Howdy all.
Over the past few weeks I've been busy creating a set of silhouettes of the various craft in the WC universe, ala the ships in the WC2 guide. My intent in doing so was to use these silhouettes to create sets of "generic" wargame counters that could be used in any p-n-p Wing Commander project (such as TacOps or the Wing Commander Role-Playing Game I'm currently developing). I'm just about finished with the creation of the silhouettes at this point (I'm missing the fighters from WC Arena; to my knowledge that's all) and would like to go ahead and share the silhouettes with the community.
I did have one nice, big .zip file ready to go, but it turns out the file's too big, so I'll release the silhouettes over a series of posts to this thread. That way y'all will get a chance to preview them for yourselves. The silhouettes are of varying quality as well, with the final quality largely dependent upon the original source material. Some of them (such as the WC1 craft) turned out very well, IMHO. Others didn't fare so well (the Kor'larh is particularly gawd-awful) but should still be useable when the silhouettes are shrunken down to their final counter sizes.
I am still working on the counters themselves; I'm still in the process of doing a "trial run" for a different counter set which is nearing completion. I'll post the counter sets up here as they become available. If anyone has suggestions for a set they'd like to see/use, let me know. Meantime, I'll start putting up the silhouettes.
