I'd assume the same resin cast as the old ship models is the most cost effective in terms of detail, strength, stability and so forth - though its customisability is poor.

I'm not sure how many people I speak for here - hell, it could even be just me - but eight inch Algos, Thrasher, and Corax kits would really make my day, and earn CCP a further share of my discretionary budget.

Eight inch frame would be ideal.

DRAMIEL

VENTURE or any of the barge / exhumer hulls or even an ORCA

RATTLESNAKE or any variant of the Scorpion hull


I imagine a plastic model kit of anything in what will realistically be a limited run item (almost every boy not living in some war torn hell hole has had a model Spitfire at some point but EVE is not nearly as widely known) may end up rather expensive. Plastic kits are injection moulded. The production process itself & the raw plastic is dirt cheap, but the cost of manufacturing a decent injection moulding die is relatively high. You could cheap it, use recycled steel, not have the die hardened and make a few hundred runs before the die warps - fong kong style Blink

3D printed or cast resin probably being the best options.

Banging out a positive on a 3D printer from an ingame model, and then making a mould from that positive for resin casting is the way I'd go...

But don't look at me, I'm still trying to find the time to get my Dommie PC case from paper to RL

Oh, yeah. The other thing I want is to have them *now*. You've got warp tech and stargates, CCP. I will camp my mailbox.

... with changeable subsystems parts. So I can make it different once a week.

I apparently have no idea what I'm doing.

Привожу ссылки на русский сайт по игре, где я выкладывал собранные модели из игры. Любой фанат игры может сам собрать модель любимого корабля. Задумка разработчиков - прекрасный шаг по популяризации игры.
Однако имеет смысл обратить внимание,что ранее модель корабля имела стоимость +100$, если будет конструктор,то цена его будет намного выше. Модели собранные мной имели стоимость по материалам - 15-20$ и конечно массу удовольствия ;-)
Предложение полностью поддерживаю. Единого мнения - какой корабль из игры делать первым не будет.
Приношу извинения за стиль написания,использовал электронный переводчик.

Here is a reference to the Russian site on the game, where I was lecturing collected models from the game. Any fan of the game itself can collect favorite model ship. Idea development - perfect idea to promote the game.
However, it makes sense to pay attention to that earlier model of the ship was worth $ 100, if the constructor, then its price will be much higher. I collected models were based on the cost - $ 15-20, and of course a lot of fun;-)
Offer full support. Consensus - which ship from the game do not be the first.
Sorry for writing style used electronic translator.
