HI again!
Well I got some time to do some more painting and I was able to knock out the big ships that I have for each fleet.
Here is a picture for you but you can see more over at my blog: wargameinsvergie.blogspot.se Have a good Friday!!! |

How do you do the bases? |

Mark nice paint jobs. One question regarding basing have you ever thought of using Magnets for attaching ships to the bases? I ask this because it's more easy for storage of a lot(but not all)of the ships. Michael |

Really like the Star Blazer ships and must get to painting mine but I HATE those damned photo etched parts. They are apain to put on the ships and the few that I have gamed with tended to shed the photo etch rather easily. |

I'm not fond of the little Musashi miniatures, (prefer the Bandai Mecha Collection series) but you've done these justice, Mbrien. Good work! |

;->= I find the old Bandai small-box models 'fiddly.' As you can guess, I've never assembled any of the Musashi Ent with photo-etch. Better man than I… Doug |

The base is just a 25mm base from Warbases. it is 3 mm thick and all I do is take a nail and punch a hole and use a toothpick for the vertical part. I glue the model to the toothpick. I use special bases with magnets on my WWII and Modern aircraft. Thanks for the kind remarks. There is more to come, with time. Mark |

Allen57 and Doug I understand what you're saying about photo-etched parts and they're a pain in the ass to work with. But I've managed to work with them. For example 2 EDF ships Yamato and Andromeda have 12 or more photo-etched parts including very tiny parts,so I decided that I'll put on just enough to make the ships look good. So on each of those ships I glued on 10 photo-etched parts. Also for myself I really like the StarBlazers minis mainly because almost every ship is in scale with each other and not many other spaceship minis lines can make that claim |

…not many other spaceship minis lines can make that claim… I would put that as 'genre…lines', but know what you mean big time. MarkB: I have to wonder if I'm the only one here who came up full stop on the idea of those lovely figs supported by just a toothpick… Doug |
