I was messing around on Google and found this.  I thought all the ships in that movie were CG.  But it turns out there almost all real.





I want one of these for my place!
So as through a glass, and darkly
The age long strife I see
Where I fought in many guises,
Many names, but always me.

There are only 10 types of people in the world , those that understand binary and those that don't.

And the same goes to B5 model, man I'd like to have one of those.

[color=66ff00]Being a builder of RL™ models I used to get a magazine called sci-fi and fantasy modelmaking (apt name huh? :) ), the magazine often had features on up and coming film props. I saw the Rodger young etc. a week or two before troopers came out. What's even more impressive though is the Event Horizon minature, it's somewhere in the region of 20 to 30 feet long. If I can hunt out those magazines I'll scan it, bloody impressive. :nod:

Ah... the good ol' Rodger Young... :D
Spoon - I stand in awe by your flawless fredding. Truely, never before have I witnessed such magnificant display of beamz.
Axem -  I don't know what I'll do with my life now. Maybe I'll become a Nun, or take up Macrame. But where ever I go... I will remember you!
Axem - Sorry to post again when I said I was leaving for good, but something was nagging me. I don't want to say it in a way that shames the campaign but I think we can all agree it is actually.. incomplete. It is missing... Voice Acting.
Quanto - I for one would love to lend my beautiful singing voice into this wholesome project.
Nuclear1 - I want a duet.
AndrewofDoom - Make it a trio!

Looks like that ship has everything except sensors that can see more then 10 miles ahead.

So it does. But then, there are near identical ships in all Sci-Fi entities these days. Except Perry Rhodan, of course.;7

How many of you have heard of that?

Oh my gosh, Perry Rhodan, Peacelord of the Universe!!

*goes to bookshelf*

I always wanted to complete my "collection". It's really pathetic - I have 9, 11, 12, 14, and 15. :(


...but wait a minute, didn't they just have these spherical ships... Stardust was one, no? Yeah, it was just a sphere 800 yards in diameter, with a bulge around the equator that made it look like it had swallowed a 1960's Flying Saucer. :p

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

Don't do a Zylon on me. The film had space ships and monsters in it, which is good enough in this gaff.
