You can't take the sky from me.....

   Christmas was very good to me this year. I got a big pile of games form my good friends Scott and Stephanie, including the crazy-fun Pirates vs. Dinosaurs, and the new Firefly game (from Gale Force Nine). Firefly comes with little spaceships so, of course, I couldn't resist!

   Included in the game are four Firefly ships, an Alliance cruiser, and a terrifying Reaver cutter. For the Fireflys I tried to make each of the models look like the original from the show, but also gave each one a distinct colour-coded marking so it could be easily distinguished from the others during a game.

There are 30,000+ Firefly-class ships flying the 'verse.

   The Alliance cruiser is designed to look like a block of office towers, to symbolise the cold bureaucracy of the Alliance. As such I tried to capture the look as best I could. Lots and lots of little windows.

Space cops.

   The Reavers' ships are decaying, blood-smeared horrors of weapons, blades, and leaking radiation. All round just bad news.

If you're lucky they've just eaten.

    For those who are interested I recommend this game. It plays very smoothly, and does a good job of capturing the flavour and spirit of the show. Everything from fist-fights to fancy flying, and con-jobs to contraband are wrapped up in this fun little game.

Thanks again for visiting my little corner of the 'verse!
