Making Headway at Warp Speed

This weekend, I completed 17 Klingon, Romulan, and Federation ships, 10 Federation fighters, and made progress on a few more Kzinti, Gorn, and Orion Pirate ships for SFB.  

The Romulans are almost complete at 33 ships, and I placed an order for an additional 6 more Gorn, and 26 Hydran Ships, which will more or less complete my purchases for those fleets. 

I will still need to scratch build several larger Gorn ships; CAs, DN, Tugs, etc. as I have a couple of the older Gorn Heavies and don't like the engine treatment that they game to the newer sculpts for these ships, so will sculpt masters that are closer to the older models.

Recently I received orders from Brigade Models and GZG for fighters to use with Star Fleet Battles, and have started working on those.  Service from both companies was fast and exceptionally good, and the miniatures are beautiful.

I can see a dot of light at the end of the galactic wormhole with respect to my SFB project.  Having made a huge amount of progress this year, and am looking forward to getting the game table cleared off to blow up some of these ships.

I have gotten the new computer up and running, but discovered yesterday that my old photo editing software will finally no longer load on a new computer, so will attempt to fix that tonight after which I will start uploading a lot more photos.  For now, here are just a couple to give an idea of the scope of what I've been doing.


The Romulan Fleet as of Saturday,
It gained another 10 ships Sunday, mostly,
 older War Eagles and a Battlehawk.
All models from Task Force Games/StarFleet 
Games. 

The Klingon and Federation Fleets a few weeks back, I've added
 about a dozen ships to each since.  Ship models from 
Task Force Games/StarFleet Games, Lou Zocchi, FASA, 
Studio Bergstrom and a couple of sources through Shapeways.
