[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jason Abbadon: [QB] You probably already know this but the Basilisk Shuttle is the same design (and CG model) as Prince Xizor's [i]Virago[/i]. But if you're feeling that itch to build the model kit of the Virago...god help you. Many good Bothans died trying to get that thing's parts to fit together...and to fill the gaps they leave open! instead, buy the excellent Titianium toy- http://img.auctiva.com/imgdata/3/9/3/0/1/7/webimg/589412424_o.jpg Star Wars Miniatures makes an [URL=http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20070526093620/starwars/nl/images/f/fd/BWDAmini.jpg]excellent[/URL] Basilisk droid with a Mandalorian rider on top...would look cool atop your Computer's monitor or something. I think my roomate has that one. As to the capital ships from the comics, [b]I[/b] personally really liked the disk shaped [i]Couragous![/i] It was cool in that the bridge was on the ventral side -better to observe a large battle or look down on some planet, I suppose. Plus with all tah firepower on the ventral sie, the ship looks designed for planetary bombardment or as a command and control ship for ground troops. It's also (to me) nice to see new designs that look [i]nothing[/i] like the familiar CW/OT designs- after all, it's a few thousand years prior, right? Ship design should have changed radicaly...even in a universe where technological advancments seem to have stagnated- or even fallen backward because of the massive wars that periodicly threaten to topple everything into anarchy. I'd love to make a [URL=http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20071110174358/starwars/images/6/66/Couragoushandbook.jpg]Ixpungible class[/URL] class model (like the [i]Courageous[/i])to go with my Venator and Dreadnoughts... still, it was cool seing the Mandos blow the ship to hell, and for the Mandalore to make his axe from the wreckage! Nothing says "Fuck You" like that move. Yes, that mandolorian shp that looks like a cross between a hairdryer, a Q-bert and a nautilus is bizarrely neat- functionally cool in that it lands on that decending stem part- giving the crew a height advantage over any hostiles around the ship. It's like a fortress that can just fly away. http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/starwars/images/6/65/Jehavey'ir-type_assault_ship.jpg I'm NOT a fan of the Kyramud-type battleship though- too organic and inscetoid. It just does not really fit with the other Mandalorian ships and the scale of them always seems off because they look like fleas- they could just as well be the tiny "gremlin" droids from ROTS. Here's a gift from Season Five of Clone Wars- the Crucible class Jedi transport: [IMG]http://i1173.photobucket.com/albums/r594/JasonAbbadon/JediCruiser-TG.jpg[/IMG] [/QB][/QUOTE]
