EA paint schemes: suggestions?

why not use an airbrush, you could like a blue and black camo scheme.

Bani,

what bases are those for you ships? Im relatively new and the standard ones seem to be falling off all the mini's Im getting and dont look as sturdy.

:shock:

The bases I use are just a mix of mongoose supplied, and gw bases. Nothing special. The best thing to do for the the bigger, heavier ships, is to do away with the narrower tip on a plastic base, and drill the hole in the mini (Which, lets face it, you are probably going to have to do anyway) big enough to accept the main stem of the base. This makes the base a lot less likely to snap.

Definitely the way to go. I even drill a hole for the larger "main" stem on all of my ships, including some delicate work on Blue Stars to get the stem to fit!

Drilling the hole yourself also allows you to repostion it so that it's always at the centre of mass and makes the miniature much more stable - therefore less likely to damage the base and less likely to get knocked over on the table.

Thanks for the advice everyone, I think I'm going to paint all the ships in a drybrushed grey colour and then use red or blue in different areas.
