The 'Fayre Winds and Foul Tides' expansion for Galleys & Galleons adds all sorts of fantastical delights to the game, including a range of aerial options. I made a few of these back when I started playing, but up until this week I hadn't rebased them in keeping with the current look of my fleets. When I used a couple of ornithopters in the game I played last week I decided afterwards that it was time that I rectified this.
So here's my original batch of aerial vessels - some airships, including the small airship pirate Opehlia Vitrix, and a trio of ornithopters, including the all-red machine of the legendary Crimson Count.
My game last week also inspired me to make a few more ornithopters, and here they are. The fuselage is a piece of matchstick and the rest is card and cunning painting.
I decided to have a go at a larger vessel - a bomber of sorts. It came out OK, and I may make some more.
And encounter between two flights of ornithopters.
My other aerial element (still unbased) - the flying island of Laputa.
They look terrific. Nice builds.
ReplyDeleteGreat work! Really nice models Kaptain
ReplyDeleteSimple but VERY effective, Kaptain ππΌππΌππΌ. Love those ornithopters π. Sea basing is very convincing, too…is that a print or painted? Also, what are the core of the airships made from?
ReplyDeleteThe sea bases are printed. I made a texture image a few years ago from one of my photos, then I can drop it into a Word table with cells sized the bases.
DeleteThe airships are 90% 3D printed.
To my mind the airships very much have a look of either a children’s sweet/toy or something medical π

I think they were part of a child's mobile on Thingiverse, along with some fun fantasy looking ships (which you will have seen elsewhere on this blog as the Ivory Towers of Balnibarbi). I just scaled them down.
DeleteThey did come with a small loop on the top to hang them up with - I cut it off and filled the gap with Milliput.
