On patrol around the Workbench Nebula, it's the destroyers UNCS Samuel B Roberts and UNCS Johnston.

What mini line? It has an old-school Star Blazer look, kinda like the EDF light cruisers.

They look like Einar Gosric's work on Shapeways. No direct copies of anything that I recall, but he's got a lot of inspired-by stuff, including SBB Yamato-style stuff.

They're actually my own work, but printed by Shapeways.

I have some of EinarGosric's ships and a bunch of the old Mecha Collection model kits but I wanted something a little smaller for gameplay.

Thanks. I'm actually kind of disappointed with the blue-yellow paint scheme so I've stripped these and am redoing them; I've also got test prints of another design in the queue (waiting to be printed, why oh why, Shapeways, has your FUD lead time grown so long...)

Dissatisfied with the blue and yellow, so stripped and repainted:

Always good to see Warships on these boards, Battletech or not.
