I'm looking for some paper starships that match up closely to Wormhole scale. I recently been looking into the game and it looks like a blast but I think it needs more ships. Also by reading some post on the forum at WWG it looks like the game is on the back burner so probably no new expansions for quite a wile would be my guess. Thanks!

Try these- www.bricksite.com/paperwar?id=327520Six distinct themes, though truthfully, some of them I'm having a hard time figuring out exactly how they're supposed to go together or be folded. There's also a Terran Fleet Nate Augustyn made specifically for Wormhole (I think), that I'm pretty sure I downloaded from a link someone posted here on the forum, but I for the life of me can't remember where it was. If nobody knows where it is, I could probably send you the files.

dcbradshaw: I remember seeing those posted one time, They defintely look neat. If I remember correctly he has a forum that has build pictures, maybe I can find that link again? I think I'll have to give those a try, 2.5D isn't bad, Lol. squirmydad: Those looks sweet and I like the color. They also look like easy builds. How would I scale them to be used with wormhole, or first I should ask is how much different in scale are they to wormhole?

Most of the models are about the size of a small frigate, the destroyer is about the same size as a frigate. The main problem is that he built all of his fighter craft really big instead of in super tiny Wormhole scale. You'd need to to do a fair bit of rescaling and combining their images to make them into fighter squadrons like WH has them.

So most of the main ships are probably about the size of the Particlebow Frigate then? If so thats not too bad, might be nice to have a hand full of ships just that size, Lol. Also would these work with Wormhole: momirfarooq.webng.com/swfleet/index.htm The ships in the fleet battles section? Also not sure if someone knows where these are but I seen on WWG Forum some one made a 3D Particlebow Frigate, Particlebow Underside, and Particlebow Frigate Damaged. Are these included or where are they found? Thanks again squirmydad for all the info! ;D

man... I love starships! And yes I own my wormhole copy! ;D I´m working on the homeworld ships I know that we have a lot of papercraft stuff on-line, but I´m simplifying the models cause some are to complex to rescale. I did ALL the stats for guns, special abilities from almost all game races and starships: Kushan, Hiigaran, Turanic Raiders, Somtaaw, Kadesh, Vaygr, Beast (yeah... infected ships including sathrican ones!) and the special ships like the Ghostship, Sajuuk, Guardian As we are working with copyrighted things I never posted my ships on the worldworks forum. I´d like to share my "work" there... BUT I´m almost sure that I can´t due the their kitbash and forum rules... sad... here is one example Kushan scouts! And they´re wormhole sized! (I did the corvettes using the Sathrican Missile Fighters counter (I think that the corvette´s present on the original game are a little oversized... =P) now my creation... will be a future small carrier maybe it will become a kitbash not sure about... :/ Cool ships! I´ll re-texture them!

Agree...if you have built them, could you take some photo to show how they should come out? There's also a Terran Fleet Nate Augustyn made specifically for Wormhole (I think), that I'm pretty sure I downloaded from a link someone posted here on the forum, but I for the life of me can't remember where it was. If nobody knows where it is, I could probably send you the files. I can't find them, nor remember them ..... how they was?

Sounds awesome, Homeworld ships would be perfect for Wormhole! Which ones are you working on now? I did ALL the stats for guns, special abilities from almost all game races and starships: Kushan, Hiigaran, Turanic Raiders, Somtaaw, Kadesh, Vaygr, Beast (yeah... infected ships including sathrican ones!) and the special ships like the Ghostship, Sajuuk, Guardian As we are working with copyrighted things I never posted my ships on the worldworks forum. I´d like to share my "work" there... BUT I´m almost sure that I can´t due the their kitbash and forum rules... sad... Yea WWG has some weird rules on kitbashes. My theory is if someone went through all the trouble to make the kitbash and wants to share it they should be able to, even if it's put into a file that comes with the game after it's bought. Just by reading through the forums there it looks like there was a lot of really good ideas and bashes but they ended up getting shot down. here is one example Kushan scouts! And they´re wormhole sized! (I did the corvettes using the Sathrican Missile Fighters counter (I think that the corvette´s present on the original game are a little oversized... =P) Wow that looks awesome! I definitly would love to use them in my games! ;D now my creation... will be a future small carrier maybe it will become a kitbash not sure about... :/ Now that looks like an amazing ship! They should give you your own section here to post your works! It looks simply awesome! ;D Cool ships! I´ll re-texture them! Definitly would like to see that project!

I found a link to the forum that has more build pictures and such, looks like the printed pieces are mounted to foamcore or something to give a more 3D look: www.powerfist.dk/forum/index.php?board=251.0I can't seem to remember tho, were his ships to Wormhole scale? There's also a Terran Fleet Nate Augustyn made specifically for Wormhole (I think), that I'm pretty sure I downloaded from a link someone posted here on the forum, but I for the life of me can't remember where it was. If nobody knows where it is, I could probably send you the files. I can't seem to find it either?

The ones I didn't know where I got them, they're Slick's that squirmydad posted. I didn't put together that Nate = Slick. Couldn't remember for the life of me where I had gotten those, and there's no link on the printout.

I have most of Slick's figures and I didn't even put two and two together, and I think I've even seen those ships before, Lol.

Sounds awesome, Homeworld ships would be perfect for Wormhole! Which ones are you working on now? Well I´m working on the kushan assault frigate and on the Matriarch (support frigate). And it´s not an easy job... because the frigate miniatures are too complex, with a lot of small details and boxes. I did two prototypes but no sucess... but let´s continue our research! hehehe Yea WWG has some weird rules on kitbashes. My theory is if someone went through all the trouble to make the kitbash and wants to share it they should be able to, even if it's put into a file that comes with the game after it's bought. Yeah. Agree. The rules are too severe. We must own/do 100% of the things used on our projects (textures, design etc etc) or use their material, otherwise no chance to publish on their site or forum (they could at least let us create an area to share our jobs with other wormhole owners). According to their rules I can´t upload my homerwold things to their site/forum and this is disapponting. I´ll use the game textures because I´ll not spend time redoing every texture. It´s just for fun, not to sell... Just by reading through the forums there it looks like there was a lot of really good ideas and bashes but they ended up getting shot down. True. A lot of ships were forgotten/deleted/abducted/consumed by temporal anomally... I saw an interesting Gate ship, but no idea were to find it.

bladegolem: I was wandering, is there any chance on getting a copy of all your models/kitbashes and stats for Wormhole that you've done so far, they definitely look awesome? ;D
I've considered messing with Slick's starships and doing what you thought and re-texturing them, but not sure how hard that will be. I think as mentioned, if they weren't resized, they would all be around frigate size, it would just be the fighters that would be complicated since they are 3D and would have to somehow be resized to a 2D token.
Lol, I also kinda wish someone would make the starships from Stargate Atlantis in Wormhole scale, it would definitely be awesome to see, Lol. Something tells me tho it would definitely be hard to do, Lol.

I was wandering, is it possible to change a models color in Photoshop? I like the Terran Fleet but not the bright yellow color so much. Would it be possible to turn it in to a different color?

Don't worry uptrainfan89, the main idea is to share the job! hehehe I need recruit some "testers" to balance the homeworld starships, I'll put your name on the list okay? About the fighters, well... you can print them and take some "up view" photos, after that use the GIMP or photoshop to make the counters. Or try to fold them using a 3d program or the graphic editor. I was wandering, is it possible to change a models color in Photoshop? I like the Terran Fleet but not the bright yellow color so much. Would it be possible to turn it in to a different color? Yes it is. One possible way: select the color using a tool that select similar colors. After everything is selected go to colorize and slide the bar until you reach the desired color. (Well... I do this way but using the gimp... maybe you can adapt the idea to use the method on the photoshop).

Don't worry uptrainfan89, the main idea is to share the job! hehehe I need recruit some "testers" to balance the homeworld starships, I'll put your name on the list okay? Yea, Definitely! I'd love to help play test any ships. If you need my email it should be on my profile, if not for some reason just send me a message, lol. ;D I picked up Wormhole and Wormhole Versus wile the sale is going on at WWG so saved me a little bit, (also got the kitbashes, lol.) so now I'm working on building enough to get some gaming/testing going. The only thing I didn't get is the Map/Asteroid set since I didn't want to use a ton of ink on a map (I figure a black table cloth works just fine and is easier to store, Lol) and I can just make flat asteroid fields, in fact I think I got the free flat on that came with a turret a wile back. It was in the Wormhole supplemental or something like that, Lol. I'm actually giving it some thought about making castings of rocks and paint them as asteroids. (More 3D than the ones in that set, Lol.) About the fighters, well... you can print them and take some "up view" photos, after that use the GIMP or photoshop to make the counters. Or try to fold them using a 3d program or the graphic editor. Yes it is. One possible way: select the color using a tool that select similar colors. After everything is selected go to colorize and slide the bar until you reach the desired color. (Well... I do this way but using the gimp... maybe you can adapt the idea to use the method on the photoshop). I'll have to give that a try, Lol. Can't believe I didn't think of that. I recently took a class at the local college on using Photoshop and got Photoshop CS5 Lol. It's always the simple things that seem to elude me, Lol. ;D I've played GunCrawl for the longest time and I think Wormhole is now tied with it for my favorite game, Lol. ;D Edit: Also now that I think about it I wish WWG would have included blank/no data bases for some of the ships or an editable version. It would make kitbashes easier.

I´m planning to do something like the floorplans for the wormhole ships, but to play using the guncrawl (I have future plans to modify the guncrawl set, maybe adding rusted floor painels or battle damaged doors/props/new xenosaur species etc etc). Maybe fuse the two together obtaining almost an rpg hehehe Totally agree with the blank bases. After some forum scout I found only blank stat cards. some blank pds files containing blank TOS/trays are welcome... now some good news: seven kushan squad fighters/corvettes counter´s arts are ready! \o/

Maybe fuse the two together obtaining almost an rpg hehehe That sound's really neat. Floor plans for Wormhole ships would definitely be cool to see, also thinking about it you could actually play out boarding actions in Wormhole, maybe even sabotage or take over a ship, Lol. Just a side note, I like using the Terra Force verse Slick's NCC Troops in GunCrawl and since the NCC have that Power Armor I gave the Terra Force the M.A.D. Drones (Tau Drones) that Adam Souza and Highlandpiper put together. I've also recently started messing with Darkmook's Zombies for it too. Sammo made a neat Raptor Drone as well and its bases work well for the M.A.D. Drones too. Totally agree with the blank bases. After some forum scout I found only blank stat cards. some blank pds files containing blank TOS/trays are welcome... I'm thinking about making some of the bases into just plain star field bases. It would make using the ships for non-player ships or even other rule systems lots easier. now some good news: seven kushan squad fighters/corvettes counter´s arts are ready! \o/ Awesome, that is good news! Can't wait to try them out! ;D

now some good news: seven kushan squad fighters/corvettes counter´s arts are ready! \o/ Did you have a date in mind to start testing? I have most of the base Wormhole stuff needed printed and built, Lol. ;D now my creation... will be a future small carrier maybe it will become a kitbash not sure about. I was looking back at this, and it looks sweet. Do you have a base texture in mind? Also did you make it in Sketchup? I'd love to test the base white build model if you unfold it and make it available? On a side note (wile finishing up a couple small Wormhole builds) I think I'm also gonna build up a few of Slick's Starships and see there scale, I think they're all Frigate size, so I'll compare them to a couple of the Frigate sized ships in Wormhole, if so I think I'll just make them into a race who uses mostly just Frigate sized ships and a couple fighter squadrons.

I need to check some details first to see where I stopped. After that I´ll tell you okay? I was looking back at this, and it looks sweet. Do you have a base texture in mind? Also did you make it in Sketchup? I'd love to test the base white build model if you unfold it and make it available? Yes! I have a base texture! And another yes I used the sketchup. Let´see... I´ll unfold it again (the last try wasn´t so easy too build. XD) After that I´ll post it here. \o/ On a side note (wile finishing up a couple small Wormhole builds) I think I'm also gonna build up a few of Slick's Starships and see there scale, I think they're all Frigate size, so I'll compare them to a couple of the Frigate sized ships in Wormhole, if so I think I'll just make them into a race who uses mostly just Frigate sized ships and a couple fighter squadrons. Good idea. I think that it´ll not be difficult to resize them if necessary. And looking slick´s models the bigger one will be the destroyer, resize it to something between the frigates / hammerhead. Maybe 14 cm long?
