Finally, more pictures

Finally got off my lazy butt and took some pics. I've talked about the minis in previous posts so I'm just gonna post some pics

Up first, the first ship in the class, the Constitution.

Followed by the frigate, USS T. Roosevelt.

Next up is a Hasslefree Adventurer, Sadie, which will be used as part of a Free Company for 5150.





Got some CAV infantry stands on the table now and primed up a bunch of stuff today. Hopefully I'll be able to field a Ritterlich force soon.

Oh, you may notice that I've added some stuff to the sidebar. Basicially it's everything I have left that needs painting. Rough guess a little over 200 (don't have an exact count on how many IG still need painting) not counting terrain pieces. I think this is entirely do able by the end of the year. No particular reason, just want to get through as many as possible.

What a weekend!

Wow, it has been a busy one. First off, I got my first motorcycle over the weekend. Nothing fantastic, a 2003 Suzuki Intruder 800. All I gotta say about riding a motorcycle is go take the Basic Rider's Course now, get your license, and buy a bike....NOW! There were a lot of other things, but lets try to stay on topic.

As far as miniatures go, I played my first historical game on Saturday, Warhammer Ancient Battles to be precise. Having played 40k in previous years I wasn't totally unfamiliar with the concepts. I had fun. I played an alliance of Huns and Germanic barbarians against some late imperial Romans. I managed a win which is always welcome. May have to look into picking up some historical minis. Right now I'm going to hold off until Fields of Glory is released by Slitherine/Osprey and see how they compare to WAB and DBx. First purchase will most likely be next month, though I should probably start saving my hobby money for ReaperCon.

Did manage to do some work on minis. I came home from one excursion to find out that one of the kids had managed to separate a warp nacelle and strut from the engineering hull of one my Constitution class heavy cruisers. *sigh* So into the simple green it went. Applied decals to and matte coated a Federation frigate, the USS T. Roosevelt (NCC-312). Need to touch up some paint before it's ready for a photo shoot. Also got a start on applying decals to the USS Constitution (NCC-1700) herself. If any of you out there are using the ADB miniatures for Federation Commander or Star Fleet Battles do yourself a favor and order some decals from Starfighter Ace Decals. They look amazing. I couldn't help but hum the various musical cues from the original series as I was applying the decals they got me so into it. Yeah, I'm a geek, if you haven't figured this out yet reading my blog about miniatures you may have some issues to work out. That's 'bout it for now, maybe in a few days (not Wednesday though, that's small group night for our church) I'll have a pic or two of some Starfleet goodness.
