I also grabbed the top deck plans from Of Ships And The Sea for some of the groundling ships
    That is a fantastic body of work.

    Would you be willing to have your cartography published by Wildspace: The Spelljammer Fanzine, so that more fans could enjoy it? You would get a credit, of course (you will have to say how you want to be credited) and you can have a link to your website or blog if you have one where you post your work.

    Ok, i did it. I printed big maps for miniatures - just the Hammership for now - but it will be very usefull for our space explorations.

    Thanks for your great work !!!

    good to know that works most of them should be high enough resolution though some of them are reduced due to size...have the originals if needed

    Thanks so much for this, we just started 2e spelljammer I could use a lot of these deck plans, this is super helpful. Do you have any advice for printing these to scale for 30mm minis? (the 1x1 inch grid) The "best" software I have access to might be GIMP or some other sort of open source software. And would you recommend getting a 1x1 transparency as a grid to put on top of the print?

    Would you be willing to do a customization of one or more of these designs as we have a couple mods - for example I had the base hammership, but wanted them to give it a bit of a lion's motiff instead of a hammerhead shark, so the design would be slightly different at the fore and aft section. And my friend got his built in the style of the airships of Halrua (forgotten realms), complete with giant turtle shell adornments.
