Federation Commander

Love the entire F-5/F-6 series you have done and are on Shapeways now - all are just superb little gems

More work underway - I think I have too many minis in progress

Thanks - I Also used old plastic engines on it as they were roughly the same size as the metal OCL engines but required little or no cleanup and would be less stress on the plastic pylons.

Hiya - thought I would share my latest near completion of the larger metal 3125 scale Fed Old CL. I modified it to look more like the Starline 2400 original mini with engines on pylons as well as a (not seen here) plastic sensor dish (from one of the plastic Fed Tug minis) on the underside

Fantastic - can't wait to see those!

The only suggestion I might have, now ...

I didn't actually say "no rhyme or reason" just that it was not well thought out.


Sorry - didn't mean to put words in your mouth!

thankya trynda1701 for the positive feedback on the F-5S! I am pleased with how it turned out - just want to highlight a few areas a bit more and dull coat it.

I ...

Cool - thankya - so there is no rhyme or reason to what is on the hull characters. For my test mule for a Klingon paint scheme I just found a Klingon windows font and threw together some of the characters and had them printed as decals:

Hiya - first post - just getting back into SFB miniatures after many years and have a mix of metal and Shapeways 3125 Klingons I am getting ready to paint.

Looking at the Hull markings on the original TOS D-7, there are three Klingon characters next to the Klingon insignia on the aft hull - is this ...
