Stealing a good idea from a pal, I'm going to start posting items I have for sale here, just in case the right buyer comes along. I'll try to keep everything oriented around naval / space ship gaming, of course.
These are lovely scale ships, cast in resin. Very clean, easy to work with. No regrets with them as ships, I'm only selling them because my eyesight and time are more limited now, so I'm not going to finish this project. Heartbreaking, as I really like them. Ah well...
First, Odyssey Slipways fleet ships
in 1/10,000 scale, from HERE.
NOTE that most of these ships are presently Out Of Production, just a couple still being sold.
They paint up easily and well. My demo presentation is a classic Star Wars ship - it was a medical frigate where Luke Skywalker got his new hand put on HERE at 46 seconds in.
Nebulon B Frigate from "The Empire Strikes Back" ending scene [ship is heading to you].

Front view - lighting shows the deep sculpting - easy to paint!
Same, back view.
Back view, more flash - diminishes the depth of sculpting, but shows ship at play distance.
In the flesh with Studio Bergstrom Millenium Falcon for comparison [at 4x scale size!]:
Your fleet, presently sitting at drydock on my shelving...

Below, Wizards of the Coast Pre-painted Nebulon B for comparison...
Surrounding it are the next bunch of items, cool fighters from Studio Bergstrom!
so in other words they are four times as big as they should be. This is good, because at 1:10,000 starfighters are almost invisible!
All games must exaggerate the size of the fighters in relationship to the capital ships.
Studio Bergstrom fighters shown here with Wizards of the Coast plastic Rebel Assault Frigate [as usual, somewhat bent]. But the TIE just above and to right is my test paint job.
You can see where I was going with the look - little flights of ships at various heights.
Closeup of the Millenium Falcon in white metal
Anyway, these squadrons are from Studio Bergstrom, which is HERE. Altogether there are 44 starfighters and 1 VERY FAMOUS tramp freighter! Why 44? In an obsessive moment, I think I watched the battle scenes from Episodes IV and VI and counted the actual ships doing the attack runs, and that's what I came up with...
For the opposing Imperials, shown HERE, I ended up with a nice batch of ships, including plenty of cannon fodder for the Rebels to shoot to pieces, AKA 24 TIE fighters!
