STRATIOS

Sorry if this isn't the right place, learning forum- first time posting.

Having been a miniature builder and painter for over 12 years (Warhammer 40k mostly) I would really enjoy seeing these as multi-part injection-molded plastic kits. As far as the scale goes; bigger is better. But you can also do 1/1000 scale so you can have the ships be proportionate to each other. OR you can just make the ships (i.e. Stratios) roughly 6 inches long and properly proportioned from there. As far as which ships; do as many as you can!

Ceptors are always fun to fly and the hull actually would look nice. I would say make it a little smaller than the original battleship models. Maybe the size of your hand.

I would like a dragoon. Preferably in some kind of metal. Maybe it would be pretty small, but it would be worth putting in a display case.

Must have the lights!

As for the level of the assembly, I have basically no artistic skills, so a close to complete as possible :p

The Harpy would make a nice plastic model. A detail that I would like for this would be actual gun models(preferably blasters) on the ship. They should be static.

Nyx and Thanatos 1:350-1000 with little fighters and pretty green lights for landing bays included.
Preferably a self assembly because otherwise it would cost a fortune for a model of that size.

If you can get the model detail quality to something like this model has, all the better.
That's 19" resin model which although some what harder to paint then plastic allows for more detailed model (though plastic models can be near equal these days).

Tristan, obviously.
Vigilant or Navy Vexor
Talos
Bhaalgorn or Vindicator

I think you should keep the sizes of the Battleships the same, and then just make each class slightly smaller than the one above it. So frigates would be the smallest (and cheapest) at only 2-3 inches long/high. If you keep the frigates smaller and cheaper then they might be a nice option for those who aren't willing to drop $300 on the BS models.

Oh, and it would be cool f the drone boats had little drone x's on wires floating around them.

Machariel, Cruor or the Hurricane for me.

Noctis would be kinda cool too.

Surely 3D printing would be a good way to do ship models? Good way to do 'paint your own' ones anyway.

I would like a Rokh model. Preferably all metal and mounted as the head of a hammer! :D

But seriously though, Rokh model please! Metal if possible, the Rohk should just have some heft to it, it's a tanky beefy battleship. Plastic would just feel wrong :(
