This tiny and simple printable papercraft model allows you to create your fleet of space freighters with a feel of the popular scifi series. I didn't plan the model for public download - sorry if there are any inaccuracies, I tried to clean up the sheet a bit.
As part of my Babylon 5 scratchbuilding project, I of course made some Centauri ships too. On this page I'll show you construction phases of these ships. As prime material, I've used 1mm cardboard.
Earth alliance ships from Babylon 5 -series, scratchbuilt mainly from balsa wood, cardboard & wire. See WIP pages for Omega destroyers and Hyperion cruisers.
Fighters are made from printed paper glued on round cardboard discs.
As a great Babylon 5 Fan, I've been building an amount of Babylon 5 ships in order to use them in roleplaying games and miniature games. As freighters have an essential part in e2o game, I just had to create some freighters too. These pics show you how I've created 5 Asimov -class freighters, one of which was turned into a Psi Corps freighter.
Base cardboard structures of Sharlins are ready. On the left there are several starts of shadow ships. Currently I've finished only one shadow ship (in it's own post).
Remember the opening scene of Babylon 5 (not the pilot, the actual series), where Narn fleet attacks a Centauri space station in Ragesh III I was sold the moment I saw that, as it made an immediate connection to my favourite PC game intro - Master of Orion 2.
