. From what I understand, they have various 3D printed models of various ships and other random things, or you can also send them your own design and have that printed out as well.

Here.. check this model here

https://www.shapeways.com/model/1054234/i-te-dosmil-jan-s-version.html?li=user-profile&materialId=6

it is best in frosted detail material, but it is pricy.. the cost is figured in the material and how much of it there is.. basically.. i.e. the square cm of it has a cost.. and this is a solid model. if I remember correctly that is (cost wise)

Apologies for the thrednomancy but I'm pretty new to X-wing & have only just seen this. I was wondering if anyone else had ordered one of these from Shapeways & if there was an opinion on the difference between frosted & frosted ultra detail?

Cheers.

Really nice looking model, and rule wise looks good as well.

Model and paint job are great! Very nice work!

Holy cow, October 2013!

Well, i've seen some one bring back the post on the speculation on the amount of miniatures from the core set, so this one isn't half bad, honestly.

I've used Shapeways for a number of my own designs.

I've use the frosted detail and the lower resolution white and flexible material. For gaming I would say the frosted detail material is too brittle. The white and flexible material is far more durable and quite a bit cheaper.

To the designer of the YT2000 is the wall thickness over 0.8mm? If it is it will print in the white and flexible material.

The photo below is of my 1/700th Highlander Class LAC from David Weber's Honor Harrington books(The model 210mm long) in the white flexible material. The model is hollow and printed in 3 pieces.

Just for the sakes of it I'd like to show my YT-2000 which I've modeled in 3ds max, had Shapeways print in Frosted Ultra Detail and painted with acrylics. Now I'm pretty sure "Frosted Detail" (without the "Ultra") would have been enough, as you can even see "detail" like the polygon subdivisions around the cockpit tube. Ah well, live and learn - better than having it printed with too little detail. (More photos can be found HERE )... and is it allowed to share custom 3D models on here?

Love this! Absolutely stunning.

Just one thing with the cards though: Isn't it a tad out of place to grant a PS1 Outer Rim Smuggler an EPT? (In fact, it's already a bit strange that a PS5 pilot would get an EPT. But since it's Ace, I guess that works too! :])

Instead, wouldn't it make more sense to just remove the EPT and reduce the cost? A PS1 Outer Rim Smuggler for the YT1300 stands at 27pts. I would imagine a PS1 Outer Rim Smuggler for the YT2000 with less hull, less shields, one less crew option, and only one more attack dice should be slightly cheaper.

Should also keep in mind the relative cost of the PS1 pilot to a PS2 Blue Squadron (B Wing pilot) at 22pts that has the same amount of hit points, attack dice, agility dice. For 23 pts, a PS2 Blue Squadron pilot will have the exact same stats with the additional Crew, System Upgrade, and Cannon option.

So to make this PS1 YT2000 pilot viable, perhaps you can remove the EPT and reduce the cost to 25-26pts?

Am eagerly looking forward to the changes so I can print the model and the cards and have a go at it! Thanks for all the handwork!

My version of the Azzameen Family cards, if anyone's interested...

...and some upgrade cards:

Would be be better to just have MK-09 as crew instead of as an astromech. There is a reason you can't take an astromech on the Falcon.

True, however my own approach was to allow the Azzameens to take an Astromech upgrade in order to allow them to offer something slightly different and stand out from the rest of the YT-1300 pilots. I can't think of any ridiculously broken combinations it would lead to, especially given they'd be using the stock YT-1300 stats instead of the Falcon stats...

R2 Astromech Push the Limit?

R2 Astromech Push the Limit?

Nien Numb & Push The Limit already exists as a large ship combo, is just as points efficient and is technically more useful in this case (fast moving turreted large ships are more difficult to block than slow moving fast ships).

Wow, I just can't believe I missed this post, I've been patiently waiting for FFG to release the Otana, even thinking on making my own and this is just the right inspiration I needed.

Great model and paint job

R5P9+recon spec for a focus token when attacking/defending and one shield. R2d2 crew with R5D8, limited shield recover with hull repair. R3A2+kyle or tactician, can't think of any more combos off the top of my head.

I think that making it 25 points enter dangerous territory. This would allow you to have 4 firepower 3 turrets in a list. Even without a single upgrade that is very potent and arguably overpowered. There is a reason there are no ships below 12 point and no turrets below 26 points...

I just love this model. I dream to buy it!

The only thing stopping me so far is that I haven't given up hope of an official FFG version.

Especially now Emon Azzameen's made an appearance...

Bring this in for Wave 10 expansion for S&V with Gunboat and Tie Avenger since we all want these ships from the PC games 20 years ago
