Federation Commander

I'd posted some comments on Facebook when Jean put this art up there:

I really do need to finalize getting the rules written up for that. It's KIND of like the 'Admiral's Game', but simplified somewhat. Basically, the two sides are both regular fleets (something like 12 ships or so). Between the ...

Looks like the image links have been lost - anyone save a copy?

So, I have the Gorn desktop emblem, which is awesome. But I'm curious what the three words say around the triangle? At first I thought they were the planets, but aren't they just Ghdar 1, 2 and 3? Then I thought it would be cool if it said, "Must Eat Kirk", but that probably wouldn't work.

Is ...

It's definitely about the best paint job of a 'Stormbird' I'd ever seen - didn't realize the scale was quite so big on it!

Still, that's basically the inspiration for what I'll be aiming at for the KRs from ADB/Mongoose. While I'm not a huge fan of much that came out of FASA's time with the Trek ...

Yeah. I was just wondering what scale that was since those details are awesome! Even more awesome since it's the 1/3900 mini.

I didn't know that the actual mini had different nacelles than the D7. I know that the line art does, but I've never seen a Stormbird, all the ones I have are the D7. Cool ...

AFAIR, the FASA miniatures were 1/3900 scale.

But that might be fudging things a bit, as that would make it even smaller than the original Starline 2400 minis (at vaguely 1/3788 according to the recent blog post)...and I don't think the FASA ships were.

In any case...much, MUCH smaller than the ...

Great work there. And while I'll probably do my Hawks in classic Rom dirty white, they do look good in your gemstone green. I especially like how the Rom Eagle looked on the beak of the heavy Hawk there.

FWIW, my plan was to paint the old 'Eagles' in the off-white colors, switch over to grey and ...

Those of you who follow ADB on Facebook have *probably* all seen these already, but I'd done some texture/painting over the Mongoose renders to get a feel for what they might look like as 'finished ships'.

Results as such:

They seem like they have quite a bit of flexibility, though.

I've certainly done some of my own planets, in Photoshop, and they do come out alright...it just takes a lot of time.

The reason I was wondering is that the post over here on the Profantasty blog , showing the fractal generator with ...

Out of curiosity - what are you doing these in?

Just pure Photoshop, or are you using something like the ProFantasy Terraformer or Fractal Terrains products?

Due to lack of interest, OPL in Beaverton may come to an end. We've been doing this for 9 months and no one has showed up other than myself and one other person. We may simply change stores since a lot of people find the current location too out of the way. I'll keep everyone posted.

Some place ...

In case anyone missed it, Xander Fulton has done up some spectacular art for certain Alpha Octant faction logos - and you can see them here !

And I've since added a number more, since the last update.

Still keeping with the 'alpha octant'...more or less. (Jindarians are in other areas, of course ...

Last time I was at Rainy Day, they had NO FedCom materials. Checking a look at their inventory list on their website...seems they only have the two 'Border' boxes at the moment?

FYI - Bridgetown Hobbies over in my part of town stocks the entire SFU product line (SFB, FedCom - including the 'Border ...

Question on this - so the "spiral bound version" is definitely gone ?

I've been using that quite a bit (I bought it when it first was announced), and REALLY like the convenience of it. Not sure how to manage a loose-leaf stack, or three-hole-punch version quite so well. Spiral bound is gone, though ...
