Heavy carrier with a 15mm NAC trooper to show the size
The heavy carrier is a weighty beast. I've now glued in a 2" acrylic peg, reinforced at the join with the ship using a short collar of 5/32" brass tubing. For painting the ship I've got a 4" length of 3/16" brass tubing. When I go to use the ship for gaming, I'll need to add another short length of 5/32" tube as reinforcement.
Escort carriers
Awaiting assembly are the light carrier, battleship and battlecruiser. I'll probably assemble them tomorrow evening (I need a break from superglue!). I'm taking the fighters and my extra NAC heavy cruiser to work tomorrow to prep.
Going back to basing the fighters, it seems that everyone agrees that 3 fighters on a large hex looks best, which is what I was leaning towards anyway. When I do them, I'll probably play around with different formations to give a bit of variety.
I like how your paints are organized in the back there. I have similar set up with my bake boxes.
ReplyDeleteGod, those look like great ungainly things to try to put together AND all in white metal too! Yikes! Good on you, girl.
ReplyDeleteI those ships! They remind me of the only part I liked from Starship Troopers the movie.... the starships!
