Kyusoath Orillian Northern Intelligence Veritas Immortalis	Posted - 2007.10.17 02:52:00 - [1] As a player of Warhammer 40,000 and ofc EVE , the space ships of both universes have appealed to me greatly. the ships from the warhammer 40k universe are available in various scale models and i have enjoyed building variants and converting the kits. after building particularly detailed conversion (pic incoming when camera available) i found i had accidentally built something very similar to a merlin frigate, i had never thought of building scale models of the eve ships before. i figured this could be something i could not only do for fun but could spread the joy and sell some of them. so who would be interested and what ships would you like to see ? wouldn't really work to scale but models would be around shoebox sized and smaller depending on the ship.
Tek'a Rain Gallente Isis Technologies	Posted - 2007.10.17 02:59:00 - [2] The important question is who Wouldn't be interested, as the members of said uninterested group would certainly be so sparse as to all be easily packed into a phone booth and set aflame. just.. you know, an idea. but, more to the point.. models, good. plush vexor pillows with a sewn pocket full of drones.. better.
xJohnnyDx Caldari	Posted - 2007.10.17 03:42:00 - [3] Edited by: xJohnnyDx on 17/10/2007 03:43:01 There's quite a few lengthy topics already created about this very subject. You'd probably get yelled at for posting in an old thread, but only after someone yells at you here for not using the search function. Anyway, look for some of those, some interesting ideas and numbers have been tossed around. Edit - Spelling! PLACE SIGNATURE HERE What?! [Insert event here] happened? Quick, start a new thread on the forums! "Moot", not "mute".
Dotard	Posted - 2007.10.17 03:46:00 - [4] I too would like a big plush pillow. Make mine a Typhoon. Nerf You! Buff Me!

Dotard	Posted - 2007.10.17 04:22:00 - [6] While were at it... The girlfriend asked if she could get a rubber Stabber about 8 inches long that contains a battery compartment to power that shaking around stuff we see on the monitor when the ship is coming out of warp. She won't tell me what she wants it for seeing she don't even play EvE. OH! And it has to say "Warp Drive Engaged" and make that WHOOOOSH noise. Why the H... would she want that?! I dunno. I'll never understand women. Nerf You! Buff Me!
Phoenix Lord The Arrow Project Morsus Mihi	Posted - 2007.10.17 04:25:00 - [7] Edited by: Phoenix Lord on 17/10/2007 04:25:16 Yea ive seen several of these threads, only bothered to follow the first one till i saw a dev answer. Basically, the R&D would be too expensive to justify making them. The only way apparently, was to make them expensive or not at all, and if they were expensive, they would barely sell. EDIT: I could be wrong though, remember that; but thats what i remember hearing from one of the devs in a thread. _____
Surfin's PlunderBunny Minmatar mUfFiN fAcToRy	Posted - 2007.10.17 04:26:00 - [8] Would she prefer a big black Armageddon that shakes around like it's going into warp with the touch of a switch? Originally by: Liz Kali Tic Toc Tic Toc , time is ticking I owned someone on forums!!!
Nito Musashi	Posted - 2007.10.17 04:42:00 - [9] ill take a vindicator and macharel model kits pleze i like to build and paint em.

Acoco Osiris Gallente Sublime.	Posted - 2007.10.17 13:39:00 - [13] I am interested only if they come free. ------------------------------ One more soldier off to war... And one Velator in my hangars.
Maltitol Gallente Tides of Silence Hydra Alliance	Posted - 2007.10.17 13:41:00 - [14] I want full a scale model of the Megathron please. I will even help build it. I believe that means we need all the metals that the entire earth has, and more than the nuclear power plants that are built on the planet to get 7 blaster cannons to fire antimatter ammo really, really, really fast!
Cpt toast	Posted - 2007.10.17 13:44:00 - [15] It wouldn't actually cost that much. Two members of Octavian Vanguard got married in RL about 3 years back and we had two spaceships made for them from the game Jumpgate which was where they originally met. It was a sizeable collection, but nothing CCP couldn't handle. Once you've got the first one made, you've got a mould and you can go from there. The 3D CNC stuff was the pricy bit.
Maximillian Dragonard Caldari Caldari Provisions	Posted - 2007.10.17 13:49:00 - [16] Frankly, if it were a good quality cast model, it'd be worth paying a price for... and who'd want some cheap piece of crap anyway ____________________ EWAR... love it or hate it.... learn to deal with it!
Scatim Helicon GoonFleet GoonSwarm	Posted - 2007.10.17 13:50:00 - [17] Great, now you've inspired me to mod the Battlefleet Gothic ruleset to create "EVE-Offline"

You'd probably get yelled at for posting in an old thread, but only after someone yells at you here for not using the search function. Yes, the EVE forums catch-22. As far as the actual question: Hell yeah, I'd like some EVE spaceship models/miniatures/toys! I'll take a pillow, too. A nice big comfy Dominix.
Andrue Amarr	Posted - 2007.10.17 14:32:00 - [19] Edited by: Andrue on 17/10/2007 14:32:30 This has been asked about several times and usually results in a lot of positive responses. Unfortunately I think the problem is finding a sensible price point. A lot of people would only be prepared to pay $20 and about all you'll get for that is a plastic, badly painted model. Fun I suppose if you want to play Eve during DT or hang them from your bedroom ceiling but basically naff, tat. A fair number of people (me for one) would like decent die-cast models large and good enough to put on the mantle-piece or coffee table. Unfortunately you're then talking about $100 or more. There's not many people who would be prepared to pay that kind of money. Note to CCP:I would be prepared to pay those kind of sums subject to quality and 'displayability factor' -- (Battle hardened industrialist) [Brackley, UK] My budgie can say "ploppy bottom". You have been warned.
Maltitol Gallente Tides of Silence Hydra Alliance	Posted - 2007.10.17 14:35:00 - [20] i will take a dart board with caldari ships on it :P
Arvald Caldari House of Tempers	Posted - 2007.10.17 14:37:00 - [21] arvy want model manticore NOW --------------------------- ALL HAIL TO THE TECHNOVIKING
LastTraitorStanding Amarr The Imperial Assassins	Posted - 2007.10.17 14:38:00 - [22] Edited by: LastTraitorStanding on 17/10/2007 14:38:34 I'd be interested in plastic models. They would be cheap once you get the mold and chinese companies can pump them out faster/cheaper than you would believe. As an aside.. Andrue looks like a depressed me. -------------------------------- Semper ubi sub ubi
Wild Rho Amarr Endgame.	Posted - 2007.10.17 14:38:00 - [23] I'd kill for a model Crusader - with lasers mounted of course.
Izo Azlion Veto. Veto Corp	Posted - 2007.10.17 14:40:00 - [24] Models to build and paint? Of ships in EVE? Is this so hard to achieve? I want one. Navy Issue Thron! Izo Azlion. ---
Valan Genco Interstellar Alcohol Conglomerate	Posted - 2007.10.17 14:57:00 - [25] Check with CCP first! You have to fill in a form and sign it. I looked into it a while ago and mailed Kieron. I've got half a rifter built out of Polystyrene foam using a hot wire cutter. I was looking into different materials for different ship parts and types. I was getting some practice in with the cutter. I used the really thin plywood to make templates for the hotwire cutter. To make the templates I imported ship models into Cinema 4d so I could easily view and measure the dimensions. The more you look at even the simplest models the more you realise how difficult it is. I was planning to build a mould once I had the prototype built. But real life caught up and I don't have the time. /start sig I love old characters that post 'I've beeen playing the game three years' when I know their account has been sold on. /end sig
Rob Adams	Posted - 2007.10.17 15:33:00 - [26] I would buy quite a few scale models if they were quality

I looked into it a while ago and mailed Kieron. Yes, you need to get a non commercial license agreement just to make a model for personal usage (got one as well as I plan to build an Ishtar shaped computer case). No idea what the options are if you plan to sell items based on CCP intellectual property. Jita fix: The distributed market hub
iknowWho Gallente Federal Navy Academy	Posted - 2007.10.17 15:55:00 - [29] domi piniata ftw. Originally by: Stitcher Hold on, I think it's trying to communicate..... Bar wheep grada, wheep ninibong?
