1. How do you create these pictures??

I talk about it a bit on my web site, http://galileo.spaceports.com/~william/main.htm but basically I map out my image, adding, subtracting items and things until I have what I hope is the best looking copy of the image I am working on. I think spend time adding details and other aspects. Since I did not have a large ship library to go on, I had to employ some creative license with several of the ships, carriers, transports, fighters, etc.


2. Did you know that Starblazers has a nice looking tactical game (ala Star Fleet Battles), a Technical Manual with descriptions of most of the ships from the 3 races with pictures (ala Battletech) and miniatures: http://members.aol.com/neghvar2/index.htm

I did not know this, and thank you for posting the link. This is great info.

3. constructive critizism: the fighters fit the look of the rest of the shipset, but not so much the Starblazers look. The troops are way off. At the risk of of sounding ungrateful, is there any chance you could change them?

Thank you, I too hate the troops for this set, but had nothing to go on so I used what I had. I would love to change them. As for the fighters, all I really need is a good image or two of alternate fighters.

As odd as it might be, I'd be willing to send you a copy of the technical manual that I have so you can see the tanks, ships, etc. I'd concider it a payment for services of making this awesome shipset, and hope that it might spur you to tweak this (my new favorite) shipset.

Thank you for the offer, but if you can just scan the images or take a digital picture of them, and send that or tell me where, if not at the above listed web site, where I can get a copy I will buy my own.

I would love to make other sets for this series. I have loved the show since I was a kid, and even though it is kinda corny now, I still enjoy it a lot.
