Subject: Organic Space ships

Does anyone know any companies that make organic looking space ships? I've
seen the GZG ones and some GW ones and they're just not what I'm looking for.

Thanks,

Just use a Zuccini or a banana. No one can dispute the authenticity or
accuracy of said model and they come prepainted.

I still like the Vorlon and Shadow Fleet Action ships.

AOG, according to their home page, is out of business as of Nov 1 2002.
They have re-opened as Mongoose publishing.  They are offering most of
the same B5 product line.

Add the Minbari to the organic tech ships, at least the White Star
class.  I use Minbari ships as a fusion of organic and non-organic tech.

My 2 cents.

AOG did close on that date, but Bruce Graw, formerly of AOG personally bought
back a lot of stock from distributors and is selling it out of the old AOG web
store since it was already up and running, so you can get minis from there.

Bruce is also working for Mongoose Publishing (casting minis and writing
books) but they are not a 're-opened AOG' as they were around before AOG
closed plus they are UK based. Mongoose is selling B5 ship minis made from the
old AOG masters but they will be selling the larger B5 Wars scale ships and
then Fleet Action scale fighters only. The have no plans to reproduce the
smaller Fleet Action scale ships (so you have to buy them from Bruce or ebay)

Thanks, it was no problem getting that list together. I had done a poll on my
website about bioships so I pulled the list from there then it took a few
minutes of web surfing to get the links.

Nice ships that could be classified Techno-Organic along with the
Minbari.

I still have plans to make some bioship miniatures someday using the squishy
plastic used in worms for fishing. Someday when I find the time......
