May I see photos of your fleets please

Small point as I posted most of my recent pics on this thread, but the pics I uploaded to the gallery have now been loaded.

There are some excellent pics on this thread that aren't on the Gallery, any chance the owners could upload them to the gallery??

I know if I get interested in a new rules set one of the first thing I look for is some painted miniatures pictures to get me inspired. I think the more pictures we can get in there, the more newbies will drop into the website, take a look and get hooked. It all helps..

Hmm, i "would" post my narn fleet, apart from the fact, that many stems have snapped, most of the ships can't be used now?!

Hiff,

you can rebuild those stems, using metal tubing, green putty, a hack saw, a file, a pin vice drill, and a small Aubergine :lol:

Prelude, how'd you get that mottled pattern on the Omega-X? :shock:
The Omega-X was base coated with a glossy black. Then with a dark grey paint and very small brush I hand painted the grey lines. Tedious to be sure, especially when it comes to the spikes.

Got to have the opposition of course. Again old models, quite pleased with the paint job on these.

Vorchans this time.

gorgeous paint scheme there Cap'n K :D

How did you do the gold? Always the trickiest part...

BTW your Primus fins are on backwards....

already planning it, just waiting for ID to get the metal rods. . . but a small aubergine?!?!
Mind you, i got metal bases and stems with my two new ka'Tocs yesterday, shiny....
 
Thanks guys for letting me know the Primus fins are on backwards. I prefer to think that my Primus are merely a superior variant with go faster fins....

Gold on the Centauri, these were painted a while ago, but I just used ordinary acryllic colours, copper I think rather than bronze or gold, it's redder than gold and much brighter than bronze...

The new ones I have just painted I used a Bronze base and then dry brushed a mixture of silver and bronze. Actually I think the ones in the pictures which I did a few years ago with the copper looked better.

I don't find centauri difficult to paint. Now Minbari and Shadows are tricky, and I have never attempted Vorlons yet.....

LOL nice reasoning!
It took me until my second Balvarin to realise my first one had been assembled using centurion fins cos Mongoose sent the wrong ones! :(


Painting purple is easy but I'm always on the lookout for an easier way to paint gold. I use GW burnished and shining, have gold painted Dark Elves, Thousand Sons and Centauri but still never quite happy...

I already pointed out the backwards fins once. I actually like it like that, and if I hadn't built both my Primus cruisers I'd do one with all the fins on backwards...

and we wonder why the Republic has lost its way...... :lol:
 
Lord David the Denied said:
Ah well, that's not so bad, then. At least I don't have one of those Drakh critters attached to my neck...


yet....

you will once you're emperor!

personally I'd be more worried about having to wear creamy-white. Imagine spending your days looking like a meringue.....
