The Federation fleet that will be taking on the Klingons at next Sundays meeting of Battlegroup London. Decals arrived after what seemed like an interminable wait, and I finally settled upon a look for them that I liked...

Thanks. The decals are from Starfighter Decals. _________________ "Lotta ins, lotta outs, lotta what-have-yous" - Jeff 'The Dude' Lebowski. |

Very nicely done. Quite an interesting choice of fleet mix too, not the usual TV or Tech Manual ships. _________________

Thanks! As for the fleet mix, I didn't really go into the whys and wherefores of what ship would complement another. They were just the ones I'd finished in time for the meet of BG London next week _________________ "Lotta ins, lotta outs, lotta what-have-yous" - Jeff 'The Dude' Lebowski. |

Ah. I have the same problem. I've been using nothing but 2 BC's, 1 CA, 2 CS's, 2 CL's, 1 DDF, 2 FFB's, 5 FF's, and 2 Pol's, for well over a year now. That is the first batch of Feds I at least finished detail painting on (most still don't have decal work done). I have a *lot* more, but they are all in various stages of assembly, prime, or basecoat only. _________________

I have a similar problem. I've got some of my Feds decaled, but a good number are just painted:

Problem is a good decal job on a Fed takes time, something I'm always short of. |

I'm getting faster, but yes, it does indeed take a good chunk of time (and a magnifying glass). _________________

That's only if you don't want to kill your eyes.
Hand cramps are my problem mostly. Though I've got an astigmatism now too... _________________ O.G. OPTIMUS

My eyesight was already shot the first time I started messing with these minis (mid-1980's), when I was a teen. Now... I can't see any flaws, so it's all good... _________________
