Ruckdog's Finished Firestorm Armada Terrans

[Landlubber]

That's genius. I'll have to give that a try. I've thought about cutting pieces but I could never get the angle or the width correct.

The tape is pre-cut to the .5mm width, so all I had to do was worry about the length. This was the source I used for it:

Well, I'm sure there was a lot of patience involved too, with tape that small.

A bit...it is hard to keep lines straight, especially over longer distances. This in particular was a challenge with the 1:1800 scale carriers I painted up back in the spring!

The Reinforcements box I have been working on for my Terrans is finished!

Really really nice, love the scheme.

Those turned out great.
Did you end up magnetizing the cruisers or glueing them?

Thanks! I magnetized them. Specifically, the upper hulls are magnetized to the lower hulls. The inserts in the middle for the extra turret option are just sitting in their sockets. That definitely secures them well enough for gameplay purposes since the socket is so deep! I'm still working on the paint for the light cruiser hulls.

Really really nice, love the scheme.

Thanks! I appreciate that .

Top-notch work as always Ruckdog. Really like the decals, great job getting those to look so smooth.

These models are from the Task Force box, correct?

Thanks!

Yes, these are the Taskforce models. I picked up the "Reinforcements Box" which has just the Terran models in it; three of the light/torpedo cruisers, and 6 of the light frigates. Although, I wound up with a "bonus" 7th frigate in my box!

[Landlubber]

Bonus ships are always a good thing.

Got the next batch done! Almost ready for Adepticon.



Planetary assault fleet:



Light cruisers:



These little guys have a lot of detail on the undersides that you normally can't see when they are on their stands!



And last but not least, I painted up a 3rd destroyer so that I now have a full squadron of 3! For years, I only had the two of them. The new one is the one in the middle. I'm very happy that they match so closely, since the other two were painted years ago. In fact, they were the first ships I painted in this current scheme; I developed the dark blue with light blue accent idea because of this model, in an effort to break up the large flat surfaces some and give it more visual interest.

Shooting for another Best Painted at Adepticon, are we? ;-) Folks will have to work hard to top you!

[Ruckdog]

Hee Hee, thanks Dale. Actually though, after some
recent list revisions, the only ships in that group pic
that will be in my Adepticon lists will be the CLs and the Assault Cruisers!

[Landlubber]

Looking good as always Ruck. Fine looking fleet you've got there.
