Those webs look pretty cool. Might have to go check out Michael's see if they got anything of the like. Not that I play Tholians mind you.

Paul: Micheal's is where I got the green, plastic canvasthat I used for my web.

The Omega ships look cool - especially the MÃ¦sron one! - but I was wondering if any other Omega ships were in the works.

Personally, I'd hope for a couple of Iridani, Trobrin and Bolosco ships, as well as a few more FRA designs...

Sorry, got carried away with the camera.

I had an extra Cobra, so I decided to make it into a Terminator after being inspired by Mike Raper's in CL #39. I figure it will be a nice suprise to pop out vs Wedge's peace loving ISC and their PPDs.

Very nice.

Can you upload a bigger picture of number 22?

Actually... I'd rather see a photo of Hod K'el when he sees it on the table!!!

Nice. I've been thinking of finally painting up my Andros. Along with so many other minis.

'Captain to the Bridge.'
'What is the problem?'
'Sir, a strange ship just entered this sector.'

I am not sure what color I am going to paint my ISC ships. I am either going to go dark blue or grey. If I paint them dark blue, I am going to paint my Hydrans dark grey. Any suggestions?

No suggestions on color from me, since I don't do either of those empires.

I will say nice stuff though. Those ISC and Andromedan fleets both would be enough to make some "boot quaking" happen.

I didn't like the gap between the add-on part and the upper hull on the Kzinti NCA, so I filled it smooth with putty on mine.

I went with a Testors USN Sea Blue (think WWII US Navy Fighters) for my Hydrans:

My Hydran Minis

For the ISC, I used Citadel Enchantment Blue:

For may Andros, I plan to use GW Snot Green. Kind of matches my old high school's colors. I started painting my Hydrans with Enchanted Blue(although I really like SWO's USN Sea Blue), but I may switch to Shadow Grey. That way I can paint my ISC either Enchanted Blue, or a darker Regal Blue with either light blue or grey trim and black detailing.

On the otherhand, one of the guys suggested that I should paint the ISC ships grey and that if I make any NCAs & NCSs they should be painted buttercup

Use Tamiya Sea Blue on my Hydras, currently the top coat is a bit glossy, they are very dark, looks more green than blue ---

My ISC are panted with Apple Barrel Cloudless, a bit lighter blue than normal, but I like it ---

Scoutdad · Post by **Scoutdad** » Thu Jul 30, 2009 12:32 pm

My Hydrans are painted Apple Barrel Rythym and Blue with a generous wash of CeramCoat Cobalt Blue:

I haven't collected enough ISC to actually start painting them, butthe plan is to use a base coat of CeramCoat Ultramarine (it's a light to medium blue), highlighted with CeramCoat Cyan (very light blue) and glaze with a 1:1 mixture of magic wash:Windsor & Newton Cobalt Ink.

And if it doesn't turn out, we'll send 'em to the "DIP!" and try something else...

Butternut! It is a shade of brown. Buttercup is a shade of yellow. And when you are outnumbered 9 to 1 and still fight for four years, you ain't yellow!
