I just got into Star Wars Armada, a game that was discontinued last year. Finding models has been hard lol

Man, I feel you. Those Venators are rare. But no way I'm paying 200 bucks for a plastic spaceship.

Money-saving hint: rocks also take acrylic paint well.

I keep looking for Venator-shaped rocks, but no luck so far.

There are a few people selling resin prints of ships on Etsy. They are of varying quality, but this one seems to be the best quality.

But I get it, it's just not the same as the real thing lol

I've seen those. Shipping to Europe is often an issue (or at least expensive) and tbh, having prepainted, reassembled ships was a major factor to get into that game in particular. Also, those usually come without the additional stuff, so you need to buy a base and shield dials as well as some cards that might be missing from your collection otherwise (and which usually synergise well with the ships they came with). In the end you end up paying more for a ripoff than for the real thing when they were still sold. :(
