Rather than the standard Star Trek white, I painted it in an olive-drab/green colour to use as a kind of near-future military dropship.
You can see it here with some crewmembers - actually NATO pilots and a maintenance guy - who says they won't dress like this in the near-future ?
Unfortunately I mistakenly put the overhead drive sensors back to front and it's too damn late now to fix it now (Mr. Spock would not be amused)
It's a lovely sturdy model and could make a nice focal point for a game with some colonial space marines which I'm currently working on (along with dozens of other projects in parallel which I keep picking up, putting to one side again, picking up again.. .... you fellas all understand, it's a common affliction in our hobby ;-) )
Happy New Year to all out there.

Hi,
ReplyDeleteIt looks great. Very good idea to paint it 'non Federation', I didn't recognize it - it makes a fantastic drop ship.
Very nice job on the crew as well.
Cheers,
Nick Grant
This looks great with the figures John, well done.

Thanks JM.
ReplyDeleteI used Vallejo Russian Green, mixed with a little white, then washed with a darker colour.
Look forward to seeing new stuff on your website too.
