|
|
Here's my latest ongoing project:
Kzinti attrition units on the workbench...
Kzinti TAAS fighters, Kzinti Needle PFs, and Kzinti Shuttlecraft
It may take a while to finish these as they are fill-in between a couple of special commissions (photos later) and a couple of additional masters; but I'll post updates as work progresses. _________________ Commander, Battlegroup Murfreesboro

Yeah, I'm quite proud of those. I wish I had two more flotillas worth, but you make so with what you have.
I need to plan a huge PF battle someday, just so I can break out all the PFs (and psuedo-PF's) I've got.

There's actually two more floating around somewhere... one pewter and one of the small resins ones.
I'm working on a deal to obtain one of he large resin ones, but it still hasn't come through yet. _________________ Commander, Battlegroup Murfreesboro

No. I lucked into several blisters of original TFG PFs on ebay a couple years ago.
I have 2 flotillas of Kzinti...
2 flotillas of Klingon...
3 flotillas of 8 Lyrans...
(6 standard, one leader, and one scout variant in each flotilla)
3 flotillas of 8 Hydrans...
(6 standard, one leader, and one scout variant in each flotilla)
and then I have 2 flotillas of elite scale Warbirds I use as Romulan Centurian PFs...
2 flotillas worth of elite Skyhawks that I use as Romulan Starhawk PFs...
2 flotillas of elite Tholians...
2 flotillas of elite Orions... _________________ Commander, Battlegroup Murfreesboro

I'm glad those Kzinti PF's I traded you went to such a good home and are going to see a game-table someday (unlike at mine). They are looking good, even just in basecoat.
Do you often do mini work in bare feet? Must be a Southern-boy thing... _________________

Very impressive. How are you going to base the PFs? I've had some for years and never found a good solution.

PF basing:
Most of the current crop of PFs is mounted on custom made bases... I'll post photos later - so these will probably be done the same way.
Feets in the photo:
I didn't even realize that... but leave it to Will to notice!
It's a southern thing. As soon as we get home from work, the shoes come off.
It comes from having to wear hand-me-down shoes when we were young and walked five miles each way to school... all of it uphill... in hte snow, year round...
Workbench:
Funny that... most of the photos I've taken of the stuff in progress show hints of whats to come. _________________ Commander, Battlegroup Murfreesboro

Two of the Juggies in the background appear to be *ahem* making more Juggies. _________________

Lucky indeed! Can't wait to see more of the PFs.

OK... I had to go ahead and finish one TAAS, just to verify that my desired color scheme would be satisfactory:
Overhead view:
Forward view:
Just a quick and dirty job. This one'll probably be dipped and redone and the others will be completed more carefully. But the color test was sucessful. _________________ Commander, Battlegroup Murfreesboro

Having never used mini's in playing SFB or FC, how do you all handle stacking? |

That is the main problem with using miniatures in a wargame like this, you can't stack. We usually jut pull one of the minis off the table and move it a good distance away on the board leaving it the correct facing. |
