Mechakucha Kusari Gallente Blancmange Interstellar Kilts Archaean Cooperative	Posted - 2008.10.22 00:50:00 - [1] Dear all, Sorry for taking quite so long on this, it's been only a small bit of hell on this end of the spectrum. Without further ado... The boxes: Amarrian Apocalypse Imperial Issue: Caldari Raven Navy Issue: Gallente Megathron Navy Issue: Minmatari Tempest Fleet Issue: One more set of pictures with all of the models and boxes together... Hope you enjoyed this first group! Diplomacy hiding in plain sight...

Dyaven Interstellar Mining and Research	Posted - 2008.10.22 01:22:00 - [13] Is the Navy Mega camo like that in-game, or pitch black like it appears to be? Either way, it still gets the sexiest ship vote imo.

Mechakucha Kusari Gallente Blancmange Interstellar Kilts Archaean Cooperative	Posted - 2008.10.22 01:53:00 - [16] Again, apologies for the gaffe of posting images vs. links, thanks again for the fix on this. Some of this was probably the camera, as the actual colors are a bit more subdued relative to the pictures, themselves. Have to agree with the opinion that the Megathron is a very sexy beastie. My complaints are mainly on the Tempest, which does not have the panels of the fleet issue, but rather that of the standard ship. Thanks for the catch on the Apocalypse, I've since changed it.

Apoctasy The Python Cartel	Posted - 2008.10.22 02:38:00 - [17] exactly how much money did you spend on this?
Mechakucha Kusari Gallente Blancmange Interstellar Kilts Archaean Cooperative	Posted - 2008.10.22 02:46:00 - [18] Went with that initial sale price on the quartet of "faction battleships" and then used the slow-boat shipping, which turned out to be pretty damn fast all things considered (showed up two days earlier than projected). Arrived in three different boxes, which had me worried at first. The camera was purchased with lots of coupons, and a rebate, ended up being about $100.00 (USA).

ShardowRhino Caldari Legion 0f The Damned	Posted - 2008.10.22 04:58:00 - [19] Man, those pics aren't the problem. The problem is the noob paint jobs on those things. Nothing against those that bought them. Just the paint looks really disappointing.

Nothing against those that bought them. Just the paint looks really disappointing. This. As an artist, the paint jobs just kill the overall impact of the pieces. The Apoc is one of the best looking, if only because it's paint job is the least worst. The Megathron looks horrible, as does the Raven and Tempest. WTH CCP? The Mega should be a mirror polished black chrome with gunmetal details, and the Raven would look great in a really dark burnished copper brown with some midnight blue tinting to it. And the Tempest? When in hell has a Tempest ever been that color? It needs the reddish brown of Minmatar rust all over it. The models look really detailed and pretty finely crafted. You're killing it with the paint.

Nothing against those that bought them. Just the paint looks really disappointing. Copycat, but this. I was wondering whether or not I should've just maxed the CC and got the faction model quartet, instead of just the raven (since the cam paintjob kinda looked cool in the shop pics on the raven). That said I was mighty impressed with the standard raven model regardless (especially the faint dirty-look it has, though that may be a result of now being in my house for a month ) Seeing the campaint job on the raven, I'm glad I didn't get it. They look too,,,,,, comic-booky,, rather than the insidious machines they look like toys. Minmatar one especially looks like a six year old should swing it round yelling "pew pew pew" rather than being a $170-plus model (after shipping) to display on your desktop or mantle-piece. That said, the Geddon does look cool, but thats the only one.
Falcon Troy Caldari State Protectorate	Posted - 2008.10.22 05:46:00 - [23] WOW. CCP needs to fire whoever was in control of this project. The end result models look NOTHING like the ones that were shown when these were announced. These look ****ing terrible and I'm glad that even with them looking nice before that I opted not to waste money and something embarrassingly stupid like this. _____________ Hai.
Marshall Jannsen	Posted - 2008.10.22 06:01:00 - [24] This seems like a really good idea that wasn't implemented with a lot of common sense. I'm a warhammer player myself, so I'm the kind of nerd who lurves having little figures floating around his computer. I've long though there should be some EVE models, specifically I would like to see a Badger 2, a Crow, and maybe a Thorax for my own selfish use :) But the pricing on this, over 100 USD for a die-cast model, and the somewhat lackluster paintjob (I paint my tabletop armies better than that) made this something I won't really consider buying. I'd like to emphasize here to any CCP reps that might be reading, that the big issue is the price rather than the paint. If I really wanted to I could strip those in brake fluid and drybrush them from the hull up. Spending over 100 dollars on ANYTHING that's basically just an item for super hardcore collectors, isn't really giving access to those of us who are just moderate hardcore players. I would be happy to cough up ten or twenty bucks for a little plastic Badger or Drone that I could zoom around the room while my ship warps, but this stuff is even more pricey than expensive wargaming materials. Better luck next time?
Ankhesentapemkah Gallente Federal Defence Union	Posted - 2008.10.22 06:48:00 - [25] Just repaint them to marauders. That's what I'd do if I get one for free. --- Thanks for all that supported me. Let me know if there's anything I can do for you.
Keitaro Baka Babylon Scientific and Industrial Enterprises Babylon Project	Posted - 2008.10.22 13:12:00 - [26] I have to agree with most of the negative people here sadly.. The paint job is horrific :'( which is even worse when you consider the studio photos: This does NOT equal this (and that's the best looking real photo the op posted, if you consider this one it's even worse) I know you can do a lot with lighting, but truth be told the model looks a lot cheaper than what you pay for it: the uneven lines, overall crookedness and paintjob. If it would come in cheap white plastic I would just paint it myself and it wouldn't have to cost more than 35 euros or 50 bucks. I really hope the normal versions of the model look better than this. And yes I know the ships actually look like this in eve (premium) and it's the lighting and system backgrounds that make them a lot darker, but still, at least there could have been an effort to make them look more like the ingame look rather than a 1-1 copy of the skin and 3d model :/ I love how you made them available, hope there will be more ships and better quality soon All the stuff above does not necessarily reflect my corp, my alliance or even me..

Mordrake Orbital Anvil Technologies	Posted - 2008.10.22 17:11:00 - [32] Yes the paint is not all that good on them, if I ever get one I will make it the bare bones version and paint it myself to be in line with whatever version I wish it to be "Arte et Marte"

CCP went the cheap route. Rather then make the Fleet Tempest panels accurate, they just did a slightly different, though no less boring paintjob to their standard Tempest model. I was at the house with Mechakucha Kusari when he unboxed them for the photos. The panel issue was the first thing I noticed. He was very dissapointed as well.

So they can hide in jungle-colored gas clouds? Indeed the paint scheme undermines the sense of scale. That's actually a good point.. But there's no painting that could be considered "tactical" since you lock onto a ships signature radius.. So the camo painting is probably just to state that it's a military vessel..

BATMorpheous Caldari BAT.EMPIRE	Posted - 2008.10.22 18:39:00 - [39] i just had a look at the raven navy issue ..... i have to admit i tried to rotate the pic by left clicking and dragging
ShardowRhino Caldari Legion 0f The Damned	Posted - 2008.10.22 20:22:00 - [40] Originally by: BATMorpheous i just had a look at the raven navy issue ..... i have to admit i tried to rotate the pic by left clicking and dragging haahahahahh. I know that I have done that when going through screen shots of eve. Not only that but tried to open up various menus and thinking "wtf, lag???". Okay about my post above that was quoted a few times. I'm sure theres going to be several others that agree. The issue with the models is the grotesque paintjobs. Sure, maybe they are hand painted but as someone that has played, collected and painted his own minis for a tabletop wargame, in this case Battletech, others have also done the same. I think we will all agree that any noob with a massive paint brush could have done the paint jobs on these models in no time. Being a nerd gamer, i have been to shops with resin models that were around $50 and up. The price for the models, while high aren't completely alien. However I would expect the paint job to be higher quality. If CCP were to make unpainted models and sell them for less(whatever ccp is paying for the paint job), they would probably get a warmer reception. Personally I like the idea of CCP making models of the ships and I hope that enough people buy them. Enough people to get CCP to decide to add onto the line. Personally I would like to have a Ferox model but a smaller sized one then these massive looking models. Something about the size of a brick, no more. While I understand the studio shots of the models I have to say that one of the posters above makes a good case. CCP should have shown some sitting on their desk before putting out the studio pics of the models. Some could say the models were grossly misrepresented. More models, maybe smaller,lower priced but no paint jobs unless its a something simple like black or grey.

Clair Bear Coalition of Nations Free Trade Zone.	Posted - 2008.10.22 20:55:00 - [41] Wow, my 11 month old has better looking Fisher Price toys. Glad I didn't get any, but thank you OP for your hard work in posting these.
Zaerlorth Maelkor The Maverick Navy Pupule 'Ohana	Posted - 2008.10.22 21:11:00 - [42] I must agree the paint jobs make them look awful, except for the Ammarian ship, Silver looks ok, but what the hell went wrong with the others? Looks like someone's been throwing buckets of random coloured paint at the ships. Navy Mega ingame is dark and sinister looking, not this jolly green crap. ================================================== I should really get a sig.
Ryan Scouse'UK omen.	Posted - 2008.10.22 21:22:00 - [43] This is more proof that CCP just wants ur money for little effort those models are horrible! bad paint & everything! no EVE related content in signature. ~Weatherman

Indeed. Can we get internal affairs to hound the guys who choose the company that does store items like models and stuff? Maybe get them to do some QA before the models are at mass production level? Tbh if I was CCP I'd send a bunch of predatory class action suit lawyers over to the ***ups who made these monstrositys and scare the bejesus out of them or even get them to gasp* put out a quality product. C'mon CCP you can do better. inappropriate signature. ~WeatherMan
Lord Zoran House of Tempers	Posted - 2008.10.22 22:54:00 - [45] like others have said the paint jobs are what make me think argghh
Mechakucha Kusari Gallente Blancmange Interstellar Kilts Archaean Cooperative	Posted - 2008.10.22 23:00:00 - [46] LOL! Kind of going in order... The Apoc is probably the best one of the bunch, the paint job looks like it is fairly close to what we see in game... Unfortunately, I've seen more Paladins than the Navy versions of this ship. The darker steel color sets off the brighter silver top quite nicely and the different plates are separated out much like what has happened with the new skins in the game. Not sure if it is a conglomerations or not of two different models, but I really don't remember seeing the sharp projection on the top of the left wing of the Raven, and remember it being somewhat rounder. A few of the smaller spines or antennae didn't make the mold and that's a bit of a shame. The paint job is a few shades too light from what I remember of this ship in the game. Would've liked to have seen the various tubing have a bit more definition to it, especially in the nose of the craft. Otherwise, I'm fairly happy with it. With the Megathron, the real downer is that the shades of green used for the paint job, make the model look more toy-like and well, overly plastic looking. Really loved the molding work that was done on this one, and have to say that the details that are well, hidden by a poor paint job really take a vast amount away from what is arguably one of the sexy ships in the game. Sigh... Dyson summed it up best, "disappointed..." I understand that the modeling/molding of Minmatari ships is very difficult due to the amount of piping, spires of various types and the different paneling, let alone the vast amount of delicate work to be done on the overall construction, but still... This model should have had more detail to it than what it has, and more open air parts to it, vs. the solid construction of the three spires leading from the "main body" of the ship, itself. Kind of a shame that whoever did the modeling/molding work for the Megathron didn't have a repeat with the Tempest. Lastly, they don't seem to be in scale to one-another, with the Raven being a bit smaller than the rest, and the Apocalypse being larger than what it should be relative to the other models. Maybe the might look to a different group of casters, maybe "Reaper?" Viper Warhawk for CAV It'll be interesting to see who CCP uses for their miniatures based game when and if it comes out... Diplomacy hiding in plain sight...
Pater Deus	Posted - 2008.11.21 17:00:00 - [47] Respectfully, can I suggest you take the pictures again? Get some ideas to make a "neutral" (black for starters) backdrop from here: http://www.foundvalue.com/how-to/b/ebay-photo-studio http://www.raydobbins.com/photosetup/photo7.jpg From my own experience in photography use a basic light setup: Adding to what the links suggest, use three lights not two. This is the way to get "control" of the final image. - First one is the "main light" which illuminates the ship from left, right, bottom, bottom left, right back, etc., from where ever "the system sun is". Play with the lights. - Next is the general "fill" light, which provides general overall illumination to the ship. This one can be at the top or bottom. - The third light is also a fill light but a faint one that will put light where the main light provokes darkness. In terms of wattage power: First light is (say) 100 watts Second light is 50 watts Third light is 25 watts If you use same wattage light bulbs then use distance: First is (say) one foot away Second is two feet away Third is three feet away. You don`t have to use special photo lights, any house lamp or even an electric extension with a light bulb attached to one end will do. Only make a kind of reflector to direct most of the light, from any shiny material like aluminum foil. Take into account when doing this that the reflecting surface must be the same in all three light to have better control of them. Do not use the built in camera flash. Your camera as most this days, is a point and shot and that includes a flash that doesn`t ask if its needed. Flash will flatten your pics, even more if they are at such close distance. Because it is digital and you won`t be spending on film, you can try several times to improve the images without any damage to your pocket. So subdue or cover the flash completely and use a setup with a backdrop and light bulbs as suggested. You`ll see a dramatic change in the image quality of the ships image. Tips: -Avoid mirrors - better rotate the ship -Avoid distracting background - use a neutral backdrop -Set the enviroment - use dark "space like" background (later you can create backdrops with planets or asteroid belts or whatever) -(Try to hide the plastic setup base) -Shot in a dark room or at night so you have complete light control. -Try shooting as near as possible in some pics to give sense of "big" size. Some can be out of focus but then... that is artistic effect -Want it shinny? Oil it with a light personal (hands) oil. -Want it shinny in some places only? Oil it in those places only. Taking pics of things we like in a controlled situation is most rewarding, even more this days we don`t have to wait for the image to come out.

Troye Gallente Strix Armaments and Defence	Posted - 2008.11.21 17:21:00 - [49] looks at the Megathron and vomits CCP do away with the hand painting and sell us them unpainted for less. Even an unpainted model would look much better than these and then the buyers can decide whether to paint theirs or not. I collect warhammer and the painting of the model is part of the fun, but a proper good quality paint job takes hours, especialy on models of that size and hand painted models on a mass scale don't work.
JafoPBCFR One Stop Mining Shop	Posted - 2008.11.21 17:35:00 - [50] CCP seriously. Who ever you have painting them. Try a Preschool i think the result would be same and cheaper labor. However ya make the Manticore model and Id prob buy one. Just dont paint it. Ill let my 2 yr old son doit.

Sell these pre-painted ones for a higher cost, as 'Special Editions' or 'Limited Edition' models. Then sell mass-produced unpainted models for a lower cost. I would sooo pick up an unpainted Hurricane and maybe a Crusader/Malediction if those came out. And I think maybe those camo patterns would look better if they were simply scaled down a lot. -------

Shogun Archer Gallente Jericho Fraction The Star Fraction	Posted - 2008.11.21 17:56:00 - [55] Edited by: Shogun Archer on 21/11/2008 18:01:45 Unpainted and unassembled would be optimal. Get a company like Tamiya or Dragon to make model kits of these. As it stands now they just look like cheap Fischer Price toys. I am a professional photographer, and I do have to say that the OP's pics make them look even worse with the overpowered uncontrolled flash and lighting. Still, you can tell the models themselves aren't that high quality. I doubt they are that bright though.

Meeogi Amarr Lone Star Privateers	Posted - 2008.11.22 14:03:00 - [66] Edited by: Meeogi on 22/11/2008 14:05:02 Originally by: Pater Deus Respectfully, can I suggest you take the pictures again? Get some ideas to make a "neutral" (black for starters) backdrop from here: http://www.foundvalue.com/how-to/b/ebay-photo-studio http://www.raydobbins.com/photosetup/photo7.jpg From my own experience in photography use a basic light setup: Adding to what the links suggest, use three lights not two. This is the way to get "control" of the final image. - First one is the "main light" which illuminates the ship from left, right, bottom, bottom left, right back, etc., from where ever "the system sun is". Play with the lights. - Next is the general "fill" light, which provides general overall illumination to the ship. This one can be at the top or bottom. - The third light is also a fill light but a faint one that will put light where the main light provokes darkness. In terms of wattage power: First light is (say) 100 watts Second light is 50 watts Third light is 25 watts If you use same wattage light bulbs then use distance: First is (say) one foot away Second is two feet away Third is three feet away. You don`t have to use special photo lights, any house lamp or even an electric extension with a light bulb attached to one end will do. Only make a kind of reflector to direct most of the light, from any shiny material like aluminum foil. Take into account when doing this that the reflecting surface must be the same in all three light to have better control of them. Do not use the built in camera flash. Your camera as most this days, is a point and shot and that includes a flash that doesn`t ask if its needed. Flash will flatten your pics, even more if they are at such close distance. Because it is digital and you won`t be spending on film, you can try several times to improve the images without any damage to your pocket. So subdue or cover the flash completely and use a setup with a backdrop and light bulbs as suggested. You`ll see a dramatic change in the image quality of the ships image. Tips: -Avoid mirrors - better rotate the ship -Avoid distracting background - use a neutral backdrop -Set the enviroment - use dark "space like" background (later you can create backdrops with planets or asteroid belts or whatever) -(Try to hide the plastic setup base) -Shot in a dark room or at night so you have complete light control. -Try shooting as near as possible in some pics to give sense of "big" size. Some can be out of focus but then... that is artistic effect -Want it shinny? Oil it with a light personal (hands) oil. -Want it shinny in some places only? Oil it in those places only. Taking pics of things we like in a controlled situation is most rewarding, even more this days we don`t have to wait for the image to come out. You cant dress up a turd. Wax on Wax off
Don J Doom Guard	Posted - 2008.11.22 14:58:00 - [67] Have to side with the majority here i'm afraid. Models themselves look good but are let down by the paint. I wonder if ccp would consider releasing them unpainted.
Nyphur Pillowsoft	Posted - 2008.11.22 15:18:00 - [68] I didn't think they could make these models more disappointing than the original versions but it looks like I was wrong. It should be clear at this point that the company hired to produce and paint these models are rubbish. It's not just the quality of the ***ty airbrush job, the models are made of unfinished moulded plastic and it shows*. Without some kind of reflective finish to mimic the model reflectivity we see in-game, the plastic model has the same diffuse reflectivity as the dull moulded plastic it's made of and that makes it look very cheap. What I'd love to see is someone in the community with model-painting experience buying one and painting it up properly to show CCP what that model COULD look like if painted and finished well.

sartorii Genco Curatores Veritatis Alliance	Posted - 2008.11.22 17:40:00 - [70] Originally by: Keitaro Baka I have to agree with most of the negative people here sadly.. The paint job is horrific :'( which is even worse when you consider the studio photos: This does NOT equal this QFT, glad I didn't waste my money. Price for me wasn't the problem, but for what CCP is asking the quality is severely lacking. I knew the propaganda shots would be inaccurate, but it is staggering the difference between them and the actual delivered product. someone needs to be fired. *"disconnect and self destruct one mullet at at time" [sic]*

Valan The Fated	Posted - 2008.11.23 00:00:00 - [74] I have to say I was toying with the idea of buying one until I went to the fanfest. Apart from the guy selling them was a tosser which pretty much means I'll never buy anything EVE related they looked awful. /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
Vj Fury Caldari Elite Secret Society	Posted - 2008.11.23 08:56:00 - [75] I Love the thought of the models for sure and I was actually considering buying the set but the problem is that the value of these things doesn't compare to the cost of them. For starters the Paint is Horrible , They look like plastic ( very cheap look to them all around ) for a triple digit price tag per model I would expect a hand painted die cast model on a nice looking stand.. Not plastic painted in a workshop by developmentally disabled individuals But again Love the concept , just needs more quality for the price.

Tiirae The New Era HUZZAH FEDERATION	Posted - 2008.11.23 10:37:00 - [78] Originally by: Keitaro Baka This does NOT equal this Actually they are the same, the only differences between those ships is the photography. But I agree all of them are poorly painted and the ones that have completely wrong paintjobs are borderline scams. I've got hundreds of hours experience with airbrushing polycarbonate model car bodies, and I would love the opportunity to paint my own mega with the proper navy scheme + my own battle scars and extra details. unpainted models, yes please!!!
Trad0ran	Posted - 2008.11.23 11:08:00 - [79] ugghhh seriously they look aweful. Even a good model can be completely ruined by a bad paint job.. and those are baaaaaaaaaaaad paint jobs. Release them in kit form unpainted, it works for other gameing related models.
Seishomaru	Posted - 2008.11.23 11:09:00 - [80] These models project are one of my biggest let down in eve. First awfully expensive, then they look infinitely inferior to the advertised. Really horrible painting. Last they are plain LYING! they say its a fleet tempest then send a normal tempest. If those were sold here where I live I would for sure get a nice and fat compensation fee by pointing to costumer defense institutions the fakeness on the advertisement vs real product. Really horrible product CCP. Almost as pathetic as the boot.ine failure (at least there you could have an excuse that all went too fast and no one noticed something was wrong)
