Spacecraft Models and Minis

Looking outside the tabletop, there's a lot of models of existing space vessels, a fair few of them free.

That one has a few proposed things that avoid just recycling a Soyuz or the IISS that would be spot on.

These are awesome!

I'm still looking around for anyone that might have done a near future spacecraft builder kit. You can get a fair way kitbashing IISS modules and such, but there's likely someone that has done it. Just a matter of getting the right search parameters.

Kerbal Space Program is getting too many hits. But I guess you could do worse than 3D printing KSP vessels.

There are a lot of suitable models on sites like Thingiverse:

The Martian Mars Ascent Vehicle (MAV) by DeltaXF

Modeled in TinkerCad. MAV ready for printing and well detailed.

Keep in mind the golden rule of miniatures gaming: If it looks right, it's the right scale.

That might look perfectly fine on the tabletop, even if the hatch is now a large one.

Mongoose Matt, if this Kickstarter is successful might there be any plans to engage with 2nd Dynasty as part of the Traveller license to create some Pioneer vessels similar to the Small Craft campaign a couple of years ago?
A Capsule with it's Service Module, A Space plane, a couple of Space station modules? Asking for a friend, that has an order ready?
