Thanks!

Did these years back, I'd probably use decals instead of hand-painting the insignia these days.  ;)

Well the insignia look pretty good!  Nice job!  Are these the Call to Arms models?

Love it. The EA Omegas are one of my favorite ship designs and youve done them well. Your league and Centauri ships look great too!
I don't make the rules, I just think them up and write them down.

Thanks guys!

These are the original Agents of Gaming models, for B5 Wars.  The molds were later used by Mongoose for their ACTA minis, so basically, they're the same. ;)

I actually drilled out a bit in the center and then used a clipped nail to allow the center section of my Omega to rotate - that's half the fun. :D

Brigman, those look great.  I like the "nose art" on the backs of the Thunderbolt fighters, well done.  I've never played the game (nor watched the series--but it's on my list), but I do have a 1/72 Starfury model that's half-finished on my hobby desk.

Did they ever make Starfury fighters in the scale of the ships in these pictures?  Wouldn't mind getting my hands on a few if they're out there..

Thanks!  The series is great.  I highly recommend it.  Babylon 5 Wars is a better game than B5: ACTA, but it's out of print.  Should be able to find it on evilbay.

They did make Starfuries and I will have to get some photos posted of mine sometime... ;)
