3. use a 5-0 brush and paint the windows with white watercolor paint; it was NOT perfect because some paint spills out of ...

Thanks! It is the same Tamiya Mica Red Acrylic Spray (red ships) and Tamiya Red Brown Acrylic Spray (brown ships) on all my 2400 and 2500 Kzinti.

The change in appearance would probably be from two reasons:
1. the black background
2. these new shots were done outside in late afternoon sunlight; the ...

Lego Kzinti

I finally made a Lego Kzinti ship with my son's real Lego's. It has the rough proportions of a war destroyer.

I am not sure what we are playing yet, we probably won't decide until it gets closer. We play Fed Commander about 50% of the time recently.

On January 18 we will probably be playing one or more of the ...

I am surprised it was one of the worst selling modules, it had some really nice ships.

I bought reinforcements attack and all three boosters the first time I saw them in my local hobby store. I liked the selection of ships, especially Klingon F6B, Romulan K7R, Kzinti destroyer, Hydran D7H, Lyran ...

The day varies each month depending on our schedules and table availability. We are still working out the January date and should have it locked down in the next week or so.
