Federation Commander

Very nice!
What colors / techniques did you use to paint the hulls?
I think a similar look would be nice on my Gorn miniatures.

Pretty straightforward actually. After priming, a basecoated in Citadel Boltgun Metal and then painted the red striping and the gold hanger bay decks. I then washed the ...

Just finished that batch of Battlestar Galactica minis I posted back in November. A lot of fun, and a nice change of pace. I'm hoping to paint some more of these in the next few months, including some fighters and some Cylons. For now, I thought I'd share a few pics...

Mike,

That's not a bad suggestion. Some of the basic set monster scenarios are "milk runs" that are a good way to slowly mosy through the rules and figure out how everything works. It will not cover everything, but working through those, and then doing some reading in the Tactics Manual before ...

I do love the Fed DDL+. Even more fearsome once it gets carronades.

malleman, that is a great suggestion! Never thought of that, but I can see why it would work. Cool! Learned something new today!

Some times I find myself priming a mini twice. No matter how hard I try, I frequently don't spot every inperfection on the first run. But, I've found the first layer of ...

Thanks guys. No real progress on these guys late...working on other things. Hopefully, I can get the Module E3 project rolling and out of the way and get back to more enjoyable mini painting!

We are starting to see PFs in serious numbers in our campiagn. If you can get them into range, they can seriously boost the firepower of a fleet. I tend to prefer the direct fire-heavy models (Lyran Bobcat, Tholian, Klingon G1B, Vudar) or the plasma boats (the Gorn PF is awesome) over the drone ...

As for the minis, I'm hoping to get back to painting in a couple weeks. Main effort right now is getting work done on SFB Module E3. Hopefully, I can knock that out and get back to painting soon. My next SFB project will be the Vudar...so many minis, so little time.

Not much progress on minis lately (parent's been visiting here in Germany for the last two weeks), but I have started working on a game mechanism for those BSG minis. I've settled on an adaption of Axis and Allies War at Sea. Plays fast and handles huge numbers of fighters, so it works pretty well ...

If she's using a Fed CA with overloads...it might end quicker!

Rick,

Mixture of sources. Iron Wind Medals, Hanger 18, Ravenstar Studios, Studio Bergstrom, Shapeways - Irrational Designs. Many of the Ravenstar minis are now out of print, but others are still out there to be had.

So whose gonna paint the 50K Cylon fighters you'll need to destroy those in battle?

Just you wait...those are coming.

Not SFB/FC minis, but thought you all might find my current project interesting...





Basecoats only at this point...still a lot of work to do.

Agreed. A very nice touch.

Yeah, the B5W photos got re-numbered thanks to the wonders of Microsoft when I updated the webpage. Fixing it would be something akin to a root-canal. All those B5W ships, properly labeled, are here:
