I had posted this one before, but no one else posted any models and I started to feel a little awkward... :oops:

But here it is again.

PS - I like your decals djdood. What's wrong with decals? :wink:

Now for something completely different:

The PLANET KILLER!

It's not a starship, per se... but it is an ADB miniature...

That's a good looking CA! I think the decals came out great. I'd love to have some that looked that good on some of my figures.

I love that CA gluing jig you built too. Wish I'd had that when I was putting my CVS together.

Thanks. That particular mini is back in drydock right now, as the engine with a broken strut (you can see the extra glue at the base of it in that picture) managed to spin around the brass pin there to reinforce it and came loose again. I've just about got it finished (added a second pin next to the original to keep it from pinwheeling again). Luckily the decals for the grilles survived.

Excellent! That's a good looking mini!

Bussard collectors need to be blue though :wink:

speaking of blue, Shouldn't the Domes on the nacels of the CF be Blue?

This is just a small nitpick, and I've seen it done both ways, so pay it no mind.

Slang

It is not 'slang'...it is the technical term for 'domes on the nacelles'!

I've always liked them red, and decided to go that way when I painted the mini (which is now in storage back in the states). One of these days, all my Fast Ships might, "go blue", but for now, they are what they are.
