OMEGA JACK	Posted - 2007.09.11 23:17:00 - [1] If CCP were to sell scale models of the ships would you buy them? And how many?

And how many? If they were nice sized, had a good construction, and were at a reasonable price I would at least consider it. ___________ Desolacer> Who the heck gives YOU the right to ruin it for others buy blowing them up.

Thanos Draicon	Posted - 2007.09.11 23:18:00 - [3] Very yes.

QFT, and definite yes if they look as good as the Trinity 2 models - Odd Pod Out, a blog of EVE Online
Waxau Mortis Angelus The Church.	Posted - 2007.09.11 23:20:00 - [5] OMG Yes!!! I want a Cerb and Chimera on my desk. Each night id polish them, and make a little sticky arrow saying 'You are here'. Then when i go for bio breaks, ill move it to the back of the ship ;) Except the whole 'pod' concept goes out the window then...

CCP Wrangler	Posted - 2007.09.11 23:20:00 - [6] I'd buy one of each tbh. Wrangler Community Manager EVE Online Contact Support - Contact Moderators - Report Bug - Submit News Leads - Knowledge Base Player Guide - Policies - Join ISD - Fan Submissions - DevFinder LiteÖ

Paulo Damarr	Posted - 2007.09.11 23:21:00 - [7] If the prices where reasonable and the quality high I think I would yes.
hydraSlav Synergy Evolved	Posted - 2007.09.11 23:21:00 - [8] Hell yes == Above comments are my personal views Oveur >Local shouldn't be a tactical tool, it's for chat
Jon Engel APEX Unlimited APEX Conglomerate	Posted - 2007.09.11 23:21:00 - [9] Reasonably priced is the key issue here. I dont want to pay like games-workshop prices for a plastic miniature of an Eve ship. But yeah, its been talked about before. I think we all would buy model kits for Eve ships.
Ex0101 Malicious Intentions Cult of War	Posted - 2007.09.11 23:21:00 - [10] All of them, several of, so i can pew pew on my desk when the misses wont let me play :D --
Celeste Coeval The Gosimer and Scarab	Posted - 2007.09.11 23:22:00 - [11] yes i would. "If you are out to describe the truth, leave elegance to the tailor." -Albert Einstein A blog of truth (not mine)
Jonathos	Posted - 2007.09.11 23:22:00 - [12] I would.
Elias Modron Gallente Lucretia Seven	Posted - 2007.09.11 23:22:00 - [13] Military modeling is one of my hobbies, if CCP were to release model kits for the ships I would definitely look at getting some. A Brutix or Tempest would look ideal parked next to my RAF Spitfire and T34 tank ----------------------------
Twilight Interloper Caldari Eve University Ivy League	Posted - 2007.09.11 23:22:00 - [14] I'd pay like 150 pound sterling for a good metal model of the 'Worm'. That ship is so nice.
hydraSlav Synergy Evolved	Posted - 2007.09.11 23:22:00 - [15] Better yet, they need to release the chess set (like those guys were making in house). More people will buy it if it's more functional then just a "model" == Above comments are my personal views Oveur >Local shouldn't be a tactical tool, it's for chat
DeadRow Dragonstar	Posted - 2007.09.11 23:23:00 - [16] Originally by: CCP Wrangler I'd buy one of each tbh. So would I, and hang them from my ceiling /DeadRow

A Brutix or Tempest would look ideal parked next to my RAF Spitfire and T34 tank If the above conditions were met I would grab the Raven. I don't know why people say it looks ugly; personally I think it looks awesome. Just like a technological, no artsy-crap, killing machine with advanced electronics systems "the spikes in front".

Elias Modron Gallente Lucretia Seven	Posted - 2007.09.11 23:29:00 - [21] Even some wargaming miniatures would be cool, we could modify the Battlefleet Gothic rules. Have you thought of that CCP? You have the card game, make a tabletop wargame! Games Workshop will give you some lessons in that area :P ----------------------------
Amber Leonne Gallente New Eden Technical Institutes	Posted - 2007.09.11 23:29:00 - [22] Much the same as roleplayers tend to sepnd up to hudnreds on figurines ove rtheir hobby's life, I would imagine so. I would even be intereste din seeing what a 1-2 foot long Hulk embossed in brass would look like..

CCP Wrangler	Posted - 2007.09.11 23:31:00 - [23] I'm more of a put them on a stand on the bookshelf than hang it from the ceiling person, but whatever works.

Marux Gallente Aliastra	Posted - 2007.09.11 23:31:00 - [25] In a heartbeat. Given they were reasonably sized and priced. Originally by: Draconis Galek The idea is to make the drones a manageable part of a combined arms force instead of the herd of cats that it is at the moment.
Thanos Draicon	Posted - 2007.09.11 23:32:00 - [26] You should talk to the people over at WhiteWolf about this Wrangler.
Holiday Entae	Posted - 2007.09.11 23:33:00 - [27] I thought about this today since I'm Star Was collector, of course I would purchase these ships in my opinion CCP is light years ahead of NASAanyway yes I would.

Deschenus Maximus Amarr Digital Fury Corporation Digital Renegades	Posted - 2007.09.11 23:41:00 - [32] YES YES YES!
MeGrand Gallente Life INC	Posted - 2007.09.11 23:42:00 - [33] Oh yes a nice metal model of a maelstorm would be fun All the right letters - just not nessacarily in the right order
Dr Vitoc Amarr Arcana Imperii Ltd.	Posted - 2007.09.11 23:42:00 - [34] OMG Yes! I can imagine it now, the FCs of a corporation standing around a table discussing their next plan of attack and moving the ship models around to display tactics. Actual 3D representations of where to place the warp disruption bubbles around a gate and where to keep the fleet!
OMEGA JACK	Posted - 2007.09.11 23:43:00 - [35] TO ALL EVE PLAYERS, tell your friends to post here saying that they would buy them and lets see if we can get the in the EVE store by the end of the year. Even though I know they would not stay in stock past they first 2 hours. sticky please
Lothras Andastar	Posted - 2007.09.11 23:43:00 - [36] Id like a 'geddon or and itty 5 model for t3h ladies :) Seriously though if they made a navy mega model id buy it instantly
KsLIVER	Posted - 2007.09.11 23:46:00 - [37] Yes - for sure!
Surfin's PlunderBunny Minmatar Sicarri Covenant	Posted - 2007.09.11 23:46:00 - [38] I'd get a big Typhoon or Nidhoggur for a hood ornament (thats on the front of the car) Originally by: Liz Kali Tic Toc Tic Toc , time is ticking Originally by: TheDagda click For the love of the jovians stops necroing
Leandro Salazar The Blackguard Wolves Knights Of the Southerncross	Posted - 2007.09.11 23:46:00 - [39] Originally by: CCP Wrangler I'm more of a put them on a stand on the bookshelf than hang it from the ceiling person, but whatever works. Personally I'd rather see quality models even if they would be a bit expensive over cheaper but lower quality items. Being a modeler myself (WW2 navy ships, mainly japanese), I would like them to be both, decent quality and affordable. Cheap junk from Revell or Matchbox (even though I find Matchbox to be okish) is just as bad as unaffordable resin kits. About Tamiya quality would be perfect imho. Good kits, but still relatively friendly on wallets. Of course I don't even know what kind of 'models' we are talking about here, seems people have very different conceptions, like figurinesque complete metal thingies (not for me) or plastic kits that have to be assembled (thats what I want). There is no 'n' in turret There is no 'r' in faction There is no 'a' in Scorpion There is no 'e' in Caldari There is no makeup in rogue drones
Axexut	Posted - 2007.09.11 23:50:00 - [40] You mean like: (Can't remember where I found it )
DubanFP Caldari Four Rings D-L	Posted - 2007.09.11 23:51:00 - [41] Originally by: Axexut You mean like: (Can't remember where I found it ) Actually those are computer models, not actual physical objects. ___________ Desolacer> Who the heck gives YOU the right to ruin it for others buy blowing them up. Zaqar> CCP
Axexut	Posted - 2007.09.11 23:51:00 - [42] Really? Damn. Wanted one or two for my desk at work and home . . . .
OMEGA JACK	Posted - 2007.09.11 23:56:00 - [43] Ok lets say pre-made and painted models. Not the kind where you need glue. Last thing we need is players getting there finger glues to the mouse because he was attacked while building a Nyx
Daelorn State War Academy	Posted - 2007.09.11 23:58:00 - [44] ABSOLUTELY! »»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»
Siege Minmatar Siegecraft Bounty Hunting	Posted - 2007.09.12 00:00:00 - [45] Now the question is, who would one contact about liscencing rights to produce and sell such models legally? I don't expect CCP to be doing it any time soon, as a 3d model builder does not equal a scale model designer.
Price Watcher	Posted - 2007.09.12 00:01:00 - [46] If reasonably priced (including shipping!) I'd buy: Crow Drake Reaper Gallente Shuttle And maybe some others. They wouldn't have to be fancy. Injection-molded plastic would be fine as long as the detail and color were good. POST WITH YOUR ALT!
Cilvius Sanctus	Posted - 2007.09.12 00:02:00 - [47] I absolutely would, but only if I can get some models of some asteroids to go with them. Ok, so I'd buy some models even without model-asteroids.
SirFett	Posted - 2007.09.12 00:05:00 - [48] oh god YES! if the thorax would have an extra compartment for a "rumble pack" that would be even better
Adonis 4174	Posted - 2007.09.12 00:06:00 - [49] Originally by: Cilvius Sanctus I absolutely would, but only if I can get some models of some asteroids to go with them. Don't you have gravel where you are? ----- Visible Implants - good for so many occasions

Omish Dave	Posted - 2007.09.12 00:51:00 - [54] Only if they look good. And by good I mean like the models done by Todd Mcfarlin. Give em good color an detail an not brittle.
MITSUK0	Posted - 2007.09.12 00:57:00 - [55] I would buy one of each ship I fly plus its factional rival. And yes, they would be hanging from the roof in a dogfighting arangement
Vienna Gates Caldari	Posted - 2007.09.12 01:05:00 - [56] I would buy a Rorqual
Cassius Longinus Jericho Fraction The Star Fraction	Posted - 2007.09.12 01:05:00 - [57] Edited by: Cassius Longinus on 12/09/2007 01:05:48 I would be interested in one or two high quality models in the 50-100$ range. It's all about the quality for me though. Cheaper ones would be cool to a point too, but I'm sure not as glorious as what I'm imagining.

Reven Darklight 256 FREELANCERS Black Scope Project	Posted - 2007.09.12 01:23:00 - [59] oh yes I would so buy a Jaguar, a Drake, Cyclone and then probable a stack of other stuff and set up a battle, we'd also need them to see drones in boxes of 5 or so
Saint Luka The Illuminati. Triumvirate.	Posted - 2007.09.12 01:28:00 - [60] the nyx, probobly.
Zeke Novak Outlaws N Angels	Posted - 2007.09.12 01:30:00 - [61] Probably, it'd be more likely if it was something I got to assemble myself rather than a pre-assembled and painted model. Either way, I'd prefer higher price for better quality. As far as I'm concerned there's no 'reasonable' price when what you're getting is cheap junk, it's better to shell out what you have to to get something done right. -- Reality.sys corrupt. Reboot Universe? (y/n/q)
DubanFP Caldari Four Rings D-L	Posted - 2007.09.12 01:34:00 - [62] You know what would be cool? If you could only get the model for capital ships if you actually owned the ship in question "and you first proved it was actually in your hanger". Making a Phoenix model like a real show, something to be truely "proud" of ^^. ___________ Desolacer> Who the heck gives YOU the right to ruin it for others buy blowing them up. Zaqar> CCP
ZigZag Joe The Republican Guard	Posted - 2007.09.12 01:41:00 - [63] Edited by: ZigZag Joe on 12/09/2007 01:41:58 Hell yes, provided good construction and detail. I'd kill for a model of my vaga and jag. Sidenote: Rax and itty series might need to be erm modified :S << zigzag forever. >>
Decidis Caldari ASGARD SECURITY SHIPPING PRODUCTION SMASH Alliance	Posted - 2007.09.12 01:41:00 - [64] Lets see... I'd buy a phoenix, rook, scorpion, abbadon, nyx, drake, and hyperion. In a second. :)
Kwa Kaine	Posted - 2007.09.12 02:04:00 - [65] Possibly but it would only be a few as at least 80% of ships in eve look like something a 2 year old designed.
Gor Kraon Minmatar Red Alliance	Posted - 2007.09.12 02:06:00 - [66] I'd probably buy some depending on price, material, quality and such. Hell i wouldn't mind kits you gotta build...

Saitek Evo Trade Consortium	Posted - 2007.09.12 02:12:00 - [72] i'd buy one of each, the wife would be ****ed about all the little spaceships all over the house tho

Drizit Amarr Lonely out here Black Sun Alliance	Posted - 2007.09.12 02:16:00 - [76] I want a 2:1 scale Titan There's some land I can use to display it that won't matter much if a huge model is dropped on it. I think most people call it England. --

Vildiin	Posted - 2007.09.12 02:19:00 - [80] A question on scale. Just how large would be some of the models if say a shuttle was 1cm?

port22 The Scope	Posted - 2007.09.12 04:04:00 - [84] So is anyone going to ask CCP the question is this feasible? If there are enough people wanting the things, surely they would be better sellers than say 'collectible cards' ? Personally, I would like to see CCP maybe have a vote on a test model. Whichever ship people vote for, CCP produce a number of units and see how well they sell. Obviously using the new ship models from DX10 instead of the current client and a complete finished unit. I for one would endeavour to purchase every single ship from the game, and im sure there are plenty of people out there who would follow suit. Can we maybe get a response from someone official? Is this likely to ever happen? Originally by: Temp Boi Port FTMFW Period.

Plutoinum German Cyberdome Corp Cult of War	Posted - 2007.09.12 04:22:00 - [86] Edited by: Plutoinum on 12/09/2007 04:24:05 Probably they would be too expensive for me to buy that stuff and somehow the idea of filling my room with that feels a bit nerdy. But well, if I think about a detailed tempest model, I'd buy it, because that the ship I've been flying most. And then probably my minmatar love would fully come out and I'd make a collection. I'd even want something like a Probe ( which has been my beloved looting frig before salvaging and mini-hauler for years. Think the first ship BPO I bought was a Probe BPO )
Dannek Llama F5 and Associates	Posted - 2007.09.12 04:24:00 - [87] That'd be pretty dang cool. Would they be the type of models that you build yourself or more like toys? I think I'd prefer the former because that would probably mean more detail. -------------------------------------------------------- Working towards my own personal Dreadnought, one ISK at a time.

But signed, I have a list of ships I'd like to have.

Zalgar VII	Posted - 2007.09.12 06:11:00 - [95] I will at least get about five of my favourite ships. But I would like it if CCP offers the option to buy four feet Battleships. That will be so cool. Come on CCP, give us highly detailed scale models!

Marlsia	Posted - 2007.09.12 07:48:00 - [104] Yes Wolf, Cynabal and Claw would be my first choice of purchase. I would prefer them made from pewter and not painted. As for haveing them in scale to each other, I think that would be near impossible. I think there would need to be a standard size for the ship types. Frigates = 5cm (ú20 to ú23) Cruisers = 10cm (ú30 to ú35) Battleships = 20cm (ú50 to ú60) so a scale is represented, just not a true scale.

Beguila Walker	Posted - 2007.09.12 08:05:00 - [107] Very yes! One of each, please. And I would even prefer unassambled and unpainted models with various weaponry options

Kal Shakai	Posted - 2007.09.12 09:50:00 - [120] Woot! A topic I know something about for a change. I was in the business of aircraft/space model creation, marketing and sales for a few years. We did everything from cheap plastic models ranging from $20 to hand carved executive wood models selling for up to $400. I have a whole wall of die-cast aluminum warbirds and historical aircraft models. The nice die-cast ones sell for around $80 - $200. A lot of these come from the Franklin Mint which generally does good work. CCP should look into this as it's quite easy and very profitable. Put me down for a hurricane minimum.

Fester Addams Minmatar	Posted - 2007.09.12 13:06:00 - [134] Depends on what type of models we are taking about. If its the current common preassembled and prepainted junk that companies push forth based on comics, movies and games then no. If a high quality then yes, preferably if its a model you have to assemble and paint yourself.
Zeoliter Reikoku Band of Brothers	Posted - 2007.09.12 13:35:00 - [135] If they were quality metal models like pewter, then yes. Not sure I'd buy something plastic. But a pewter Absolution inlaid with bronze and gold (or brass, heh) I'd pay good money for.

Jon Hawkes Nouveau Riche	Posted - 2007.09.12 14:26:00 - [141] I think last time this topic came up, it was found to be too expensive for the manufacturer to invest in the 3d design and the mouldings of the self-assembly ship kits to charge the customer any kind of reasonable price for them. The models would be a fairly small production run, which would give them less of a chance to make the initial investment back. Pity.

The plastic model kits I could customize & make frickin awesome, but i'd have to worry about screwing something up or not being "good enough". The prepainted die-cast would have all the glory & detail of the originals though, as well as wieghty "giving it a certain grandness over cheap plastic".

And how many? Absolutely - how many depended on the price...I perceive current accessory prices too high, so they would have to be scaled (down) too... * See you in space!

Raven Hyperbollic Paradox v2.0 Interstellar Alcohol Conglomerate	Posted - 2007.09.12 18:07:00 - [189] I'm surprised CCP have not done this already with such an obvious market. I would collect all model ships. Even an ibis lol
Andrue Amarr	Posted - 2007.09.12 18:08:00 - [190] I agree with Wrangler. As long as they favour quality over price I'd buy them. I'm willing to pay a high price for something that is genuinely worthy of display.

If they were nice sized, had a good construction, and were at a reasonable price I would at least consider it. perhaps someone like games workshop could use their forgeworld guys to make some of these. i mean, some of the resin stuff they've produced is incretibly detailed, and hey, they're not entirely opposed to working with other people's franchises - they made alot of lord of the rings models for their tabletop game version of the movies (i know they're books, but the movies provided the visual guide). ========================================== Iy please remember: I AM a sarcastic ******* and nothing i say has ever represented the thoughts or feelings of my corp, alliance, or anyone really. read
Aleksandr Cirtus Caldari Stronghold corp Curse Alliance	Posted - 2007.09.12 18:17:00 - [193] As far as quality, I like the idea of cast iron, et all, but I'd buy a multitude of plastic ones so I could throw 'em around and actually have some bloody fun with them. 7 pages and nobody wants a Manticore? Those would be wicked. I love the idea, but I just wouldn't have the money to buy more than a Manticore, but it's a better idea than the CCG.... shudder Manticore r teh seksi.

Yilan Cheran Gallente Galaxy Punks O X I D E	Posted - 2007.09.12 20:04:00 - [207] I would so much like to say that I'd be too sensible with my money to buy them... but I'd most likely manage that level of maturity for half an hour tops, grind teeth, close browser, open browser, scream "DAMN YOU CCP!" and place an order for one of each (And as for Xarax' chess set, if that one were to appear I would dTfinitely purchase that one if the price would not be ridiculously high!)

Arric Rohr Aliastra	Posted - 2007.09.13 02:02:00 - [216] Originally by: Jon Hawkes I think last time this topic came up, it was found to be too expensive for the manufacturer to invest in the 3d design and the mouldings of the self-assembly ship kits to charge the customer any kind of reasonable price for them. The models would be a fairly small production run, which would give them less of a chance to make the initial investment back. Pity. Production run sizes have fallen dramatically in the last couple of years with computer control. Go down to your local toy store and check the extremely limited issue models you can get. I think with a customer base the size CCP has you could definitely make a profit. I want a Dominix Doorstop. AR Where do I get one of those cool signatures?
Scifi Caldari Star Scream Inc. Ultima Rati0	Posted - 2007.09.13 02:51:00 - [217] A model drake would sit so nice up by my other models. I would even be happy with something akin to the larger hasbro titanium series models. Something like this would probably be on the lower end of what I'd want but it's still a moderate balance of quality versus price(though probably getting towards the lower end of the curve...)
Robin Erik	Posted - 2007.09.13 06:11:00 - [218] Oh yes!!!
Arushia Nova Labs Empire Research	Posted - 2007.09.13 06:45:00 - [219] I'll take an Incursus, a Rifter, a Punisher, a Kestrel, and a Daredevil and maybe a Succubus. Preferably pewter.

Gerard Deneth Caldari Intel 7	Posted - 2007.09.13 17:16:00 - [225] As a general note to those who are contemplating actual production and arguing one method or another... Technology now allows people to make 3d models (usually with rhino) that can be fed into a 3d prototyper to make actual metal models. This is rapidly becoming the norm for "technological" models like ships, cars, etc since they can be more effectively done this way. Biological models, like for people, animals, plants, etc are usually sculpted in the traditional manner. At the current time, with 3d prototyping, you can get detail as precise as .4mm or so. No idea what that is in imperial, but it's bloody smalll irregardless. The prototype model is generated, and used to make a silver master model. This model is visually inspected and perfected. From this model master molds are made, which then are used to make the production masters. The production masters are then used to make the production molds. (why is this kind of matroshka doll madness done? it saves wear and tear on the most expensive portions of the proccess, IE the Silver master and the initial prototyping.) Altogether, the costs to have this done can run you up to about 10,000 USD for a single model of about two inches in length by about 1/2 by 1/2 inch, from modelling to production (not including cost of actually putting them into production. That's just setup costs). That's for a one-piece model like a Thorax. Multi-piece models (probably a Megathron, just about all the caldari ships) would cost more for modelling becuase the model has to be broken into several pieces to make molding even possible. As for plastic, uhh... don't. CCP, don't go with plastic. Games Workshop does this because they can afford the initial startup costs. Plastic molds (just the molds, nevermind the additional labor going into designing and prototyping) can easily run past 100,000 USD. The tradeoff is that with plastic, the models are literally 1/10th the cost of a metal model to produce, and the molds last marginally longer. As for casting houses, in my experience (which is marginal directly, but I have a somewhat close pipe to the miniature game industry here in the US) Reaper is the outfit you want to go with. I know of several companies who contract their production with them, they seem to have excellent service and quality control. I don't know who to recommend for silver masters, but I understand there's a place in Texas that does good work. That's where I've heard our stuff goes.
Afaflix Caldari Interstellar Operations Incorporated	Posted - 2007.09.14 11:49:00 - [226] I definitely would buy some. Probably each of those I fly in the game. I just hope they stay away from GamesWorkShop. Their models are way too clunky (for lack of a better word) ... ugly maybe ... compared to creations from Rackham or AsmodTe. So, a titan's not only gonna cost ya umpteenth billions but also about $600.- if in scale compared to your 1 inch frigate .. which is probably gonna be around $8-$10.- Battle ships around $40.- Miniatures is not a game ... it's a hobby, and an expensive one on top. -- Violence is the Diplomacy of the Incompetent.

Haverloth Amarr 1st Praetorian Guard Vigilia Valeria	Posted - 2007.09.14 12:14:00 - [228] CCP need to do this, and quick. I'd love to get a series of model warships I could assemble and paint... Harbingers first, one in traditional Amarrian gold livery, another in black-light grey camo striping... Signed and bumped! ____________________
Sqalevon Masuat'aa Matari	Posted - 2007.09.14 12:20:00 - [229] I'd love to get my hands on a Rifter model. As long as it's quality, like 30cm / 80 euro.
Tyr Ragnarok	Posted - 2007.10.06 22:31:00 - [230] with trinity 2 looks and reasonable price, definitely would consider bying a couple, however u cant make all ships to scale then ur son will b able to mount ur titan
