My personal favorite is the Lioness, an alternate NCA I was lucky enough to have published by ADB in Module R9. To my knowledge, this is the only mini of the ship that currently exists:
Not my best photo, but clear enough to see how the mini is built.

I've made a Lioness also, but I used the new casting of the DD so it's a bit bigger. The only problem was that it got moved before the Hysol set and the DN section is out of line slightly. Thank you Jeremy. I think the Lioness is my favorite ship in SFU.

Charles, I used the new DD mini for the CAL as well (well, actually the side hulls from the new CW - pretty much the same thing). If you can find the CAL in the fleet photo I posted in page 2 of this topic's archive, it might give a better since of size.
The rest of the CW, and a CL, went into my Jadgpanther:

Love the "dazzle stripes" on that one Jeremy.

"Oh, that thing looks so pretty!"
"You're right ensign, lets move in for a closer look."
"Sir, they're activating their ESG's!"

BTW, I do keep trying to get the CAL into FC. Haven't succeeded yet ...

Jeremy,
It may be because my center section is a bit more forward, the transom is equal with the aft end of tube warp drives. I tried to match the line drawing in the R section.
Mike,
Please keep trying! I asked for the Lioness back on, I think, page 5 of "What ships do you want."

Dude, I got to give you props. Just saw the pics in the "Painting Examples" of your King Condor, and that is a beautiful job you did on that ship.

Been a while since I posted anything new in the minis discussion. With most of my SFB minis safely in storage back in the states along with a lot of paint I couldn't ship, I'm looking to other mini projects to keep me entertained. After not touching any of my Babylon 5 Wars minis for nearly six years, I dusted of some Narn miniatures last week and went to work.
I updated my old B5Wars mini page to serve as a gallery for the ships I've done so far. Most of the images are nearly 6 years old, but the paint is still drying on the Narns. Fair warning, the page will take a couple minutes to load due to all the photos:

Enjoy!

Damnit, Jeremy, you make me wanna do something new, and I'm busy as it is! Seriously, though, those are great; better than your SFB stuff, in my oh-so humble opinion. Great to see your work!

I concur with Mike, Jeremy. Those are awesome... and as good as the SFB stuff is - the B5 stuff is better.

I don't know diddly about B5, but those look spiffy.

I wouldn't normally think lighter colors for Narns, but those have definitely changed my mind!
Stunning. Wish we could get some close up shots though!
