I made some Star ship miniatures for the tactical spaceship combat of a Star Trek RPG I'm playing. Most of them are just top-views and bottom views of ships (some direct from the blogs of the designer, like Doug Drexler) aligned so that I can cut and lighly bend them to give a 2.5D feel to them.    I'will put the print version of them in the next few posts. |

These really rock! Thanks so much!
I really should put the ships I've done up on here sometime.

I've gone through a few iterations of 2d/2.5d ships, but for the moment I'm just doing this to the flat ones to fold/glue and slide into the slotted bases I have available. You end up with the a white tab coming down at a 90 degree angle from the bottom of the ship.  |

I had made a space combat game and tested it with some friends. A big chunk of it was designing your own ships, so I made a bunch up to have ready each time we played. These are some of the 3d'ish ones I have leftover. I had to improvise some bases for the moment =) I was never quite happy with the way they were turning out, but it was an improvement over the tokens we were using before.    |

Some of them yes.
Because of the weird shapes and the 2.5D, some of the parts were getting pretty thick after it was folded and glued, so I tried cutting them beforehand and struggling with lining everything up. I feel like I got pretty close to what I wanted, but something still isn't quite right.

Your "JJ" Enterprise is perfect. This'll help me build some of the twin-naceles ships that I was finding difficult to manage on paper.

More Federation ships:  Ferengi Marauders  Jem Hadar Ships  Jem Hadar Battleship (it's big, I couldn't fit it properly in a 15cmx10cm photo with a folding line)  Various alien ships  Klingon Vor'cha, with some light scouts  Vulcan ships First cut out the strips to make the circular warp halos, only then fold and glue the parts of the ships at the line. Fold the halo strips in half and make little circles with them. Edge the Suurok Class halo (the upper one) light blue.  |

The Borg Cut two L-shaped pieces, use the black background to make the flaps  Romulan Deridex Class Align and glue the two sides of the photo.   Romulan Valdore Class  Tholians  The texture of the Vulcan Suurok Class received some minor corretions:  |

Awesome and amazing!
And here I was fixing to abandon space battle games in favor of oceanic combat.

A bunch of cargo ships. these are done in 2.5D, so that the top/down view and the side/side view are monted in a intersecting planes. The federation one has a front/back view as well.  |

I think I have figured out what you mean about the Federation cargo ship hackbarth, but any chance of a picture of the finished model? |

I reworked the Cardassians so I could fit a Cardassian Transport (a Hideki Class) in the sheet:  Anyone else made these ships? I would like to see pictures! |

Great! Looks like a variant of the K7-Station from "Trouble with Tribbles"...
I need to build this station too, but for the X-Wing miniatures game. Have to figure out what the size will have to be in the dynamic scale of the capital ships, so I can re-scale the model accordingly...

Are these meant to printed on a 4"x6" ? The images are optimized to be printed with a photo printer on 10 x 15 cm photo paper which essentially is 4 x 6 inches. |
