I spend my free time (ha!) working on the Victory by Any Means (victorybyanymeans.com) and creating spaceships for 3d printing (https://cults3d.com/en/users/tyrellohr/)
Speaking of the Abbai fleet, here's a pic showing a selection of different Abbai ships together, as I've rebuilt them in my own style. The Shyarie and Kotha are the most recognizable from the original source material, and the Kastona is pretty close, too.

Here's some shots of my version of the Abbai Lakara (last image) and three shots of the Abbai Nakarsa Command Cruiser (a heavier armed Lakara variant). These give you an idea of how I approached redesigning this ship to get it to fit into the Abbai fleet a bit better.

For the VBAM books, I did this quick Aam escort frigate so I can use it for some of the internal and cover art for that book. The Aam ships have hexagonal ship bodies and engine thrusters, but then have these spike things (heat radiators, maybe?) festooned across their ships.

I've also done the Cascor Calaq Assault Fighter. This one was interesting because of its odd weapons loadout. I ended up putting the main fighter gun recessed into the nose of the fighter, and the larger ion bolter slung underneath it.

As I was finishing up the Medium Gunboat, I decided the forward section might look interesting if it was stretched out a bit and made into its own vessel. And thus the BA Monitor was born!

I also worked on a rendition of the Belt Alliance Medium Gunboat, also from Babylon 5 Wars. Another case of starting with the top-down silhouette and trying to figure out where all of the different design elements (weapons, thrusters, etc.) should go, and try to tie it into the EA/BA fleet.

I also finished up my version of the Cascor Norsca Battlecruiser from Babylon 5 Wars, based on the original silhouette from the SCS rather than the art and miniature they ended up producing for the ship later. I think this turned out okay, but we'll see what may still need to be tweaked.

On the VBAM front, I've been working on the map and system data/descriptions for Uncharted Territories, readapting the map I had started before to a vertical rather than horizontal orientation. Making some progress there, and I'll be working off and on this week to try and finish this up.

You don't converse with fascists. You defeat them or are defeated by them. That is a reality you seem to want to ignore but it remains reality.

I can see where trying to get that image to print with the desired contrast could be a big problem. I had a piece of art I tried to get a canvas print of and the result was a washed out mess for similar reasons :(

But it is a very pretty drawing! ❤️

Ah, yes, the Belgians -- well known as the inveterate pranksters of Europe! 😆

Some of the FASA ship images are a bit off model, which doesn't help. I was wondering why my Vas'Hatham looked a bit strange and then I realized I'd done mine based on the FASA art instead of the actual ship... and they didn't quite match! So, I ended up remodeling it so it would be a bit closer.

The hex tiles look great, for what it's worth! And the clean, clear iconography on the map tiles make them pretty easy to read.

Work also started on the Cascor Norsa Battlecruiser, mainly blocking out elements where they should go on the hull, and getting the basic size/shape I wanted based on the top down silhouette of the original ship (as opposed to the miniature they did later that bore little to no resemblance!).
