I'm doing some 15mm World War 2 Canadians for Blitzkrieg Commander, an FSA force for Dystopian Wars, 1/2400 scale World War 2 British and German fleets for Victory at Sea and a force of Brit-Cit Judges for Judge Dredd. Plus anything else that catches my eye.

As I understand it, it would indeed be illegal to sell copies of another company's Intellectual Property without their permission... so selling an exact copy of the Constitution-Class, for example, would be illlegal. Using another company's registered trademark, such as ...

Many thanks, I thought that was probably the case given the naming convention applied to the CXs! Time to start drawing up my evil plans towards the Starline 2500 CB.... :twisted:

Federation CXs

I've been reading the background on the 1st generation X-ships, and it mentions that they were converted from existing designs. I was wondering (for a modelling project), what hull were the federation's CXs based on? Was it the basic CA, the NCA, the BCH, the CB, something else, or a totally new ...

Yeah... I used to cycle through Nafferton fairly regularly!

Maybe that could be a new Tory slogan... "Get on your bike and look for a SFB game" :P

You could try drilling into the base and the plasticcy mess in the hole, then use a piece of thin brass rod (or, if you can't get that, a piece of straightened paper-clip) to hold the two together and superglue it.

Wow, that base is incredible!

Are the banners and lettering hand-painted, or are they transfers?
