.. well at the very least, Im boldly hoping…

I have a slew of Star Trek projects, models, terrain, etc that have fell by the wayside, and its time to shame motivate myself into finishing them.

got a few pieces of scatter terrain/objective markers done for my Klingon Colony board.

Since we predominately play our Trek games using the Galactic Heroes and/or other Fistful of Lead rules from Wiley Games, I dont need buckets of dice, just a few d12s, d10s, and d8s. So rather than haul the traditional Crown Royal bag leaden with 5 pounds of dice around to every game table, it was time to actual 3d print the tricorder dice box.  Grabbed a file from thingiverse, a quick ugly boolean in Blender to modify it, and off to the printer. a few slapdash brush strokes of paint, a horrendously ugly install of  some magnets, and done.

It was time to do up some Trek specific counters as well.

Replacing the standard Fistful of Lead Wound Counters, I printed out some Red Alert counters.

We also have a house rule Trait for Borg that allow them to Adapt to a target’s ranged attacks.

In a nutshell for those interested in the rule: a Borg model spends both actions to Adapt to a target’s ranged attacks. All Borg models are immune to that models ranged attacks until the that model performs a Reload action to cycle the frequencies on their phaser/ disrupter /etc.
Author’s Note: Goddamned Larry and his goddamned Borg are a freaking menace! absolutely terrifying to play against…. but so much fun!

So I printed off some Adaptation tokens while I was at it.

Got some done on my 1:7000 scale Klingon Fleet.

The WizKids Vor’Cha was only 1mm off scale so those were used, everything else had to be 3d printed.

Overall, I do like the Wizkids minis from Attack Wing.. but the scale was non-existent and that drove me nuts. Combined with Attack Wing never quite playing right… the system worked for X-Wing, as it was designed for dog fights, but it never felt right with Capital Ships.

first protoype for the Betazoid Tower thingies.

getting started on my 1:7000 scale Ferengi fleet.

Got some paint on my Federation Tank.

I am well aware that it makes no sense, even in the Trek setting it doesnt make sense… I dont care.

This weeks projects are all about the Fighters and Shuttlecraft in 28mm scale.

A few of these are older prints, that just got a bit of a touch up, and then some magnetized flight stands, as well as a few new bits still in progress.

The days are just screaming by. I cant quite figure out how half the month already flew past me.
