Working on my ruleset is draining on my gaming time, and ships are beggining to pile up on my paint desk… check the full pics here: link

Nothing makes me paint more than a deadline. I am co hosting a Full thrust game and need even more ships including an assault landing ship

Well, I can tell you that many of us have unpainted that outnumbers painted by a good margin… ;-) At least I am thinning down my projects and thinning down the different scales in each project. I am sticking to 15mm for ancients and medievals. Wish I could settle on one scale for Napoleonics too :-( Your unpainted reminds me of the hordes of Epic 40K that I have. Some of which is partially painted but most of which is not painted. I probably have a 15:1 ratio of unpainted to painted…. ;-)

Hu sort of looks like my painting table. I only have 16 ESU old sculpt ships to fill out the fleet. A few Phalons as well, same reason. Then some Merchant/civilian ships. Then I am done, I think?!

Quickly! Maneuver the fleet to hide in the shadow of that paint plume issuing from the airbrush! That should confuse the enemy (and get those beauties pigmented lickety split).

Hey, I see priming and even first colors on some. Head and shoulders above my collection. Doug

Ha! I've got five Full Thrust Fleets. I'm just beginning to paint my IJSN fleet. Got three of them assembled. The rest of the IJSN and they other four are still in blisters and plastic bags! I don't even want to think about all the B5 fleets sitting on my shelf in blisters! My Minbari are about half assembled, the Vorlon about 1/3, and a few of my Brakiri are assembled. No primer on them though! You at least have primer and base coats on them.

matgc83 – I feel your pain. What base color do you intend for the Carnivorans? Al \| ravenfeastsmeadhall.blogspot.com

Broadsword, I'll try to paint them as close to Desertscribe's as possible, as I LOVE what he did on his:
