Custom model sites?

Are there any good websites for custom ship models other than FS sector and VolitionWatch archives? I'm looking in particular for some Terran-Shivan hybrid looking ships, both fighters and cap ships.

Unfortunately there isn't. It's the one thing the community really lacks - a big, regularly updated mod database. Erm, Terran Shivan hybrid ships huh... erm... offhandf I know there've been several reskins, and a lot of people have started things like this - I dunno if too many have been finished/released though.

I'd add more to F2S - But no one bothers to send them in ! So can't really update anything unless they make the effort.

If HLP were still up, I'd point you to the SOF Selkie, Aldo's Shivan-Terran hybrid fighter.
But why do you want Shivan-Terran hybrids?

Not really such a thing as a Terran/Shivan hybrid.
As has been stated many times before, there is no benefit to the shivans from allying with Terrans. I mean they've cleaned our clocks twice, would you ally with someone so obviously you're inferior?
Thus, it could only really be a Terran fighter developed from/using reverse engineered engineered Shivan systems.

Or what about a Terran/Vasudan ship based on a Shivan design?
Not just a reskin, mind you, I mean, something like a Vasudanized Astaroth derivative...
'twould be quite neat to see T-V ships based loosely on Shivan designs...

I just thought the Selkie had Shivna tech, not a hybrid

BW: the avatar is a shivan-terran hybrid, sorta. its subtle though...
and not for public release!
hunter: if you want, i can sometime go around and collect MODs and send em to ya to post on F2S...?
for a vasudan shivan hybrid, look into the ancients ships. they are kinda like that...
terran-shivan, though, is hard to do and not look like crap. ive tried...

Sorry Grim but F2S policy requires that the author *allow* them to be added.

What if the author in question has left the FS community and presumably doesn't care anymore?

I know a few I wouldn't mind seeing hosted here... like a few of the smaller ships from Infero.

ya... some of infernos ships...
theyre either crap or masterpeices, most of them are masterpeices. theres no midway. ie, the odin and the icanus are both awsome (if the icanus IS enormously impractically huge...) so is the solaris and that other one. er, you know... the.... thing.... dang, i cant remember what its called!
wait, warlock! thats it
