Alternative Paintjobs

Hello people!

I'm an old (casual) SFB player from back in the 80s and 90s. Getting back into things with FedCom. I have my Klingon Border box on order from my FLGS and I'm thinking of how I want to paint up my Fed, Klink, and Zinti 2500 ships. I have fleet boxes for the Feds and the Kitty Kats sitting here, plus I'm about to order a Klingon box as well.

I'm looking for inspirational pictures or links from anyone who has done their ships in non-standard colors. I am considering painting my Klingons in red, for example, to represent an Orion-allied Klingon faction. I'd like to do my Fed ships in something a little darker or metallic. Not sure where I want to go with the Kzintis yet. Might just do them in boring orange or red. :)

I've seen a few pictures out there on the web and a few more on the threads here, but perhaps some people have not posted pictures yet. Or maybe my search-fu is weak and I've missed something cool.

If anyone has some inspiring or interesting "non-standard" painjobs they would like to show off, please feel free to put them in this thread or post a link to somewhere out there in the inter-webs.

Thanks!

Mr Black

There are some on the Mongoose forums:

There is also an ACTA:SF related Facebook page run by Scoutdad with plenty of pics:

"A call to arms star fleet fans"

Or look at my take on the Klingon D5 series (probably will do the F5Ws the same way):
