I've been rummaging through some old storage media again and turned up more starship images from way back around 2010-2011. This particular lot are the Studio Bergstrom Auran Dominate minis, which were done up for him to use as catalog photos. They're not my best work (go figure, they're at least 15 years old) but I figure a gallery of them would still be helpful for the curious by providing multi-angle views for everything and some extra group shots.
There are a total of ten ship classes ranging from the 1.5" long frigate to the massive 5.75" superdreadnought, some of which could be converted by swapping around wing sections and all of which can be extensively customized by changing around what small weapon mounts you add on (or leave off).
As you can see, they take up quite a big footprint on the tabletop, enough to make photographing them all at once a bit of a challenge.
As you can see, the side wings add considerably to that footprint, but the sculpts also have a good degree of verticality.
If memory serves, the smaller bases were the common Games Workshop 32mm rounds, while the bigger ones are all 60mm aside from the big metal hex base for the superdreadnought. All the flight posts are
finishing nails for added strength, although the little guys don't really need it.
The frigate here is my favorite sculpt out of the lot, owing to the way it combines all the signature design elements of the range while being a very practical size to game with. I believe it's a single-piece model other than a couple of optional weapons under the wings, and like all Drew's work was extremely well-cast and needed zero prep beyond basing.
The destroyer is a no-frills design, about 2" long and a single piece casting aside from the four weapon mounts added near the tip of each forward prong. Only design that doesn't have side wings or any place to mount them.
The heavy destroyer is essentially the same figure, but with slots for mounting a pair of small side wings that include further optional weapon mounting points.
The light cruiser is the smallest ship to use the 3" long medium-sized hull, and while it has slots for mounting side wings it doesn't come with any. You could fill them in with putty easily enough if the gap bothers you.
The just-plain-cruiser uses the same medium hull and adds a pair of small wings.
The heavy cruiser is much the same, but add a pair of larger wings with room for four weapon mounts each (two top, two bottom).
The battlecruiser shares its larger 4.125" main body and bigger "six gun" wings with the battleship design, but I've only used four weapon mounts one each wing here to differentiate between them further.
The only difference between the battleship here and the battlecruiser is how you choose to add weapon mounts to its plethora on optional hardpoints.
The superdreadnought here is composed of a mere four main pieces, all with the same sturdy slot-and-tab connections the rest of the range uses. Even at 5.75" long, 4.25" wide, and about 2.80" high, she's sturdy as can be, with the most likely danger point being careless handling putting too much pressure on a the little add-on guns who just aren't socketed as deep. Much like its tiny frigate cousin this is one of may favorite designs, even if it's a bit of a pig to store and transport.
Finally we have the carrier, another personal favorite. Three main pieces, and at 3" long, 2.5" wide, and 3.25" high, she's the only class that's actually taller than she is long, so she stands out from fleet for more than just her size.
Sadly, I don't have (and have never even handled) any of the Auran fighters, so I'll have to resort to cribbing the render from Drew's store page.
If I had these to do all over again I'd probably try a different color scheme (I was deep in an "orange period" when they were originally done, as you might notice from looking at the ORCDef figs I also did for Drew), or at least a style that makes the shape of the minis pop better. I might also use different weapon mounts for them, as there are a slew of other ones for sale at Studio Bergstrom that weren't available back then, all of which are compatible with the little sockets on the Aurans. I'd also putty in all the unused sockets and maybe the empty slots on the light cruiser, but for catalog shots you want to avoid undue alterations to a figure that might lead to unhappy customers.
