Federation Commander

Yep Starfighterace decals. I drink too much coffee to have the fine motor control necessary for lettering on that scale.

Thanks for the complements. It takes me a while to get through things, but you can count on seeing the rest of the ships in the box when I get them done.

A Fed CA and FF

Next time I should have better pics, these aren't so hot.

I know the pics ...

Hmm, good point. I'm not thinking on the microscopic scale of things.

Hmm, I think I'll just get a bottle of brush on matte sealer with next months budgetary allotment. If that doesn't keep the decals from wrinkling I guess I'll have to learn to keep a steady hand for lettering.

I used Reaper's Master Series acrylic paints with a layer of slightly thinned Future as the base gloss coat . I've never had any problems with the Krylon matte sealer on my pieces that don't have decals. First time I've had any issues with it.

I finally got around to applying some decals and have run across a problem of wrinkling. I did a Fed FF first, applied the decals and when I sprayed with my usual matte finish (Krylon Matte Sealer) the decals wrinkled up. Luckily I still read the ship's name on the saucer, but the decals don't look ...

Thanks. I'm quite proud of them and I've come a long way from my first minis.

The gloss I have on is a Future mix. That's my usual first coat of sealant for my gaming pieces, followed by enough coats of matte sealer to kill the shine, though this time decals will be sandwiched between.

Though these have nothing to do with the SFU, here's a gallery of my other miniatures so ...

Thanks. I've already got a layer of gloss sealer on them, so just wanted to make sure I was remembering correctly. With any luck I'll have a small collection of Fed and Klingon ships ready in the next couple days.

Ok, it has been a loooooooong time since I've used waterslide decals (somewhere around 16~18 years). As I remember after cutting out the decal you put it into slightly warm water to separate the decal from the backing. I'm assuming that if the water is too hot there is potential for damaging the ...
