I can't choose which ships I would prefer, I love too many of them, however I hope that enough people support the idea of Airfix/Tamiya style kits, I haven't made one of those since the 1980s and would love to be able to relive that joy combined with my love of the eve universe.
Hopefully such kits would also raise awareness of eve in the model building community, where there are plenty of people who would appreciate the depth and strategy of eve.


This is in no way a downvote for pre assembled models, I just want an excuse for another hobby Pirate

I would be willing to pay $200-$300 for a high quality vindicator model

One thing though, if CCP art department is still "updating" and redesigning some ship models, then i would refrain from doing any physical item of it.....otherwise we would end up with an outdated item.

Old versions of ships would make great collectors items, though!

Hawk & Thorax - you get 4 variations for the price of one for each (Merlin, Hawk, Harpy, Worm & Thorax, Phobos, Deimos & Vigilant).. Assemble and paint yourself please! Scale size - not too damn small thank you (Ham fisted at the best of times lol).

Then it becomes a 'Collectors item'...

I'd really like to have a model of the Daredevil. Of all the ships in eve, i find it to be my favorite to look at. I'm not one to make paint things myself, and would like it prepainted, and i would love for it to have lighting. As for size, i'd like it to be between the size of a softball to a lunchbox. That's just my opinion, and what i'd really like to spend my money on.

Taranis (or Atron, since it's the base Hull)

Painted, preferred, of a decent weight and heft. I would personally prefer NOT to have "assemble yourself" models, since I used to do a lot of models when I was younger, and quite frankly, most of them tend to suck.

Navy Scorpion

Metal construction, preassembled, and painted. Lights would be a bonus but are not necessary. I'm perfectly okay if the model ends up being something like 32-33 inches across...although at that point cost might be a major issue so I would understand if it would need to be scaled down further.

My list is long:

Apocalypse
Wyvern
Nyx (someone suggested a table-sized one, I think that would be hella cool)
Archon
Maelstrom
Sacriledge
Zealot
Leviathan
Kronos/Megathron
Slicer/Malediction/Executioner
Widow/Scorpion
Keres
Manticore
Ishkur/Enyo/Incursus
Harpy/Hawk/Merlin/Worm
Naga
Oracle
Vargur
Vagabond

So yeah pretty much everything.

No assemble-yourself models though, please. I did far too many of those when I was younger, and they just tend not to hold up (especially if you ever handle them for more than blowing the dust off).

Tengu-class cruiser!

Love that starship, I'd buy it. Doesn't matter which configuration is chosen though I'd surmise the most common would be picked for physical modelling. I also don't care what kind of model, I'd buy it. Hell, I'd even accept a tedious papercraft version...

Really, I'd love to have any of the Caldari warships made into physical models. Would prefer them to not be too large, perhaps no larger than the ceramic cast battleships that were once available at the old EVE store (I got me a Raven model before it shutdown).

Idea
However what I believe to be most important, is that all the ship models are built to scale by size comparison as they are in the game. In other words, a Kestrel model should not be the same size as a Rokh model.
