Starships

Making Starship models

I like your use of... is greebles the word?

I think that's the word Adam Savage uses.

I like your use of... is greebles the word? The little details on the hulls, including plating and stuff.

That's what Mark Hamill called them when describing the bits on ships in Star Wars in one interview.

I believe the term Nernies are also used

There are several gleebles parts sets available for 3CG. I have purchased and used some of them. What is also necessary for modeling is a lot of persistence in sticking things on little by little every night.

Thank you for making the art.

An odd hypothetical question from me.

If Mongoose Publishing decided to have Traveller 2e translated into Japanese and sold in your country, would you be interested and willing to be one of the artists for the book (assuming that the compensation was acceptable)?

The Fer-de-lance-class destroyer escort consists of four blocks. In the bow block, a control bridge and living compartments are arranged. Behind it is a central hull block with cargo hold, a hangar, a jump drive and fuel tanks. On both sides, there are drive blocks with maneuver drives and powerplants installed. Six laser turrets are arranged to concentrate firepower in the bow direction. After Block III, an armored hull was adopted, and the bow block was changed from a spherical shape to a more constructable polygonal shape.

To answer seriously, first of all, I am very happy about the creation of the Japanese version. Next, regarding the use of my illustrations, I feel honored. There is no need for compensation for the use of my previous works. On the other hand, I have only drawn parts of spaceships, and my speed of creating artwork is not suitable for commercial purposes. Also, my art style is unique, so I think it would be difficult to adjust the balance with the wonderful collection of Mongoose's works.

I think in many cases they should adjust theirs to match yours.

Well done!
