Hello my dear Armada fans,
it’s been a while, I know, but I haven’t forgot about you. I hope it was worth waiting, as of now you can download a bunch of new stuff!
MicroHangars & GearBoxes Wave 6
Two new MicroHangars for both wave 6 ships can be found in the download section. If you don’t like to build two tiny hangars for your Hammerheads, scroll down a bit to read about the ComboHangar alternative. The hangar for the Quasar Class has an optional docking clamp, that prevents the ship from rattling in the box. Omit it, if you don’t mind this. The two new GearBoxes are standard stuff, since each Hammerhead expansion comes with two ships, I’ve already placed two of them on the print sheet. Figured it makes sense. You don’t have to build the GearBoxes for the Hammerhead if you’re using the ComboHangar instead of the MicroHangar, see below.ComboHangars
Promised long ago, I’ve finally added ComboHangars for all ships on poles (CR90, Nebulon-B, Imperial Raider and the new Hammerhead). So far only the two flotillas received such boxes, here’s the rest! The ComboHangars have more than enough room for all corresponding GearBox stuff, therefore you won’t need to build additional GearBoxes. There’s no separate download, you’ll find them within the MicroHangar files! The ComboHangars aren’t exactly the same size, I’ve measured each of them individually to give the ships a good fit and not too much room to rattle around. You have to put the ship inside the ComboHangar at a slight angle, this is on purpose and prevents rattling, too.Armada localization
If you haven’t noticed yet, there’s a new Localization section at the top, where you can find links to a growing collection of my master language files. If you like to have a localized version of my Armada stuff, I’ve added a link to the Armada excel there. Further infos to be found on the page and within the language file. Feel free to assist in translating some of my stuff. For now only the MicroHangars and GearBoxes are available for translation (preparing the files and the workflow is somewhat tedious).
That’s it, hope you like it, have fun, and remember that you can simply download the “… add” file to get only the new stuff,

Thank you so much for this…More beautiful and elegantly functional designs…I just read your latest post right now while putting together the Imperial Star Destroyer Box and hoping that you would eventually put up a similar design for the Wave six Quasar carrier and Bam!…it appears right on time..Just a few hours ago I printed what I thought was the last few of the Sir Willibald Armada accessories I needed and was lamenting the lack of Wave six…..Thanks again and keep up the great work 🙂
SirWillibald says
Nice story, glad I played a significant part in it. 🙂
And thanks for the praise, always nice to hear.
Alex says
Beautifully made. I just printed and assembled the regular microhangars and gearboxes for the hammerheads and light carrier, and they are perfectly designed. As usual. Thank you so much for your work with these.
Norman says
Hallo und danke für den neuen Inhalt… kann mich dann auch gleich an die Arbeit machen. Eine Frage noch, hast du vor für die neuen Upgradekarten die zu 2 Slots gehören bzw die 2 Slots brauchen, auch wieder Divider für die Collectors Box anzufertigen?
SirWillibald says
Klar, alles auf meiner Liste! 🙂
Andreas says
Just wanted to say thanks again for all your great work. Just started with building Armada Boxes.
Found on small issue with the S-size collectors box for Upgrade Cards:
The Lid drawings seems to be upsde down. No big deal, just wanted to let you know.
SirWillibald says
Thanks! And yes, I’m already aware of that, but the CollectorBox will get the same foamboard overhaul as the X-Wing CollectorBox, going to fix it with v2.0
Gopher Joe says
I’m having trouble with your Armada downloads… All of the pdf for the hangers are coming up with an error. Do you have any insight?
Gopher Joe says
Nevermind, tried from a different computer, and it worked. Issue must have been on my end. Thanks for everything you do. This work is really great, and so appeals to my OCD/games must be organized streak.
SirWillibald says
Glad you could figure it out, sorry for not responding earlier. And thanks for the praise! 🙂
John "Spidey" Miller says
Again, amazing work on this….the results was worth the wait. I am growing our community here at our local game store, and show off my Hangars all the time. I even use the Damage Boxes (the one that folds out as a dispenser) as welcome to the group gifts. Again Thanks Again.

SirWillibald says
Very nice to hear, always nice to see that my efforts are appreciated!
Gopher Joe says
Any thoughts on when you might be able to update the below for Armada
– V2.0 of the collector box with foamcore
– Slightly larger squadron tuckboxes to fit Corellian Conflict additions
– Slightly larger or new Objective tuckbox to fit Corellian Conflict additions
Again, thanks for everything you do. My Star Wars game collection is so much better organized thanks to you!
SirWillibald says
Thanks a lot! Yes, I know I’m a bit behind schedule at the moment because unfortunately I don’t have as much free time as I’d like to have. But those things are already on my list!
Simon says
Love your work! all the 70+ squads are hangared already. Just started with the Card Decks. Would ne lovely if You could create a version of them considering the ffg original Card sleeves!
Keep up the good work
SirWillibald says
Thanks Simon!
In fact all my boxes are measured to fit the FFG sleeves, should be no problem!?
Andrew S says
Perhaps a strange request but I’ll give it a shot – any chance of publishing DXFs of the cut lines? I happen to have access to a decently sized laser cutter and am also rather lazy so would like to just force the laser to do all the cutting for me.
SirWillibald says
Hey Andrew,
sorry, no chance at the moment, this would require another and separate workflow and I’m already having more than enough of them on my free time plate…
Samuel Ng says
hi! Have been using your boxes since armada started! Been really helpful
i couldn’t find the old wave 2 thread so I post here. Would it be possible to get an ISD microhangar that is separate from the gearbox and fitted more closely to the shape of the ISD? i felt that the ISD box takes up too much space and i would like to make thing more compact particularly if I am getting more ISDs(wave7!) haha thanks!
SirWillibald says
Hey Samuel,
thanks! To be honest, I’m not planing this at the moment, since this would mean re-designing the box quite a bit. And I’m absolutely out of time at the moment. Sorry. 🙁
Samuel says
Ok sure. Thanks for all your hard work still!! Much Appreciated 🙂
SirWillibald says
Thank you, you’re welcome! 🙂
Christian aka From-Hellscream says
Moinsen,
erst mal danke für die tolle Arbeit die du hier ablieferst, echt klasse. *Daumen hoch*
Zur Info, bei Squad “Konflict um Korellian” (de) ist bei Norra Wexley auf der Front und Rückseite noch Dutch Vander abgedruckt, top, bottom und seiten sind mit Norra bedruckt.
Ansonsten wollt ich mal nachfragen ob du schon weist wann du Welle 7 Fertig hast, Bastelarbeit geht langsam aus 😛
PS: Kombohanger 4tw! xD (Freu mich schon auf die nächsten)
Grüße Christian
SirWillibald says
Oh Mist, sorry. Wird bei nächster Gelegenheit geändert, danke!
Welle 7… *pfeif*… Schiffe liegen schon hier, noch nichtmal ausgepackt, mein Job und Familie hält mich im Moment so auf Trab. Aber kommt noch, steht ganz oben auf meiner Liste!
Und danke für das Lob! 🙂

Hi SirWillibald,
Looks like Jendon is shorter than It should. He is shorter than the generic Lambda.
The tuckbox for the ISD looks wider than It should or ISD hangar is thinner. I made two and on both was very hard to fit.
But all other were marvelous. Thank you.
