Federation Commander

thanks for the words of encouragement, sorry i haven't been back here in awhile, but I will update them soon..

I love this thread..

the DDF Would be awesome in Fedcom..

as to an earlier discussion..

I can see why (if you note the "Star trek" Universe..)

how the blue engines nacells can be linked to X-energy technology..

it makes sense..for the SFU like in the SFU Blue energy color is indicative of the X-tech warp signature ...

I love that metallic red paint!! it is just awesome!! now did you do the hexes on the ships with ink?

Amazing!! classic feel to the Klingon color schemes!! nice work!!

I may be playing the Klingons as my 2nd fleet!

Now this is a fine gallery of painted ships!! awesome work guys! I shall add mine once they are completed.. and maybe a few one at a time here and there..

but anyhow.. wow! I have a long way to go to catch up to the rest of you!

the link to the ships done on starship modeler is awesome!!


I did ...

Wow!! now this is fantastic!! look how huge that ship is!! OMG!!!!!!!

great paint job, awesome pics!! I love this new thread!!

you know I find that the thinner the layers the better the paint job looks on the mini..


that is why I use Vallejo..

they are thinner and easier to work with then citadel, testors, and any other paint I have worked with..

even Tamiya believe it or not..

though I do swear by Tamiya clear coats ...

that is good to hear..

so if I may ask, what is your color formula??


also what is the deal with the blue nacels?? is that the X-tech color of choice??

I suppose it is just up to the modeler.. but I feel like the off whitish grey is the best color scheme for the ships..

the other worry is that the decals I ordered would not show up as brilliant and brightly contrasted if I go with anything then what the box says..


which is "titanium White"

Okay so I reread the back of the box set for the federation Squadron box #1

I must confess.. (the quality of the casting on the set I bought is less then perfect.. and a pain to work with..I was really bummed out.)

after extensive work..


I was going to paint my ships..

I primer-ed the 0233 ...

that was a cool walk through! wOW!

I may be alone.. but the whole Miniature painting and assembly thing is just really really fun..

at times it can be tedious and painful.. but overall I really and truly enjoy doing it..

I think that the process for the miniature productions is very interesting ...

what are the races in the magellenic cloud?

To expand on Scoutdad's answer, the Lesser Magellanic Cloud is (at least prior to the Andromedan conquest) divided into three large empires and several smaller factions.

The 'big three' are the Baduvai (1200kg beaked quadrupeds) Eneen (lemur-like ...

excellent work..

I love your Andro and the Klingons colors.. very menacing.

I will be working on my Federation Enterprise ship on Monday, so that will be fun..

I spent the last couple of days sculpting off excess pewter, using as much sand paper I can to sand off the putty I put in spots to ...

I'm wondering..


How hard and what type of measurements could we give to have an "entire" saucer section done in One decal..

that is to say all horizontal detail decals are in their proper positions..

both top and bottom..

then all you need do is line up the center of the "dash" in the One ...
