Babylon 5 Returns
Narn What I Mean Guv'nor
Time to get stuck into the fleet, so I have assembled a selection of photos for inspiration.
This is especially important as the Narn Dazzle camo is what drew me to their fleet back in the day.
first step with all the stripped bases was to punch out 3mm holes in the centre of 71 squares of plasticard so I could mask the joins…was this the best way of doing it, probably not but it’s done now so shut up.
bases covered, my fighter stands have arrived but they use a “standard” hex base that is much higher, so I’m currently contemplating ordering some acrylic rod to make my own like the one on the right at the same level as the rest of the fleet
So now I have to decide am I going to hand paint on the dazzle pattern or try something clever with stencils and masking or maybe even decals…
We should know by next week!
you madman!
If you go to Z’ha’dum, you will die…
Where did you get those three fighter flight stands? They are awesome!
got them from GZG https://shop.groundzerogames.co.uk/full-thrust-starships/stands-bases-and-miscellaneous-bits.html where they do 3 ship stands or 6 ship, however got them because Brigade Models didn’t have the stands with topper, now I know I just need the topper I would have got them from there, although they only do the 3 pronged topper http://www.brigademodels.co.uk/Spaceships/Accessories.html
Danger ships!!! :p
Have to say stencilling with an airbrush always takes longer than I expect. Don’t know why I keep thinking it’s easy. Especially with small stencils. They peel up very easily. I usually ended up correcting them with a brush after.
These are the ship designs, along with the Vorlon, that grabbed me during the first run of B5. Of course I also love the Explorer ships from Earth as well.
Well done on these. Love the red and black!
