Well, no, cuz that's a link to some really cool maps. I wound up just typing the "The Professor's Paper Empire" in to a search string to find it.
Awesome hat btw Chugosh. I want one.

The DLand moonliner was one of my favorites as a child. I loved standing at its base looking up--it's not so impressive now as an ornament for a Coke stand.
The Professor's page is quite a stroll down memory lane. When I was a kid I lived on Air Force bases, and the Flash Gordon serials were a staple of the base theater's Saturday morning showings. Oh great, now I'm all angsty.

As there seems to a fairly hefty number of requests for Terra Force varients and aliens, here's my 2cents.. ;D
"Battle Damaged" with bits of armor blown away / melted to show injured marine under it. Maybe some with no helmets/gloves to indicate a previous encounter.
As for ideas for sci-fi aliens. How about some other unarmed aliens not holding a weapon. but are still lethal in their own way? (Ignoring the existing "predator" style hybrid stalkers)
A plant based humanoid that sprays acid from the "plants" it has for hands/head.
A dumb herbivore sci-fi alien (still fits in a single character space) but would bulldoze it's way past a Terra Force marine with it's horns. Ie still deadly on a space ship despite not wanting to tear apart a marine list the stalkers do.

A DHD is basically the console that u use to dial the gate address to the gate on the planet or space that u want to go to, lol. The ring and wormhole is the stargate.

Are there already modern hazmat/NBC suits?
Both pre- and post-infected ;D

Darkmook minis, nice! That's a tough looking crew. Now all I need are some hazmat civilians. Paging Dr. McGuffin! ;D

Hello all, I am looking for any near-future civilian vehicles that have a Blade Runner style to them, so it's all about huge tires and hover cars Doesn't matter if it's free or not, so far I know of the Ebbles / WWG stuff as well as a three-axle truck in desert camo I can't remember the source of. Scale should be 28mm. I haven't found anything else like it on the net, so I'm asking here, perhaps someone knows of other models or is even in the process of designing them

I'd like to see another set of Alien Hunters based on the Predator/Predators films and AvP graphic novels.

Me again I am desperately looking for some small to medium sized sci-fi props for my Bladerunner project. They could be anything that wouldn't look out of place in 2019s Los Angeles, maybe things like Communication Arrays, or futuristic market stalls, or even something entirely lese that looks generic enough! So far I made a custom street light based on the one from 1992s Syndicate, and a normalar back-alley dumpster from Mega Miniatures. The stuff from WWG doesn't really suit me. Anyone know of something like this? As I said, could be any techy bits or whatever.

Have you looked through Finger & Toe's sci-fi and modern stuff? Might be some appropriate pieces, especially if you print them in the monocrome. Dave Graffam also has a handful of sci-fi pieces that might come off really well for cyberpunk, in fact I think the board has talked about some of them being very Blade Runner/Fifth Element-esque. Maybe not the size you're looking for, but pretty cool and always easy to build. And look through Mel's stuff, a few things pop into my head that would be appropriate- the Folding Unit Structure, the Landing Platform, and maybe some of the prop stuff for incidental decor.

Cylons, both new and old, please I'm looking for old Cylons, too, and have been for a while. Now I'm actually going to take a whack at it. I've drawn the fronts, but at a much larger size than 30mm. I don't have a clue about the backs. Here are a couple: Now, who out there can come up with some original series Colonial Warriors?

@blackcat13: You are off to a fine start. It is completely normal to design much bigger than 30mm. Here is what I think I would do. (I find I get better responses if I offer a plan to critique rather than asking for a plan.) Go to the "Designing Figures" board on this forum and then go to "Jim's Design Aids" (FYI Jim was actually the original One Monk, he started this place)(I'm dumb, here is the link: cardboard-warriors.proboards.com/thread/1907/jims-design-aidsInside the "packet" you want to have a look at two pdf's in particular "average male torso, arms, heads" (I forget the actual order) and "average male legs" is a separate sheet. I think you want to make a set of cylon legs in the poses Jim developed as well as his heads (3/4 left, front on, 3/4 right)and a few ways for arms to hold weapons. Then you can mix and match parts to have a variety of poses. There is probably a tutorial for whatever graphics program you use to create a metallic effect. I think cylons need that. There are other tutorials on that board that you might want to have a look at. I always intended to do one about backs specifically, I haven't yet but I'd be willing to help you out once you got some cylons posed. I feel like I have seen some figures that would re-colour to colonial warriors but I didn't find them last night. I'll look again.

Thanks Cowboy, it'll be a while before you see these guys again. I found a poorly proportioned fanart sketch and redrew it. Transferring it to these parts will be a real challenge, but that is what it is all about, I suppose. Wish me luck.

I did some surfing around and I think that Greywolf (aka Jordan Peacock) sci-fi figs would mod pretty close to Battlestar and I would use them in a pinch. Some of Jim Hartman's (aka One Monk's ) terra force have a helmet that almost work, but you might be better off starting from scratch, with the help of design aids, if you like the one monk look.
I realised that if you draw back sides to each posed part, you can assemble backsides the same way you do the fronts. There will be a lot of work before you get your first fig, but you would have dozens of figs shortly after that.
Truthfully, the size of the project intimidates me, and I don't game in Battlestar world, so I'm not very motivated, but I wish you luck.
Edit: Can't help myself, I started on the legs, you start with the helmets and we'll meet in the middle.

So, boots are next. I'm really impressed at how easy Jim's template makes this (so far.) I realize you can mirror 5 out of six of these poses so there will be LOTS of unique figures
