    Star Wars spaceship models?

    Is there a company producing Star Wars spaceship models that one could use with rulesets like Full Thrust or BFG? I'm talking about models that are more or less in scale to each other, and I'd prefer them in metal or resin. So the micromachine models are out, for example.

    Short answer, No.

    Long answer: Noooooooooooooooo.

    There are some companies doing miniatures for the larger ships that almost look like some of the ships from Star Wars.
    Brigade minis, for example (they have a ship that look like Republic Venator star destroyer)

    I've managed to pick up small fighters that heavily resemble Babylon5 Star Furies (5-6mm across), Colonial Vipers (Battlestar Galactica) both old and new, and Raptors and cylon raiders from some other company (they were in a bag of stuff)
    Pretty much no-one does capital ships and fighters in the same scale (it's not practical. On a 4" carrier, a fighter is going to be maybe 3-4mm (and a 4" carrier model is a rarity outside of Firestorm armada).

    Exactly in scale? Well, then the Star Destroyers would be one tenth as long as the Executor, so some models would be enormous or others would be tiny. However, the Starship Battles miniatures have a nice approximation of scale where ships are sized according to their ...I guess "weight class." Small capitol ships are about the size of a BFG cruiser while dreadnoughts are a couple of inches longer and have larger bases.

    The fighters are in scale to each other (roughly), but much to big to be in scale with the cap ships.

    Fantasy Flight Games is coming out with a CMG Star Wars game for spaceship battles. Think it is slated for release around Gencon but I could be wrong.

    I don't think "CMG" is quite the right term; there's no random packaging element that I can see, and no artificial scarcity to make you spend $100 on a second-hand model.

    Ground Zero Games have a couple of fighters in their new NAC fleet which are "not" X-Wings and Y-Wings, in the teeny-tiny size like BFG ordnance models.
