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.
Impressive space fleets there! I'm glad you are getting on top of your blog posting difficulties.
ReplyDeleteThanks, it feels good to finally be getting back to normal.
DeleteSmashing looking fleet.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteLove it! The Feds and Klingons are particularly pleasing. TOS era (or adjacent) ships are the best because the cute and paste nature of the hulls just works so well.
ReplyDelete(and are those my E4 frigates from ShapeWays with the Axanar styling? Would love to see them up close)
Yes, I'm nostalgically linked most closely to TOS, and pre-TOS, i.e., Axanar stuff appeals and fits nicely.
ReplyDeleteAnd are, those are your E4s. I'll have better pics in future posts. I had intended to get more of them. Do you currently have a means of producing them?
Thrilling to see them in the wild so to speak.
DeleteWith the closure of the Shapeways marketplace, there is apparently no way to host files online and have someone else buy prints. I could either get them printed locally and send them to you, or sell you the stls.
Email me at this blogger name at yahoo.com and we can discuss if you are interested. (I have a lot of Axanar era ships, and could make more variants)
