Erim Solfara Amarr House of Solfara	Posted - 2007.10.17 16:27:00 - [31] Edited by: Erim Solfara on 17/10/2007 16:27:32 I'd love to see some plastic airfix style self-build models, particularly of the omen/zealot Die cast is too 'look at what I bought!' and not enough 'look at what I made!' A new tool in the fight for balance?
Tawrich Tistrya	Posted - 2007.10.17 16:33:00 - [32] I'd love to have a Dominix diecast model with pluche drones that i can annoy my cats with^^ Fck i'd proly get an entire Gallente fleet if the'd put em up for sale
Riddick Valer	Posted - 2007.10.17 18:23:00 - [33] While models you can actually assemble would be expensive, what about pewter replicas or a decent quality plastic? These should be paintable , capable of being easily attached to some sort of base for display, and fairly cheap. Plus, by varying the base material, you get several different qualities. CCP already has in-depth 3d computer models of their ships. Just use a rapid prototyper or 3d printer to create a 3d phyiscal model, then use that model to create the molds. Maybe I'm missing something, but it seems like a fairly inexpensive and easy process (relatively).
Sylvia Lafayette	Posted - 2007.10.17 18:31:00 - [34] anything gallente PLEASE!!!!!!! if its the new pink domi..... OMGWTFPWNBBQ
Kaori Sendai Caldari Caldari Navy Volunteer Task Force	Posted - 2007.10.17 19:19:00 - [35] Well, in theory one could extract the models form the .stuff files, and convert and prototype it in a 3D printer like this. I'm sure there's companies like Fabjectory.com able to print it for you.
Mekk Azal November Night Industries	Posted - 2007.10.17 19:22:00 - [36] Originally by: Dotard 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. Make her jeolous and order a phoon

Maybe I'm missing something, but it seems like a fairly inexpensive and easy process (relatively). Not really, the extra cost would come from the designing of the molds, the kits themselves would be alot cheaper to produce don't you think? Either way, Airfix is dead now, so it hardly matters. Perhaps there's another company we could propose this to... A new tool in the fight for balance?
Tamayo Amarr The JORG Corporation Methods of Mayhem Alliance	Posted - 2007.10.18 17:05:00 - [38] Scale models of EVE ships would be great, whether die cast metal or plastic I'll have a Sacrilege and Vengeance, please ! ...it ain't pretty when the pretty leaves you with no place to go... ...if you think you need it, hereÆs the place to feed it. But it ainÆt pretty...

Etchyboy Minmatar Firman AB 101010 Alliance	Posted - 2007.10.18 18:17:00 - [40] Would you take ISK? I would like either a Hurricane or a Hoarder.
Theo Samaritan Gallente Pheonix Reborn	Posted - 2007.10.18 18:24:00 - [41] CCP used to have those laser cut glass blocks with ships inside them. Not sure if you get what I mean, but its usually a solid block with a white lazer etch inside. Apparently they were quite cool. Bring them back! ______________________________ A Request About Lag Discussion -- Yet another "Edit my sig devs!" request \o/
Valan Genco Interstellar Alcohol Conglomerate	Posted - 2007.10.18 18:49:00 - [42] Oh yeh I did forget to mention that this has discussed loads of times before and CCP stated the development was too expensive. Hence the desire to build my own. One of my EVE buddies has a model Megathron or was it a Brutix from a fanfest. /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
Delusion 'Fel Minmatar Nefarious Ratiocinations Zzz	Posted - 2007.10.18 20:37:00 - [43] i wouldnt mind a rifter or wolf model tbh I suspect the missus would prefer a thorax.

Yakoff Star Scream Inc. Ultima Rati0	Posted - 2007.10.18 20:45:00 - [45] No, you want the gallente iterons. They are ribbed. And come in 5 different sizes.
Ashimar Lanora Amarr The Ankou The Reckoning.	Posted - 2007.10.18 20:48:00 - [46] I have to think with the White Wolf merger that models of some kinds (finished or assembly required) are right around the corner....and it only takes one guy really good with LEGOs to come up with a cool Lego Nyx!
Jack Target Koshaku Interstellar Starbase Syndicate	Posted - 2007.10.18 20:56:00 - [47] I'd like a model Cheetah because I intend to fly it for some time and I expect I'll become attached to it.
Chainsaw Plankton IDLE GUNS	Posted - 2007.10.18 22:28:00 - [48] Originally by: Surfin's PlunderBunny Edited by: Surfin''s PlunderBunny on 17/10/2007 04:10:20 I want a Hurricane shaped cheese knife Edit Maybe a Nyx beanbag chair and an aeon sofa? with avatar coffee tables?
Dubious Drewski	Posted - 2007.10.18 23:11:00 - [49] /me has tons of modelmaking experience and will likely build a Rifter or even Merlin after midterms are done. Yes, I know the slashes don't work! Originally by: Slayton Ford a Drake is normally primaried last And that's why I love that homely boat!
Dalmont COLD-Wing Mordus Angels	Posted - 2007.10.18 23:17:00 - [50] Personally, thanks to Tri-Exporter, a good CAD teacher, some dumb luck, and a Rapid prototyper, I can now 3D print EvE models in ABS plastic. Going to make a chess set. Look for the EvE chess thread down the road. I'd still like to see official models though. Something nice enough to display, then again, why not make your own? There are some good how too threads on that I hear. And some rather nice models.
Futher Bezluden Minmatar ORIGIN SYSTEMS Atlas Alliance	Posted - 2007.10.18 23:24:00 - [51] signed. THUKKER -Be Paranoid
Erim Solfara Amarr House of Solfara	Posted - 2007.10.18 23:56:00 - [52] Hell if someone could do some work with triexporter and/or produce a guide how to make our own scale plans of ships I'd have a ***** at scratchbuilding! Nothing too complicated, just a side on, top down, and front and rear views of the ship with annotated dimensions? CCP could look into doing at least that, they used to have 'blueprint' style images with some rudimentary data from WAY back, something like this wouldn't be hard to knock up? Hand them over to the forumites and eventually you'd get a general consensus on what to use and how to build them into decent models? A new tool in the fight for balance?
MotoTsume Gallente Clan Black Scorpion	Posted - 2007.10.19 00:32:00 - [53] A Hurricane model would rock and so would a Myrmidon and a taranis and a, and a, and a, ..... ---------- www.mototsume.ca It's just a game........Or is it?
Sovereign533 Caldari The Collective Against ALL Authorities	Posted - 2007.10.19 00:45:00 - [54] giev me a nice and shiney Apoc =D (or an Ishtar) =p or or or... an Archon =D
SoftRevolution	Posted - 2007.10.19 01:20:00 - [55] You can't really fault anyone for not using that >>> search function. And /sign again. I want an Enyo or an Arazu.
Gavin Neltharek Caldari Bloodmoney Incorporated	Posted - 2007.10.19 01:51:00 - [56] I'd take a nightmare and Machariel model. Maybe an Apoc too. Don't know too many choices. I'd ask for a cane but TBH, it looks too much like a star destroyer to me lol. Faction ships FTW! <----------------------------------> A medley of death and evisceration... Let fate choose my enemies demise.
Kyusoath Orillian Northern Intelligence Veritas Immortalis	Posted - 2007.10.19 02:23:00 - [57] well i have begun work on on rifter, not too hard really, parts taken from this Linkage rest of parts made from various odds and ends, plasticard and old sprue bits. i would love ccp to make models for sale, but its been a while now and they are not forthcoming. with ccp owning whitewolf and whitewolfs ties with games workshop i thought they could use this as a way to get model kits made thru them, much like the other expensive show pieces at http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/. however i'm making this model, and if i so wish will sell it , as far as i can tell ccp have no way of stopping this and i see no reason to stop me , its not like i'm building a business out of it. also as a back up i do not care for authority, and do as i wish and believe to be fair. did cambells soup try and sue andy worhol ? (sp?)
6Bagheera9 Slacker Industries Exuro Mortis	Posted - 2007.10.19 02:57:00 - [58] Edited by: 6Bagheera9 on 19/10/2007 02:59:50 Could I get a dustbin that looks like a Typhoon?
Flavan Gallente The Graduates	Posted - 2007.10.19 03:19:00 - [59] I would buy a Thorax. Seriously though, anyone who wants to do this should just sort out the legal stuff with CCP; produce them, and sell them. But as I mentioned, I'd wanna Thorax. Flavan Ardene System Blog Quote: How soon into the game do I have to be before Caldari no longer smell like old shoes?
Valan Genco Interstellar Alcohol Conglomerate	Posted - 2007.10.19 06:48:00 - [60] One question that CCP did not answer was if I could sell it for isk. What I intended to do was make a model and then rather than have some rich uber player outbid everyone I was going to run a lottery. I'm gonna look building a Heron again I think. /start sig I love old characters that post 'I've beeen playing the game four years' when I know their account has been sold on. /end sig
