The 2000 Chicon Fleet

First of a new style for this year.

Too bad I'd glued-on the nose before I realized it would have looked better upside-down.

It started as a freighter to go along with Big Blue Mercifully, it didn't get near so big.

Some nice shapes and proportions. Built from a Czech tanker.

I tried to copy one of Adrian's excellent ships. I don't think I did it justice, but you be the judge.

Sort of a cross between my usual kind of ship and a B5 Earthforce destroyer.

Inspired by one of the ships from the game Homeworld.

It's wonderful being able to get a headstart on a ship by modifying a casting. An IPMS Nationals winner.

I wish another movie like Alien: Resurrection would paint a ship in a style I could copy every year.

A group shot before packing the lot off to Chicago. You might get some sense of their relative sizes.
