Sutible Min proxie for the Gaim.

Have you had a look at Drew's Hive ships?

Hang on; you're complaining about the Gaim ships, calling the scale "atrocious"... yet you don't even want to use tham as Gaim ships?

The Gaim minis are fine. Just because they don't meet your needs, is no reason to bash them! They are nice models, good scale for what they are supposed to be, and a good enough range of designs for the Gaim.

 

[nightshade]

Yay Gaim! Need more fighters...

Matt: will those be available in the US?

 

[Sting52jb]

Fist of Burger I do want to use them as Gaim ship's and by scale is atrocious as stated before they are all to large when compared to other fleets, why are the Gaim the only fleet with only two escort sized ships?

All their ships are the size of the Hyperion Plus.

I'm not bashing the designs just the lack of different sized ships available.

Check out the news page of the latest S&P. . .

But if you lost the B5 licence how can you restart reproduction of ACTA minis?

If you look at the stats for the Gaim ships and reckon that damage points is some indication of size (not always valid but it's all we have to go on here), the only two with fewer than 20 damage points are the Stak and the Shuuka. Those presumably are the two whose models are smaller than a Hyperion.

So the reason all the models are large is because all the ships are large.

As for restarting production of minis, the Gaim ships never appeared on screen so those designs may not be licenced from WB. All Mongoose has to do is rename them, possibly along the lines of some of Studio Bergstrom's offerings. (Whose Hive Empire ships might incidentally solve Sting52jb's problem.)

Quite intressting. Can you be more specific ?

Are the Gaim ships a Mongoose design so therefore not canon? That way Mongoose can re cast them as they are not canon and in theory not part of the B5 license.

Just a wild guess here.

 

[Burger]

If so then that would presumably extend to Mongoose's other ships such as G'Vrahn, Ka'Kin'Tak, Adira, White Star Gunship/Carrier, Drakh Carrier, Shakara, etc. In fact even the ships AoG made up, although JMS declared them as canon, were not licensed from WB so maybe they can all be re-named? All we would be missing are the ships seem on-screen.

Maybe we will have Bobylon 6 after all

Maybe we will have Bobylon 6 after all

Would be great if there was. Or maybe even a Bibatron VII

Always thought it a bit strange Gaim (& Drakh?) didn't make it to Iron Wind.

One things for sure going to be very interesting to see how this one turns out.

 

[AdrianH]

The difference between the Gaim and the others is that the entire Gaim fleet is pure Mongoose design.

When a certain ambassador was very young, his mother called him Baby Lons. It is not known whether she was psychic. :lol:
