|
|
I am looking for a shuttlecraft minitature that could be used in Federation Commander in place of the shuttle counters. Does anybody know of one that would fit the scale and "look" ? |

there are options:
1) Wait a bit. ADB was prepared to release shuttle minatures this summer, but design issues arose. I'm not certain if they remain on the schedule or not, but I would guess they will be out eventually.
2) Irregular Miniatures. I'm at work and their site is bookmarked on my home computer , but a google search should turn up a result. They have a pack of shuttle miniatures that (so several SFB players say) look as if they were copied from the ST blueprint.
3) Make your own [http://www.geocities.com/scoutdad13/Federation/fedcaandshuttles.jpg]Shuttlecraft minis[/url]! About 4 years ago, I decided that i needed shuttle minis and couldn't find any - so one day, while at the local model shop, I had an epiphany! Why not make my own. For about $3 worth of plasturct stock and a 99 cent pack of thumb tacks for bases, I made 4 dozen shuttle craft. Unfortunately, it wasn't until after they were done that I realized I'd made them look ST:TNG rather than ST:TOS - but if I started over, it would be easy enough to make the correct version. Contact me for a parts list / instruction sheet. _________________ Commander, Battlegroup Murfreesboro

Thank you Scoutdad.
I am checking the irregular shuttlecraft minis. E-mailed them asking for a picture...
And yes, I can definetly try to make my own. I will contact you for the instruction sheet.
Actually, I am interested in learning how you made the drones and plasma miniatures as well. Those look really cool.
Thanks for the help. |

We should have them out ... sometime this year.
They are working on the drone and plasma ones at the moment. _________________ The Guy Who Designed Fed Commander

Excellent news on the shuttlecraft and ammo miniatures!
These kind of things really dress up a gameboard for me. _________________ Please Captain,not in front of the Klingons. |
