Community Event / Creation Paper Models for Lavecon.

[Phoenix_Dfire]

Hi Folks,

I was thinking of setting up an Elite table top skirmish game using the rules from the X-Wing Miniatures Game as a base.

As you can imagine, I don't won't be able to any plastic models for this but I do remember a picture of someone who had created paper printouts that fold into models (Similar to the Coriolis station we got in one of the news letters). I've got the scenario planned (2 sidewinders and an Eagle vs a Cobra with a very good pilot).

So would;

1. anybody have a link to those paper model printouts?
2. anybody be interested in playing on the Saturday morning?

There was a thread on making paper models of the ships .. .I am trying to find it for you. I know it exists because I made a paper Cobra MkIII. I am finding dead links though

There is this, look at post #13 by Crayfish http://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=3693
There was a thread with a link to print off all the FFE ships ... I'm trying to find that thread.

YAY ... here you go

This is the broken link Alien, it gets mangled by the forum profanity filter, it contains pure white models.

Elite - X-wing Skin.

Hi Folks,

Here's the first Ship card I've done for the Elite Skirmish thing I'm going to run. The stats for the Cobra are going to be different for the final version at Lavecon.

As I'm only doing this for a bit of fun the usual below applies;-

'Elite Skimish' was created using assets and imagery from Elite: Dangerous, with the permission of Frontier Developments plc, for non-commercial purposes. It is not endorsed by nor reflects the views or opinions of Frontier Developments and no employee of Frontier Developments was involved in the making of it.


I've got the Sidewinder and the Eagle to do next and I might have time to one more ship. Any suggestions?

The Sidewinder

Here's the Sidewinder Mockup card.

The Eagle....

And the final ship until the votes are counted. ;-)

Thanks to mobius for allowing me to pilfer some artwork. ;-)

So some thoughts.
A the paper craft builds will be either too large to really use with the X-wing rules well or, B too fiddly to build in a small scale.

As I am a sculptor and caster of resin models. If theres intrest I could do up some 1/270-1/300 scale ships to mess around with. ( but I have no idea if Frontier would be kosher with that.)

It might be a better bet to get someone to upload the ships in a consistant small scale on shapeways.
Again, Frontier Kosher? No idea....

Sorry for huge image...

[/IMG] but here's a pic of my paper sidewinder. I still need to color edges adjust surface sheens and weather it to taste..
