Minbari Fleet

[combatdroid113]

So this is my completed fleet. Love to hear some comments and questions.

Very nice!

 

[prelude_to_war]

Very impressive. Only thing is the Nial fighters are facing the wrong direction. Great paint job and love those bases.

Eh? which one what way should they be facing?

 

[prelude_to_war]

Here's a Nial firing its weapons.

 

[combatdroid113]

oh thats easy fixed - ill turn em around next time

 

[animus]

I think your flyers are backwards too - big side forward.

 

[combatdroid113]

other than the way they are positioned how do we think of the painting?

 

[mbtanker]

Very nice. Yes just turn the fighter bases around. Oh you also got the rear fins wrong on the Sharlins. They are backwards as well. They are the opposite of the smaller fins and point forward. Don't feel bad half the Mongoose Minbari photos have errors on the ships. What colors did you use?

 

[JayRaider]

Great work on the Sharlins in particular

 

[combatdroid113]

yeah its hard when you havent watched the whole series and your reference books are SFOS and Armageddon

Colours i used are Vallejo Game Colour range

base: Imperial Blue
Ink: mix 80/20 Blue Ink and Black Green
Highlight: mix first a 80/20 then a 50/50 followed by a 30/70 Imperial Blue and Magic blue

Well very nice. Great job. Minbari ships are cute, man.

And the nials are not facing in the wrong direction, they are just returning to their bays from an exploration.

 

[Locutus9956]

either that or your entire fighter wing is under Drakh infuence.....

And yes its an easy mistake to make, Minbari ships and epsecially aux craft are not exactly traditional in design terms

Still nice paint jobs

Nice paintpb Combat Droid. I just finished watching series 1 and the 2nd Movie about the Earth-Minbari war and I want to collect them now too.

Maybe when I finish my EA & Centauri :wink:

 

[Greg Smith]

Wow. They look great. You've done a whole Centauri fleet and a Minbari fleet. You must be a painting demon. :lol:
