Title: [BFG] Ravenstar Studios ships
Post by: timdp on July 01, 2014, 07:26:58 AM

Ordered some to the ships (mostly BSG I guess) from Ravenstar and they arrived  a bit ago, so here is a (sort of review) and some pics.

Started working on the civilian ships and space stations. The civilian ships are pretty cheap if you get the big lot of 30 ships for $65. Even if you chuck the smaller ones (second pic), they are still only $4 each.
The castings could be quite a bit better. Most of the molds seem past their prime. Expect to spend some time on cleanup. Once cleaned up they make quite a nice varied selection of ships.

Civilian ships with BFG cruiser for size comparison. A similar number of these ships are being Nurglized.

Smaller civilian ships with BFG cruiser and Cobra for size comparison. These smaller ships seem less useful and there is more cleanup needed on them. Would work a system ships perhaps.

Space stations with BFG cruiser for size comparison. Cylon five-rayed star is unmodified. The other two are lightly modified and are still waiting for me to figure out what to use for gothic style city detail at the centers.

the large space station looks good and like it could easily become a BFG station

having looked through, some of the cylon ships could pass for Necrons
