If you are still watching this thread, would you happen to remember what Irregular call the USS Daedalus type vessel you made? (Far right in your original pic).

Thanks

Strange one that dr,but I can't find a listing for it,and I can't remember what I called it either. You might have to give Ian a call and describe it to him. I have a feeling that I was classing it as a monitor though.Send him a pic,and he should be able to find it for you.
Ian had labelled the master as SDC( probably Spaceship-Daedelus Class)

I ordered up a pack of kitbashing materials to make some more ships,and low and behold,I got 4 complete tugs....yahoooo.

Does anyone know just what a carrier pod looks like,i.e. where the hanger doors are,and other surface details?

Also found a good pic in Jaynez of the fighter carrier pod. I wish I had the facilities to produce decals for it. :cry:

I recognise these ships!

Hi Semperatis!

I have seen these first hand, and the FASA and other scratch builds are as cool and accurate as they look!

Very cool! 8) 8) 8) 8)

Carrier Container

Post by hobbybob »

Hi all!
My Armed Container decals ( strip FA/E-18 ) includes carrier pods.

This picture shows my armed container test shot; I can't remember if I even pained the pods first. The actual decals are much sharper than this picture indicates.

Dear Semperatis,

Wonderful scratchbuilding work ! I also was quite pleased to see something from one of my favorite milieux, the Trigan Empire ! Just wondering, did the Trigan Empire polities ever become interstellar empires ? I would love to see a Trigan setting for SFB / FC / PD !!!

Cheers,

Gary

Unfortunately,to the best of my knowledge,no one has ever set a gaming system around the Trigan Empire background. Sorry Gary.

Dear David,

Thanks for the reply ! But do you know if the Trigan Empire did become an interstellar one, in the course of the comic series ? I vaguely recall the first episode featured a Trigan spaceship crash landing on Earth, and that it took decades for Earth scientists to decode its memory banks - and that this formed the basis for the TE series.

Cheers,

Gary

If I remember correctly Gary,the crew of that spaceship were the first Trigans to go into space.Although you could easily speculate that they may have had an interstellar empire,nothing is ever mentioned of it being so.
There is the distinct possibility that it did become one though,but the ships records only record their history up to the point of launch.

Is there still a kitbash kit of the plastic Gamescience parts, because I can't see it in the online store?
