Kuznetsov finally completed!

I have finally finished the Russian carrier Kuznetsov, and in support is the Typhoon class sub Dmitri Donskoi. Cool models, but both were WAY more labor intensive then I ever imagined they would be, and this will mark the end of any warship models for a while (although, I do think the little 1/2400 fleet models would be cool - see here USS Enterprise and here Bismarck)

Anyway, here are some pics - first one, I monkeyed with a background.  I need to do some more work on a background for pics, because I think it would make a difference on painted soldiers.

The rest are some random pics. Notice the sea - I think it turned out well too.

USS Rhodesia

I dont have any good pictures of my Lt Commander class ship, the USS Rhodesia, NCC 92477-A. Im about to move up to the Commander level, and will be getting a new ship, but for now, here are some pics of the Rhodesia...

A hit to February totals

I just found out yesterday that Im waiting on the Xyston spears I ordered, as well as the mounted Spartan general and the musicians. This order was to complete my small unit of 15mm Spartans which I have finished as much as I can. My Completed February totals will now take a hit...

Current WIP - 15mm Spartans

Guess I got on a Spartan kick.  Anyway, here are 16 15mm Spartan minis Im working on.  I know the pics are bad - Ill get better ones when they are done.

and their shields:

Ive got a mounted Spartan general, as well as musicians, on the way. They will go with these guys.

Panzer from Flames Of War complete!

Star Trek Online - Stardate Feb.6.2010

Cool - Klingon weapon research base in the snow

The away team, led by T'Chal, my character

And a couple from the last night of open beta - The Borg Invasion. Three borg cubes...I got ripped 1 minute after this pic. Two phaser shots from the cubes, and I was dead.

Borg probes - these were a LITTLE more manageable than a cube, but not much...lots of ships hitting this one in this pic

Bought some new stuff

Quick note to update my February totals.

I bought a pack of Xyston 15mm Mounted Spartan Generals (4) $5.25 and a pack of 15mm Greek musicians (5) $5.25 to finish off my 15mm spartan unit.
