Disciplined Sub-Capitals

Disciplined Sub-Capitals From left to right: -Frigate -Monitor -Corvette -Gunship The Disciplined flavored ships are a style that says if you like your bows as sharp as your salutes. Vessels look good in high contrast heraldic colors or gunmetal grey. I looked at contemporary vertical bow/wide stern yachts with a little bit of stone-pyramid thickness. Although not described as capital or sub-capital in the A Billion Suns rules, I made the cut on 2-mass (subcap) vs 3-mass (cap). This is part of a set of ships designed for the upcoming game A Billion Suns. The book was delayed but there's a free open beta available so I figured I would go ahead and post these. These ships will fill out the rosters for that game, but there isn't any reason they can't be used for whatever. All of these were designed to print fine on a filament printer at .1mm with no supports. The bases are my roofing nail flying bases just melted into the model where it looked right to me. There are no mount holes in the model and positioning is your choice. You could mount them flying saucer style if you like that look, especially if you're using these in combination with ground troops. These ships are 1/2000 scale and vaguely follow the decks towards acceleration The Expanse design concept. All ships are designed around large reactors engines and the purpose of that ship (Guns cargo whatever). The guns reactors engines and other components are reused between some ships to give a little cohesiveness to the set/universe. I was shooting for a partially utilitarian 70s/80s sci-fi movie vibe not gothic not slick just getting it done. UPDATED: December 2020, Corvette model is now correct.
