TWO Star Wars Fleets!


STAR WARS IMPERIAL & REBEL SQUADRONS
FOR SALE

- 26 ships, SIX squadrons of 1:10,000 ships in resin by Odyssey Slipways, 
- 90 metal fighters and the Millenium Falcon [Studio Bergstrom] and a Tantive IV [Odyssey Slipways] in 1:2250

The Odyssey Shipways ships are Out of Print and unavailable. They are presently being listed for $20 each in the usual spots.

First batch: Odyssey Slipways fleet ships in 1:10,000 scale

These are lovely scale ships, cast in resin. Very clean, easy to work with. No regrets with them as ships, I'm only selling them because my eyesight and time are more limited now, so I'm not going to finish this project. Heartbraking, as I really like them. Ah well...

At this scale, the big ships are in the 2-3” range. The small ones like the Corellian gunships are about ¾” as they are not deep space ships, just a small ship with a big gun.

Odyssey Slipways 1:10,000 scale capital ships for sale

many of these ships fought for both sides in the wars, but generally the Imperial star destroyers were Imperial, the dreadnoughts fought for both sides, and the rest was mostly Rebel.


List #, quantity of ships, type

1.           3 x Nebulon B [one painted, two cleaned / assembled / primed]

2.           2 x Nebulon B2

3.           3 x Lancer Frigate

4.           4 x Corellion Gunships

5.           4 x Carrier Corvette

6.           1 x Imperial Escort Carriers

7.           2 x Carrack Cruisers

8.           1 x Assault Frigate A

9.           1 x Assault Frigate B

10.        1 x Imperial Enforcer

11.        1 x Imperial Interdictor

12.        1 x Flurry, Rebel Starfighter Carrier

13.        1 x Old Republic Heavy Cruiser

14.        1 x [Old Republic] Dreadnought

26 Capital ships 

Larger capital ships, around 3", Interdictor 2.5", Imperial Escort Carrier 2". 

Just right for a modest table space, depending on your rule set.

Second batch are 1:2250, or 4x the scale of the 1:10,000
so in other words they are four times as big as they would be in 1:10,000. This is good, because at 1:10,000 starfighters are almost invisible! All games exaggerate the size of the fighters in relationship to the ships, it's just necessary.

Anyway, these squadrons are from Studio Bergstrom, which is HERE. Altogether there are 44 starfighters and 1 VERY FAMOUS tramp freighter! Why 44? In an obsessive moment, I watched the battle scenes from Episodes IV and VI and counted the actual ships doing the attack runs, and that's what I came up with...

REBEL FIGHTERS

1.           1 x Millenium Falcon [cleaned and black-primed]

2.           15 x X-wing [cleaned and white-primed]

3.           11 x Y-wing [cleaned and white-primed]

4.           6 x B-wing [mint metal]

5.           12 x A-wing [mint metal]

44 fighters and Millenium Falcon

 

IMPERIAL FIGHTERS

For the opposing Imperials, shown HERE, I ended up with a nice batch of ships, including plenty of cannon fodder for the Rebels to shoot to pieces, AKA 24 TIE fighters!

1.           24 x classic TIE fighters ["eyeballs"] [cleaned and grey-primed]

2.           7 x TIE bombers ["dupes"]

3.           6 x TIE advanced X1 [aka Darth Vader's fighter]

4.           6 x TIE interceptors ["squints"]

5.           2 x TIE experimental air superiority [sk x1?]

51 TIE types 

 

From Odyssey Slipways in matching 1:2250 scale for the figthters [above]

1.           1 x Tantive IV

2.           2 x 9 ARC starfighters

 

HERE = $225, includes postage to lower 48!


Bunch of pics are below!

All these are Resin except for the metal Millennium Falcon below.

All the Odyssey Shipways are resin, and those below have been carefully cleaned and black / grey primed. Those in bags with the creme color are mint resin.



Lovely little metal 1:2250 Studio Bergstrom fighters. The creme in the bag are resin Odyssey Shipways. The white Rebel fighters are cleaned and primed white.
