28mmMan threw down the gauntlet here
TMP link
and after discusion with him here is a WIP thread for all open competition entries. So to kick things off here is my GZG IF styled fleet from sprue and sheet plastic. I started with a battleship

Woah there, Toaster! Let the rest of us catch up!!! (Love what you've done so far, by the way – remind me of B5 Centari designs.) |

Nice job! I think its the little details from the small pieces of sheet plastic that really make these models work for me. I bet they'll look even better once they're painted up. |

WIP are always welcome and are always inspiring…well done! A fire is lit under my butt to be sure :) Very nice. |

Yes Martin the GZG IF are a "not centari" design, one of my reasons for making them was so that they could do double duty as opponents for my Narn fleet (although I refuse to paint them purple and gold). Robert |

Oh boy! Toaster, outdone yourself on this occasion – very well done, and will have to look to my laurels with my "between wars" NAC designs now . . . |

Well, you lot did inspire me to get off my duff and start filling up the album Apple in its infinite wisdom chose to replace my blog with:

Lots more on the way, including a refit of the Fenris, a battle cruiser I built for Silent Death over fifteen years ago and that is sorely in need of repairs and a refit!

Those two golden ships are beautiful, Leland. Details of their construction? |

"Those two golden ships are beautiful, Leland. Details of their construction?"
Those were two of my playtest fleet for War Rockets. The larger started out as some GI Joe toy I picked up at a garage sale. Some plastic beads and 1/144 scale underwing ordinance later…
The other was a drop tank from a jet aircraft model, plus some smaller of same, sheet plastic wings and wall anchors for engines. Comes from watching the old 1930s vintage Flash Gordon serials as a kid growing up in the SF Bay Area (ie., Creature Features hosted by Bob Wilkins every Friday night!)…

Very cool, thanks for that. |

Ok I have a few days without direct mission applied just yet, so I am going to make some movement on my entry in the open portion of this little event. I am using these picture as my primary base forms for my 15mm ship. I have not picked the direction or what part these will be, I will in the next day or so…most likely as a nacelle. We have another month in this little contest so that leaves plenty of time. |

Leeland, I see you have some Aquarians from Starfleet Wars/Galactic Knights in your gallery as well. Nice job! |
