That old set is just plain ugly. I do not mean to offend whomever created it, but my god that set is ugly. I did use some of his info to set up the new race though.

Please keep in mind that because of the narrow size and long length it was rather hard to get the Minis to show up as well as I would have liked. They still look good though, and I am very happy with the set.

Earth Defenese Force - Starblazers

I really do hope people enjoy this set.

Well its over a 100 downloads now. Not bad. If I sold my sets, combined, I'd have enough money by now to buy 3d Studio Max.

Sweet set, man. I think those may be the sharpest more desirable set Space Empires ships I have ever seen.

Though, in a terribly unimportant way that does not smudge how well the ships and fighters and everything look, I have some trouble telling the Small from Medium Weapons Platforms. It is possible there is some detail that I simply didn't notice, but I thought I let you know what I thought.

Finally! I've been looking forward to this...

SWEEEEEEEEEEEET!!!!

Also, escort and frigate mini images are too big, IMHO. There should be more transition to bigger ships.

This set is fantastic PCP. I like it a lot, by far some of your best work. I think the ships all look well sized, given they are all basically cigar shaped.

Are you going to make any other SB sets?

That is an AWESOME shipset.

1. How do you create these pictures??

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

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?

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
