ERIC EDEN'S GK-10 SALVAGE CRAFT: A GAMING MINIATURE BY RAVENSTAR

Last September I posted these pics of my painted SALVAGE SHIP [in my own custom box], which had been kindly donated by reader Velbor. Mine was a pre-production sample. The ship is based on Eric Eden's fabulous GK-10 original design from the 1960's Fireball XL5 strip in TV21, below.
SPACEX fans will know that the design also surfaced as part of that toy range as well [the basis of my own model's colour scheme] pictured below.

Since last September Velbor has been working with US gaming miniatures studio RAVENSTAR to create a whole range of small-scale craft including the finished version of the Salvage Ship and a cool Fireball XL5 as pictured below. All are for sale.

 Visit RAVENSTAR here. You can read more about the Salvage Ship generally on the blog on this thread.

I would like to thank readers Grif and Nyrath the Nearly Wise for help with this feature.

Toad the completely and utterly unwise thanks Grif, Nyrath and Woodsy for this feature, during the making of which, no alien invasion hordes came to harm.

Among those miniatures I see the AMT Intergalactic UFO as well as the Starbird. That's cool.
