Federation Commander

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...

Very nicely done.

Very nice indeed. Who did the decals?

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

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).

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... Cool
