My first real post in three years!

So a lot has happened as I posted on my return post, even in just a few days since posting! I had my first batch of reinforcement fleets arrive in the nick of time! 

Ships that arrived for the new Federation Task Force 69 (childish giggles) is as follows: 

1 Sovereign Class Dreadnought, 1 Akira Class Heavy Cruiser, 1 Ambassador Class Heavy Cruiser, 1 Steamrunner Class Cruiser, 1 Luna Class Cruiser, 1 Excelsior Refit Cruiser, 1 Intrepid Class Light Cruiser, 2 Excelsior Class Light Cruisers, 1 Saber Class Escort Cruiser, 6 Constitution Class Frigates, and finally 6 Miranda Class Frigates. (Pictures below)

 

 

While I was waiting for these ships to come in, I have been working with Armadillo’s shipyard to get more ships created! I have on order in my shopping cart on shapeways, 6 Loknar Class Frigates and 6 Constellation Class Destroyers, soon to add 6 Belknap Class Frigates as well. 

Another on thing I am working on is getting the U.S.S. Allegiance printed at 1/7000 scale as well. (Pictures below.)

 

 

I will have some updates tomorrow on some Dungeons and Dragons updates, (both of my current campaign I am in and in the campaign I am currently working on!) so stay tuned. 

Side note: the next few posts may have different fonts and font sizes, please forgive me as I work to get the best font size and font for everyone!

New Comers Arrive!

So I got a package today! I made an order almost a year ago for a ISD, a Victory ISD and 3 wings of TIE fighters (36 in total!). These ships come from the Starwars Armada line. So I have some shot comparisons to my 1/7000 ships of my federation line. I am impressed however, at the details of these ships. The TIE’s don’t have a lot of details on them but they do have enough that for those who want to paint them, they can. The ISD and Victory ISD however have a decent paint job and great detail. A little bit of engine repainting is in order but out of the box I find that there is little that needs to be done!

Here are some of my comparison shots! Hope y’all enjoy! I will post more tomorrow about the size differences between the giant Attack Wing Borg Cube and the ISDs, and with my 1/7000 scale ships (more one on one pictures.)

Im looking forward to ordering more Imperial fleet forces and some Federation Peregrine fighters to make this more of an “even” battle!

Hope everyone enjoyed the post. If you have any questions or want closer shots of the new miniatures, let me know in the comments below! I expect to post about another shapeways site tomorrow and then a closer review of these ships. Good night everyone!

Works in progress

Here’s some of my works in progress. These 1/7000 ships are from 1sickbastards shapeways site. I currently have 3 ships almost done that are needing touchups and 1 that needs alot more work (sadly.) This is my first attempt at painting ships. Im pretty happy at how they came out!

I had to use Dawn dish soup and hot water over night with a brush to get the separating solutions off. Then I did a basic black acrylic spray paint (I believe, will get the brand up later) as a base black coat, and then mixed 1 black drop with 5 white drops of acrylic paint to get the lightish grey color. Basic red and basic blue acrylic paint for the rest. (Soon to add a shine and maybe a wet brush of black in).
