Tugs and passenger/cargo ferries needed for beauty shot

Hey guys,

I'm currently preparinng a beauty shot of my Ship Olympic docked at Ozylot's space station in orbit of Mars. But to liven up the scene I could use a few small craft zipping around, like passenger shuttles, cargo ferries, repair drones etc etc etc. I was wondering if any of you have some models that suit the style and if you like to loan them with due credits on the fisnished pic, I'd be very very happy.

Have a look on scifi3d.com, they've got a lot of background ships.

Thanks mate! I went to take a look but they're mostly Star Trek or Star Wars stuff and I'd like to avoid ships that too clearly belong to a set franchise

some of the non-canon ships could pass for any universe.

LOL, indeed, I guess I didn't delve deep enough. I found 3 non-canon craft under S-W that are acceptably unrecognizable.
Still, my preference goes out to original work but at least I've got a backup now.

Thanks Andrew

No worries, I'll have a dig on my H/D for some B/ground stuff that I have.

You might want to look at some of the old Babylon 5 tankers/etc as well, they make great background stuff.

if you want I could probably get you a copy of the background ship I used in these pics. though its such low detail that it looks best side-on and won't hold up any closer . . .

Cool backstept! I'll gladly accept any donations in 3ds, max or obj format they can be sent to ward.vanopstal@chello.be

@Hellsgate: Yeah, I'd rather stick to orginal work from guys from this forum and 3dscifi. I think it's a nice opportunity to show of your work in a different light and that way it also stays a bit 'in the family' so to speak.
