matt56 Posted September 25, 2019 Posted September 25, 2019 I have been interested in snagging one or two larger ships to use in BSG scenarios. I just noticed David Manley's Doncaster post in which he mentioned a C-MON cruiserr from X-Wing that would work as a transport for BSG...so I googled it and found the C-ROC cruiser. It looks like it would work nicely with the game. Does anyone know of other ready-made ships out there that might work? The nice thing about the C-ROC is that it is not an iconic Star Wars ship (at least in my eyes) that would look out of place in 'another universe'...so any ideas on other ships that would be suitable? Any advice is most welcome:) All the best, Matt Quote
David Manley Posted September 25, 2019 Posted September 25, 2019 C-MON, C-ROC, I was close (and the model.is on the other side if the Atlantic from me just now so I couldn't check ) Quote
matt56 Posted September 25, 2019 Author Posted September 25, 2019 I meant no indictment of you, David! When I googled C-MON, the C-ROC came right up.... The Google Machine knows what we mean:eek: And, by the way, your choice of non-BSG ship is pretty cool, indeed:sAprvd::sAprvd: Hope your flight home is uneventful and you have a blast at Doncaster. All the best, Matt Quote
flash Posted September 25, 2019 Posted September 25, 2019 How about the Gosanti Assault Carrier Matt ? Quote
matt56 Posted September 25, 2019 Author Posted September 25, 2019 Oooooooh! That's nice, too, Dave! Another X-Wing model, I assume...I shall have to look for it, too... All the best, Matt Quote
MajorAlanYoung Posted September 25, 2019 Posted September 25, 2019 The Gozanti would be easy to fit with 4 vipers under its wings. Quote
flash Posted September 25, 2019 Posted September 25, 2019 Oooooooh! That's nice, too, Dave! Another X-Wing model, I assume...I shall have to look for it, too... All the best, Matt You assume correctly Matt. It's the Imperial Assault Carrier that carries 4 Tie types beneath it ... Quote
Flying Helmut Posted September 25, 2019 Posted September 25, 2019 I shall be bringing a C-ROC and a Gozanti to Donnie on Friday morning Maybe something else as well.............. Quote
BobP Posted September 26, 2019 Posted September 26, 2019 I just receive a SQUADRON catalogue and they have BSG models (Viper II/Viper Mk VII & Cylon Raider) in 1/72 scale. Then Colonial One in 1/350 scale and the Galactica & Pegasus in 1/4105. Don't know if this is something you might want to check into. Quote
matt56 Posted September 26, 2019 Author Posted September 26, 2019 I was aware of these, Bob, but it's nice to know Squadron carries them! Thanks for the info. I might build Colonial One and one of the Battlestars eventually... I was more interested in ready-finished models that would take little prep time to get on the board for gaming, hence the interest in the Star Wars X-Wing models. While I certainly don't mind building and painting a model or two for the game, the pre-built models that I could simply repaint (should I so choose) are more in line with what I'm looking for at present. And in looking at the two cruisers mentioned above, I think I might want to repaint one, should I find one. They're a tad pricey, although their MSRP is a fair bit, too... I shall have to see what I can dig up. All the best, Matt Quote
matt56 Posted September 26, 2019 Author Posted September 26, 2019 Dave, in the pic you show in Post #7, the rearward ship is in my collection of SW:X-W models - I received it in a trade deal for X-W vs WoG a while back. But it is too iconically Star Wars to use in BSG (from my perspective). A shame, really, because it's a lovely model...but I really do like the assault/attack cruisers. I will have to see if I can find one... All the best, Matt Quote
matt56 Posted September 27, 2019 Author Posted September 27, 2019 Well...I found a decently priced C-ROC cruiser on Evilbay and snagged it - it should be here next week......and I think it's going to be in for a repaint... What's not to love about this game, eh!? All the best, Matt Quote
Flying Helmut Posted September 27, 2019 Posted September 27, 2019 Well...I found a decently priced C-ROC cruiser on Evilbay and snagged it - it should be here next week.... That's where 99% of my stuff comes from.............. Bargains CAN be had if you persevere! Quote

That was your jump to FTL ! Hopefully you'll find a carrier on Evilbay soon too. Quote
matt56 Posted September 27, 2019 Author Posted September 27, 2019 No, Dave, I knew you wanted me to look at the foreground ship - it's just that I already have the background one and cannot use it (don't want to use it) due to its iconic look... I imagine I will pick the Gosanti up, too, if I find one at a good price... All the best, Matt Quote
BobP Posted September 27, 2019 Posted September 27, 2019 Here is a scan of the page with the BSG and the whole page. Hope this is more informative. They are pretty expensive as you can see. Quote
Flying Helmut Posted September 27, 2019 Posted September 27, 2019 This turned up @ Donnie............. Quote
matt56 Posted September 28, 2019 Author Posted September 28, 2019 Looks very nice! The Moebius kit, I assume? All the best, Matt Quote
Zoe Brain Posted September 28, 2019 Posted September 28, 2019 Slightly modified C-Roc and a heavily kitbashed Gundam Type 89 Base Jabber . Quote
flash Posted September 28, 2019 Posted September 28, 2019 This turned up @ Donnie............. [ATTACH=CONFIG]275685[/ATTACH] I thought that was going to be 'the other' ship you took Tim but didn't want to say anything and spoil the surprise. It looks grand mate Quote
Jager Posted September 28, 2019 Posted September 28, 2019 I for one don't mind using "iconic" ships in BSG games; since I never watched the new series, I have no emotional commitment to it's continuity. I thought briefly about buying a SW Millennium Falcon at a game shops' going out of business sale, but decided his markdown off the $40 wasn't' enough to add to the pile. Karl Quote
Flying Helmut Posted September 30, 2019 Posted September 30, 2019 Looks very nice! The Moebius kit, I assume? All the best, Matt Yes, this is the 1/4105 Moebius Models "re-imagined" Battlestar Galactica kit. I bought one off ebay to build & paint, then this one popped up, already completed, for an utterly nonsense price, so I snagged it! Lost in space................. FRAK 'New Caprica'! Quote
matt56 Posted September 30, 2019 Author Posted September 30, 2019 My C-ROC cruiser arrived today - quite the nice cargo ship it will be! I shall have to do a Battlestar, too, one of the days, but building one or two models and then fleshing things out with pre-builts will be my way to go, for sure. Thanks again for all the suggestions, folks, and thank you, David Manley, for first putting me onto the C-MON/C-ROC:) All the best, Matt Quote
OldGuy59 Posted November 1, 2021 Posted November 1, 2021 If you want a big ship, and aren't too picky about the source... Imperial Star Destroyer Model Kit Dimensions (L × W × H/D): 42 cm × 76.5 cm x 38.5 cm (16.54 in × 30.12 in x 15.16 in) Imperial Shuttle Model Kit Model Kit Dimensions (L × W × H/D): 8.1 cm × 12.4 cm x 15.4 cm (3.19 in × 4.88 in x 6.06 in) Imperial Tie Fighter Model Kit Dimensions (L × W × H/D): 8.5 cm × 8.2 cm x 12.2 cm (3.35 in × 3.23 in x 4.8 in) Model Set Weight: 0.79 kg (1.74 lb.) Not to scale, but the price is more than reasonable, and it looks cool in person. US Link: Costco.com - Star Wars Imperial Star Destroyer 3d Multi-pack Set $26.99 USD UK Link: LiquidatedGoods.com - Star Wars 3D Model - Imperial Star Destroyer Set £25.99 Just the shuttle would be a nice civilian target, if nothing else?
