There is nothing really to date these pictures, they still work for me, even if they are from the 1980s. I also like the deck plans as well, I'm using one of them as inspiration for by Delux 1200-dton lab ship. The Lab ship seems especially appropriate for my triplanetary setting, since their is no grav technology in it, I decided to make one with a larger radius so I could spin it at a full Earth gravity, I'm also going to do a Traveller 3I version of it, since one does not exist, as far as I can tell, the other ships are just TL8 versions of more advanced designs, the floor plans are the same, except in space, the crew and passengers float above these floors rather than walk on them, that was fine for the Space Shuttle, so why not have a zero-gee scout ship as well. Travel between Mars and Venus only takes a month anyway, and people who have stayed in the International Space Station for longer than that have survived the experience, so long as they end up on a planet with gravity afterward.

That SDB looks like it's about to deliver a Macross Missile Massacre...

Exactly what the nearby target's crew is thinking!

Traveller has produced some great illustrations over the decades.

Ever thought of putting your 3D designs on to Shapeways?

Would need approval from the copyright owner.

No, I'd have to remodel them etc...

But the Gazelle and Scout are being made into Resin models, with official approval from Marc Miller.

That's awesome, definitely want the Gazelle.
Question though, is Marc Miller against continuing the miniatures? Or having them licensed? As Astra was the last company to make some. RAFM is supposed to have the TNE castings still but doesn't produce them. What's the problem?

 

[Tikon2000]

Oh wait, I'm wrong. They are selling metal minis of the Gazelle as well. Would love to find a copy of the TNE Patrol Cruiser.

Considering how many official Traveller ships exist, what would be perfect is a collection set of the core classic adventure starships and spaceships. An essential collection.

I've designed the Scout, Gazelle and Type T for them.

 

[Reynard]

I know and glad to hear it, now get busy on all the others and put them in a collectors box, chop-chop!! :wink:

Will there be 3 dimensional representation coming?
