Scratch-built miniatures for Darkstar starship tactical wargame.

So the largest miniatures here are for heavy cruiser.  Just under two inches long.

The smallest ones are the destroyers, about 1.5 inches.

This makes the minis about 1:9000 scale (destroyers in this game mass about 45000-52000 tons, about 850 feet long).

Smaller ships (not built yet) would include frigates, then corvettes, and finally gunboats (about the side of the Millenium Falcon).

Larger ships would include pocket battleships, battlecruiser, battleships, supercarriers, and superdreadnoughts (600-650,000 tons, about 3-4 kilometers in length).

These are looking great. Not just as scratch build miniatures in their own right but also as inspiration for anyone who wants to scratchbuild their own custom fleet.

For release, could you do a core release and then an expanded release? So the core release is the rules to fight and choose ships from those commonly found in the fleets of the age. Once people get used to that then you could look at releasing an “expansion” in the form of ship design rules? People then have the choice of Darkstar “light” and “Advanced” Darkstar.
