I don't know what Howard's methodology for scaling the ships was. His last thread is still on the front page of this board. He modeled the Broadsword here.
 
Hey Rap,
if you like those fighter models, they are from Klavs81 - here is the forum link and here Hangar B productions. Hi also did an AWESOME jobs on all those models - I think especially the fighters of WC1 will look great in a bigger scale like 1/72 :-)
Big shoutout to Klavs81 and Howard :)

also here you can find Klavs81 updated Concordia - still the original design but a bit pimped up :)

if you like simple models or would liket to go for smaller models, Tyrellohr on Cults might be an alternative pick: Terran & Kilrathi ships are available. For free and some for some bucks
 
I know I need to organize them, but a thread about 3D-printed Wing Commander and now mentioning Klavs *rip* deserves these making a reappearance. Some will need reprinting in the future, especially those that got damaged in the moves:

And yes, I did print up some of Klav'sCap Ship's too.
 
Great collection.
Am I right in thinking there’s no consistent scale for your models?
They all look nice and big and remind me of my 1:72 MD F-18 Hornet.
Did you only use freely available model files?

I did my best to scale them around 1:72 or 1:48 (it's been a while and I have to measure them again), though some definitely came out smaller (especially the large Kilrathi fighters, which are consistently huge). As for sourcing, the Klavs designs are based on the model packs he released years ago, and I later reformatted them for printing. I never released them back then because he asked me not to, as he still sold several of them on Hangar B. Since his passing, I have debated releasing the STLs but haven't, out of respect for our friend. A handful are from Thingiverse, but the Prophecy Models are from the enhancement project that I then converted to STL (with permission). The same for the Banshee, which I requested from the designer.
 
Your collection already looks pretty good!
When comparing the sizes of the universes, do you mainly rely on the official specifications from the manuals?
I primarily base my scaling on the cockpit and the pilot’s height.

I printed the CF-117 Rapier from Hangar B Productions on Sketchfab at about 1/72 scale, but I haven’t quite finished it yet.

Since I haven’t heard back from “Howard Day” about his Claw models yet and don’t want to compete with “Laughing Man,” my next big project will be the Concordia.
I’m currently planning to build it at the classic military ship scale of 1:700.
Sure, the Concordia will be a relatively large model, but sometimes the journey is the destination.
