Federation Commander

Lyran Royal Fleet

Lyran BC. The "Homeworld" paint scheme was based on art by Ted Geibel.



And here's the BC with its progenitor, the CL, done in the same paint scheme:





The Lion dreadnought:



Tiger CA:



Tug:



Destroyer and Frigate:



War Cruiser and War Destroyer:



And the "One big, happy fleet!":

A Lyran Cave Lion Battleship, in (my attempt at) Fire Squadron colours:

Lyrans...Lots of Lyrans...

Here are my Lyran examples (photo credits go to my wife).

Heavy Cruiser





New Heavy Cruiser





War Cruiser





Destroyer



Frigate

Freaky... Almost a year to the day since the last post. October must be "the month of the Lyran".

One more heavy cruiser picture. There is less contrast with the background but slightly better focus for the windows, bridge and engines.

The windows are custom decals that I did on the home computer with my wife's help.

On the engines I used a new (for me) technique of a layer of gold paint covered by a layer of clear red. (I learned this from the StarfighterDecals decal/painting guides when doing my Federation ship engines.)

The other Lyran ships (shown above) simply use a plain red.

This is the last Lyran miniature completed and my favorite Lyran miniature right now.

Not posting in October... Couldn't wait. A friend of mine painted these and I suggested posting them here:

Lyran CA done in a geometric pattern:




Lyran DN done in a tiger-like pattern:





All three of my Lyran CAs:

Heres some of my Lyran fleet ships:

The Single Tooth Lion Mauler DN - I think I might have painted it in the wrong faction, since there was only the one made





Squadron Box 25... its 3/5 Lyran and Lyran allies haha






Big Lyran Fleet - I forgot to add a few ships, PFs and whatnot. Not all of these are finished, some were from an ebay auction years ago and were already painted, and some need to be repainted haha.

We're asking your help! Once a week, I'll put out a request for you to submit photos of a particular painted ship or ships. Please post photos of them for us to use on the shopping cart. We can use one or several pictures with the new cart. You'll be helping your fellow players in their quest for minis and showing the diversity of paint styles and schemes.

This week we are looking for the Starline 2400 Lyran light cruiser and battlecruiser. We can use them together in one shot and separately (yes, we are going to sell these individually now). Please don't go to a special effort to paint one for us, but if you want to show off your work, we want to help you.

Thanks!!!

I've just realised I hadn't posted pics of my little fleet of Lyrans starships that I have painted up. Here are the pics...
