Would anyone else buy these if CCP made them? Imagine a nice rustbucket model of the phoon sitting on your desk

I would most surely buy a model of a Hurricane and Rifter (Including it's T2 versions) if they were ever produced.

I'm guessing theres a pretty big market for it if CCP wanted to produce them, they would have to be good quality, not little kid toy quality! Hell, they could sell them on there little online shop here...

Edited by: Kaalen on 02/03/2007 19:01:56 I would kill for a tabletop game with EVE ships, akin to 'Battlefleet Gothic' (go look for it if you don't know what that is). Having miniature ships would be awesome, having a FLEET of miniture ships would be incredible, being able to use them for something fun would be perfect.

Or how about a chess game with ships as pieces, like Amarr against Minmatar Titans as the Kings, and pawns would be frigs and shuttles.

I personally think a vast amount of money would be made from this, also, more to the point, the technology to do this is not hard to come buy relatively speaking. There are machines that can take a 3d computer model and use this to either carve a model or form one out of liquid resin with I think lasers, depends on the machine. Since CCP already have the original 3d models of the ships, all they need do is add a little detail (or not), export them to a format readable by these machines, and start churning them out, they could also get a machine that can paint them in the existing colour formats as well as sell 'blank' unpainted models for the community to work on. This would save money (eg, you can either buy a Thorax, coloured by machine, or 3 blanks, and paint yourself a 'rax, Deimos and Vigilant). If reasonably priced, I would certainly consider buying the entire collection.
Also, it would be advisible to make two lines, a minature set to the scale of chess or such like, and a larger set that ranges from4-12 inchs long for display.

I have been jiggling with the idea of making a rather large scale model in Steel/Stainless (welded togetehr ofc) but it would really only suit the Caldari faction types (unless I really went to town with the sheet metal work).
Always fancied having something like a 3 foot high Scorp sat rusting away in my garden :P
Carlsberg dont make Eve Pilots, but if they did, i wouldnt be one of them.

I'd buy models of a few eve ships for sure.
The "toy ship" wallpapers that were made look like they'd be quite cool to have IRL.

A friend of mine has Borg Cube on his Monitor (very smal, 5x5x5cm I think) and it looks really nice.
Would love to have a model of a Rifter, Hurricane, Megathron or Harbinger

Nice.
Still, I think plastic models would make an absolute fortune, has anyone e-mailed CCP about this before?

I built a model of the Burst, but it fell apart under its own weight.

Are we talking metal/die-cast models here? Or plastic self-build kits.
The former, I wouldn't buy. The latter, I'd buy a whole stinking Amarrian fleet :D

Wether it be plastic, metal or resin, doesnt matter to me, I'd buy some for sure. If you have them sitting on your desk they could also be great conversation starters for anyone that sees them I'm sure we could all talk about EVE in great detail. Does anyone have an email so we can whisper this idea to CCP? Unless a Dev or Mod wants to help

If they came in plastic with different paint selections that you could paint yourself, so you could go normal amarr or bloods
