Onto the Liberator next...

(Blake's 7) System Chase Craft
Rather than start with the iconic Liberator I painted up the two System Chase Craft I purchased from Admiral Duck Sauce at Shapeways (sold as Alien Pursuit Ship 48mm). Being ships from the same alien race as the Liberator, the Chase Craft design share a similar look although they only have the central hull and a red propulsion globe rather than the Liberator's green. The models are not 100% accurate (as the screengrab from the second series episode Redemption below shows) but they are nicely done and paint up well enough.
I am tempted to get a couple more to convert and maybe one of the larger 95mm models to use as a larger class vessel.

Looking excellent, good work already.
ReplyDeleteNiiice! These particular vessels weren't available when I picked up my Liberator etc - so I missed the opportunity to get some - you've made them look mighty tempting now, though... I believe they also do a Scorpio too...
ReplyDeleteNice work, do you know what kind of weapons they used? Laser?
ReplyDelete@SteelonSand - they do indeed do a Scorpio now and I picked one up at the same time. As a Caproni WWI bomber is now available I may add some more B7 to the order.
ReplyDelete@insresponse - in Redemption they fire some kind of green laser at the Liberator.
The Fire was Stupid.
ReplyDeletePutting Vila on guard was suicidal.
What's the matter? staying alive too complicated for you?
