I would like to get my hands on a couple of the old RAFM minis.
Are they close in size to the Ad Astra stuff?

Physically probably, scale wise no.

Most of the ad astra stuff is fleet scale. A plankwell is about 3/4 inch wide and 2 inches long, a Fer De Lance is may be 5mm wide and 12 mm long. Completely difference scale to the RAFM stuff.

Ad astra do a Free Trader, a pack of 2 Type S scouts and a pack if 5 pinnaces. The pinnaces are okay scalewise, the others are about twice the size of the RAFM stuff. It must be said the RAFM stuff is excellent.

Did you know that some of the regenccy TNE ships were RAFM designs and taken into the Silent death game. YOu can ask RAFM to make them as special orders as silent death ships. I managed to get several sets mid last year.

cheers
Richard

Well,I guess I am going to go with the last resort and most expensive one.
Commission someone on Shapeways to make them for me.
