|
|
Hi.
I haven't been able to apply brush to paint, or to a mini, for quite some time - and I'm note sure when I'll get a chance to get set up for that again.
But, I do have the odd mini which was painted a while back, though not all of them are quite finished.
I tried to take some pics today, but it's too dark to get them to turn out well. I may try again on a brighter day.
But, in the meantime, here is a sample of what I have tried to work on:
(Note that one of the Klingon ships is not a Starline mini.)
(The non-Starline mini is not in this picture.) _________________ FC Omega Discussion (v3)

Bah! This isn't a modest minis thread! No minis thread is modest! It's about showing off your good work!
Good to see more minis being done (even if it was a little while ago).
Nice job on the Andro-very intimidating.
And I really like the ISC, looks used and like it's been through a lot of combat during the Pacification Campaign.
The Tholians are hard to make out details-wise because of the light, but I think I see some contrasting colors there.
Is that a FASA D7 in there? _________________ O.G. OPTIMUS

Thanks!

Well, the mini does most of that job by itself! I love it.

I tried to base the colour scheme on the ISC ships from Starfleet Command 2.

I was kind of experimenting with those - one I wanted to make look vaguely In a Mirror, Darkly-ish.

Indeed so - I like to think of it as a DX substitute.
When the lighting is better, I'll see about doing some clearer pics. _________________ FC Omega Discussion (v3)

Gary - good job.
I like the Andro... very menacing.
I also have a few of the FASA D7s that I use for DXs... _________________ Commander, Battlegroup Murfreesboro

Thanks, Scoutdad!
Anyway, a few more pics.
First up, the Inter-Stellar Concordium Dreadnought Concordium:
The Klingon C7 War:
And the Andromedan Dominator Mazzini!
A sign of things to come:

Gary, those look great man. Nicely done. I particularly like the ISC ship (but all look great).
Got any more in the works? _________________ Check out my website at: http://www.jgray-sfb.com/

I can't remember!
(I'm not sure why it photographs that way, but the hull is more green-ish in person.)

Thanks - they all need a little tidying up, though.
Problem is, I have no setup for painting where I am now...
...but I do have a number of ships I want to try and do up once I'm able to get painting again. _________________ FC Omega Discussion (v3)

I used a Gundam Marker (which I ordinarily use to fill in the panel lines on the Gundam figures I also collect) to touch up some of the lines on Mazzini.
Plus, I decided to try a new place to take photos!

Personally, I like the Andro best. But all of them are good.
Ad, yes I'm not into minis yet, but the Andro looked so good I had to say something... |

Oh, the Dominator is arguably the best miniature in the entire Starline 2400 range.
It's got such... gravitas.
I really can't wait to see what the Devastator might be like! _________________ FC Omega Discussion (v3)

Take an 8-inch aluminum pie pan... turn it upside down... paint it green... add gray details... and voila! Andromedan Devastator! _________________ Commander, Battlegroup Murfreesboro
