Starlink Ships

Serendipity.  At a local dollar store, I found a shelf full of starter sets for a 2018 XBox One game called "Starlink: Battle for Atlas." While I have no interest in the game, the sets came with little plastic ships (the "Zenith" model) that are basically 28mm scale. I picked up several boxes.

The ships are modular, too, which is fantastic. For miniature gaming purposes, it allows easy customization of the ships for whatever role they're meant to represent. To the left, you can see a ship with wings but without weapons. You can see some other configurations I've put together in the picture at the bottom of the post. They look surprisingly good.

The ship is a little over six inches long, about seven inches wide (with a pair of wings and weapons), and two and a half inches tall to the top of the orange circle thing.

For as cheap as they are, these are fantastic. Maybe at some point I'll paint one, but for now, they're good to go as terrain right out of the box. The modular weapons look good even when they're not attached to the ships. The three-barreled cannon and blue missile launcher, especially, could be turrets or other weapons emplacements.
