spyder May 15, 2011 - 2:22pm | Again, thank you. I have plans on putting out a lot more work, the eleanor has come up a few times so there is a good chance it will come out sooner then later. Im not familiar with all the ships so if someone can post a photo of the moneyspider here, that will help. I have an original freighter I will put out when I improve the mold also a freighter design of my own. |
Captain Rags May 15, 2011 - 2:47pm | Thanks AZ. So how exactly do I click my way over to his privateer collection on here? Gots money burning a hole in me pocket you see. My SF website izz: http://ragnarr.webs.com |
Captain Rags May 15, 2011 - 2:50pm | Here ya go spyder! http://ragnarr.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoid=82343539 My SF website izz: http://ragnarr.webs.com |
w00t (not verified) May 15, 2011 - 3:21pm | Moneyspider - click on Bugs in the System |
spyder May 15, 2011 - 5:55pm | Privateers, scroll toward the top, 6th photo down, prices just above photo, order instructions at top of post. The moneyspider doesn't look too hard, may require assembly. cheers |
spyder May 19, 2011 - 12:17am | Ok This is a rough mock up, just wanted to get an idea how well these will do, just need to buy different mold material, the stuff I just got sucks. After i make a decent mold I can get these out. This will have one body type, choice of two heads (one w/ helmet see my avatar and one w/out), four arms (two left, two right) to customise figure. the pistol is Frontiersman Heavy Pistol (see Issue 8 classifieds of Star Frontiersman magazine. I am taking pre orders for this item I am calling BUG ALEIN, the number for pre orders will determine if it ever goes into production. |
jedion357 May 18, 2011 - 7:05am | Spyder, love the vursk- I thinking you should create a price list with photos done as a PDF and upload it to the miniatures project might be the best thing- keep posting notices here and when you need to you can delete the price list, updated it and re-upload it to the project. I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |
w00t (not verified) May 18, 2011 - 9:24am | Besides pistols, gear would be nice to have as well. Medkit, techkit, coil of rope. Etc. :-) |
spyder May 18, 2011 - 10:18am | Im not that computer savy, but will have a web site to pimp my minis soon. I like the idea of the equipment but just to keep everyone informed small items are not casting well at this time and it takes few cast to get that one good one I ship out. Still I like the idea It would be like the warhammer minis. |
w00t (not verified) May 18, 2011 - 10:26am | Suggestion: If there are bits available you could simply provide links/details of which items go with certain mini's. Unless of course you needed to cast the object with the appendage. |
spyder May 18, 2011 - 1:02pm | Good Idea, I have done something similar on the website for flight stands... Ok, I expect to hear groaning and forehead slapping because of this but.....I now own the rights to these guys....I will post them on the web site when they are back in production . |
w00t (not verified) May 18, 2011 - 1:51pm | Own IP or you Paw3nd IP? ;-) Actually, There is a race someone is using in their Fronteir Space setting that would be perfect for those! I'll pass the word along. |
AZ_GAMER May 18, 2011 - 6:36pm | Those are very good for Gha'kuuk'aa |
thespiritcoyote May 18, 2011 - 6:37pm | Naked aliens!! I would use em. Oh humans!! We discover a galactic community filled with multiple species of aliens, and the first thing we think about is "how can we have sex with them?". ~ anymoose, somewhere on the net... so... if you square a square it becomes a cube... if you square a cube does it become an octoid? |
w00t (not verified) May 19, 2011 - 7:27pm | Revenge and Type-II D ship. Awesome paint job. If you have not ordered mini's from Spyder you are missing that old school mini feeling. Whoa I got that ole school feeling ...that ole school feeling... Numbers on ships are a great idea. |
spyder June 2, 2011 - 12:31pm | I have just sold out of C and D ships for $0.50 I will post on the web site http://omniminiatures.drupalgardens.com when I am ready to produce more. These are some of the items that will be cast in metal so I need time to make the molds. |
spyder June 6, 2011 - 1:51pm | Random encounter alien, Roll for initiative!!!!!! (cast in tin) |
CleanCutRogue June 6, 2011 - 6:07pm | Wow, these look great! Excellent work. I never got into collecting minis, myself (probably lots of you know that) But these look truly excellent. If placed on stands of some sort, they could easily be used for a Knight Hawks night of fun! Especially with my chessex black 1" hex battle mat! 3. We wear sungoggles during the day. Not because the sun affects our
vision, but when you're cool like us the sun shines all the time. |
starbreaker June 10, 2011 - 2:48pm | For anyone who's interested, ebay auction link to a 14-ship UPF task force built out of Spyder's resin models: http://cgi.ebay.com/Painted-new-resin-Star-Frontiers-Full-Thrust-ships-x14-/190543757454?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2c5d4b008e A fairly basic paint scheme, but quick, and the photos show off the relative sizes nicely. Those big ships are REALLY big, especially the hulking brute of an assault carrier. |
spyder June 11, 2011 - 9:06am | I like the paint job, good work. Did you cut off the cannons on the front of the frigates and other ships? If they showed up damaged I would have replaced them. Good luck on the sale. |
starbreaker June 11, 2011 - 6:19pm | Two showed up snapped, so I simply trimmed the others to match. Not a problem, don't worry about it. They still look suitably cannon-y in person. All in all, quite nice ships and extremely reasonably priced. One suggestion, you can probably save yourself a dollar or two on shipping if you can pick up some 400 count card boxes from your local sports card shop or game store and ship via 1st Class Mail. It's generally just as fast as Small Flat Rate Priority and the low weight of resin makes it somewhat more economical unless it's a very large order - about twice the size of mine, at a guess. Won't work as well once you shift to metal and the weight-per-piece increases, but for resin they're hard to beat - shouldn't cost more than 50 cents a box, which you can pass along. |
AZ_GAMER June 27, 2011 - 5:02pm | here is my painting of Spyder's Mine Layer. I really like this ship but I think it looks even better without the external engine nacelles. I probrably will not use this as a minelayer, most likely either a heavy destroyer or some kind of strike cruiser as it is a bit big for a destroyer. |
AZ_GAMER June 27, 2011 - 5:07pm | Another modified mini from Spyder's collection. THe Sathar LC looks a lot like my design for the SW-1 era Sathar Harbinger battlecruiser. So I removed the engine nacelles and it did have a strong resemblance. I made the Hull really distressed with lots of scortches, scratches and "dirt" to convey an old beat up feel. |
AZ_GAMER June 27, 2011 - 5:13pm | UPF Battleship, a little blury in the photo |
AZ_GAMER June 27, 2011 - 5:17pm | Here is one of the prototype 15mm designs I created |
spyder July 7, 2011 - 10:33pm | looks good AZ, glad to see your having fun with them. I like those stand you are using, are they from the litkoareo web site Ive been sending people to? |
spyder July 16, 2011 - 9:46am | I have just bought the production rights to more miniatures and I am working on getting a decent website up, I will have both Sci-fi and fantasy miniatures available. Two of these minis will go to my sci-fi section as random encounter aliens, also I hope to have production molds of my "bug alien" (no photo till its ready, just the wip from above) soon. I have revamped it to have a futuristic looking armour over most of its body, it will have one body w/ choice of two heads and six different arms. Still in the works I am getting away from plastic for the most part and going to metal. This change will effect prices. Random encounter alien |
