For the first time, in a long time, I painted up a spacecraft mini.
The Conestoga-class colony vessel was originally designed for STL intrasystem travel, and constructed without artificial gravity systems.
Counter-rotating sections of the vehicle used centripedal force to simulate gravity for passengers and crew.
Although the sublight engines were eventually replaced with a Bachman-Turner overdrive for interstellar travel, it was not cost-effective to retrofit with agrav.
Although the photos are a little washed out, all in all I'm pleased with this nice little model that would not look out of place in a game of Galactic Knights.
Cool model and nice painting. Who's the manufacturer?

Yeah, I got it. I'm old.
Nice mini. Nice paint job.
Neat, nice pun on drive name.
ReplyDeleteThanks, y'all! I want to say the mini is from Iron Wind Metals, part of the Battletech or Aerotech line, but I can't remember any more details.
ReplyDeleteI like the model, too, and am also old enough to get the BTO reference, LOL!
ReplyDeleteI asked on the Facebook spaceship gaming minis group, and it's the Wagon Wheel frigate from Aerotech.
