Federation Commander

So, I got me Squadron Box #7 in the mail. Within it, there's a Fed ship which I believe is the War Destroyer. Here's the thing. I have no idea how to glue the bottom third nacelle to the body. I haven ...

Hello guys. I was thinking of getting one big table mat for my games. I've seen one at the usual hobby store I frequent. I think its a Chessex one that is plain black with white hex lines and numbers. ...

I'm been wrestling with the same problem. I don't think Feds should be a pristine white, but if you tone it down, you get grey. Klingons - grey. Romulans - grey. Gorn - grey.... AAAGGHH!

BTW, ...

That Orion ship looks fantastic. Great shading, highlighting and detailing. Probably my favorite I've seen so far. What colors did you use for this one?

Thanks Rick.

I use a lot of different pai ...

As far as Orions go: I don't think there is a "Canon" to break.
I have half a dozen or so painted with

I would assume that an Orion ship could be painted however the ship's owner ...

I like the subtle variations in shading you can get. They have a great sense of scale.

Agreed. I like 'em! Can't wait to see the NCF with decals. Its a good looking ship. Might have to buy one for ...

Thanks guys! That totally clears things up. And thanks Scoutdad for the Warbird history. I'm so glad the Fed Com community here is so helpful. When I started buying up minis, I had in mind a plan to h ...

Funny. Very Happy

Well, just so you guys know, I ask about canon and background histories not because I'm afraid to get called out by fellow foru ...

Ah I see. They group up into cartels. I didn't know that. Guess I was thinking more like "Pirates of the Caribbean" or something. Smile

Heh heh.

Is there a website or something that has ba ...

I like the grey one better... Smile

Cool. It's pretty much the one I've decided to go with. Later on, as I paint different class ships in the Klingon fleet, I'll add my own variations on insignia and ...

Newbie here.

Just wondering...what is this Juggernaut? What race made it? What's the story behind it? Just wondering. Seen it on the cover of Captain's Log.

Well, I'm still experimenting with my new minis and which way to go with them. Having recently starting watching the Star Trek TOS episodes again, I decided to try and go closer to "canon" . ...
