Project: (Rogue) Traders

..an infinite deal of nothing...

Full Thrust civilian spacecraft 

Miniature games need objectives, and spaceship miniature games more so than most! Otherwise why are your trillion-dollar warships shooting space lasers at each other in the vast emptiness of space? So I got together some of Ground Zero Games's selection of civilian craft and painted them up.

Like the other Full Thrust things I've shared, these are 'finished', although I may expand on them in future, especially if I get any other fleets...

Olympus-class starliner

I feel like this design is supposed to specifically recall something, but I can never remember what. It makes me feel vaguely nostalgic, though.

I tried for a Chris Foss-style pattern on these two. They come off a bit pirate-y, which works. Hey, maybe I should do some space pirates...

Workshack-class space station, ‘Oaky-III’

This little workshack station is fun to paint. At fleet scale, I suppose the thing is tremendous, but it feels so dinky and tiny. When and if I get around to some asteroids and other astronomical terrain, he should feel a bit more appropriate.

That's it for now on the Full Thrust spaceships. I'm still working on a bunch of other projects on the table, but sadly no fun spaceships for a little while. I do have a box of + TRANSMISSION ENDS +
