I found this recently and I'm sure some of you have seen this but there are probably many who haven't yet.
These are very highly detailed 3d models of ships in the Star Wars universe, I mean cinematic quality. Many are EU ships but I thought it was interesting because of the potential for future additions to the game. Most of the ships are Star Destroyers of various classes and there are even a couple land vehicles in there.
Me Wants...six of 'em!
At least Six!
I know, It's like a TIE Advanced and a TIE Interceptor had a baby!
Cute kid!
The Avenger looks like mine. I am glad to see a lot of views of the Vigil Corvette. I was toying with the idea of making one, though i think it would probably be too big for gaming. Those are some nice renders
Gosric did you see my sliding scale diagram, the Vigil is just about playable at 1/510.
Look amazing.
Where are the rebel ships?
the nice thing about the vigil is, that design-wise it has the classic ISD style one is used from the imperium and the bit stumpier hull gives the feel of a smaller capital ship even without knowing the original size.

I saw that, it would be good to have but probably too expensive to be 3d printed.I would have to bow to the expert modellers (i remember when my eyes were good so that i could build models and paint minis *L*) who could convert something else or build it from scratch.. Though parts to make conversion easier would be easy to make. I am working on the turrets for someones conversion right now

What are you using to design, I did some stuff with Blender a few years back, and I wasn't getting on too bad with it.

I printed off the Vigil Corvette onto paper and glued it to cardboard. It should fit onto a 23 x 17 sheet. You can also have a printer professionally print it up on card stock or foam board.
I chose the printed way of doing my large ships for 2 reasons:
Not terribly time consuming
Ships could fly on top or below based on house rule I made up.
If you want to go on top of big ship, you add a white number token while you maneuver on top of the ship.
If you want to go below the ship you add a black number token beside your ship.
Those craft with no tokens (not on top or under large ship) can fire at any ship with a token. Only those ships with the same coloured token can fire at one another while on the ship.
If two ships of different coloured tokens overlap they still get to perform their action step.
This gives the feel of zipping over the surface of the capital ship or dodging underneath to avoid an incoming squad of fighters. Really gives a tactical edge to the game, unless those guns start to track your fighter!
I use a free program called Wings 3d. It doesnt have much in the way of graphic capability and so is not much good for making renders. But with a bit of practice it is very good for making printable models

Yes.. at least... this is the render that made me change my dislike of the Avenger to abject lust....
I want 8 of them.
Every Interceptor should look pretty much the same. There's not really a canon Avenger, so there's a lot of artist's interpretation. Fractal's and Gosric's silhouettes look the same, as one would expect. But the Devil ifs the details, and they don't look alike at all.
True enough. Even taking into account the less advanced program and the need to make things printable there are a lot of differences between ours, though the silhouettes are very similiar as they should be.

That is one of the reasons i like to make ships that either are obscure or have a variety of interpretations. It is a lot more fun to play with details than it is to make an exact replica. That and i have no desire to be sued, or told to stop, by game companies for making the same ships they do *L*
