So, neither the ships nor the phots came out as I would have liked (see early message about hits and misses) but they look good at arms distance.

Everything works for me.

Looks like the Klingons are going to wish they went to class the day they taught the Sabre Dance...

I like your Klingons. Weathered. Rugged.

And I'd love to see more of that War Eagle. I can see the feathers on the edges, do you have a bird on the bottom? Is it hand painted?

I like all the hand painted details.

The "battle scene" is just a vignette to get the ships in the picture. I try to keep my Klingons 15 hexes away from photon armed vessels! Of course, the Feds have different plans.

I do like how the Klingons came out, especailly since one's eye does not discern the shading as starkly as the camera.

The War Eagle has a hand painted bird on the ventral surface, hand painted, but I do not have photo. Its a brown shadow with gold lines (outline, feather lines, etc). It's OK.

Thanks for the kind comments.

Hey man they look sweet to me. Hope mine can turn out as decent. I'm not good with the hand painted things.

THOUGH. You know for flames of war, I'm using a white gel pen to write names of vehicles onto my tanks. That might be an idea to use in conjunction with ADB miniatures. Could write something on where no decal is available. (like those gorn symbols maybe . . . hmmn that's a good idea).

I've used ultra fine technical pens to letter / detail minis in the past. It works well until it comes time for the sealant.

It seems that the solvents in the aerosol sealant always cause the ink to "bleed"
