Awesome work! I wish I had the metrics for mine but I deleted all my Meta accounts.

I don't think I could commit to painting so many in a single scheme. Looks great!

Still have my disc's and I am looking to frame the map that came with it.

Alpha Strike is a little more streamlined and rules light. Same flavor but plays faster and removes a lot of the crunch! Don't give up on it yet!

Having a BG3 makeover of the gold box classics would be incredible.

Fishing line is not something I considered. I use brush bristles from cheap Amazon "boar" hair brushes.

Getting the antenna on this is my personal goal for 2026. Those holes are soooo tiny and shallow. I keep blowing them out with my little drill!

Also my plan! Not with a milling machine just a careful bit of power drilling 😬

How was the fit on the turrets? I got 2 boxes and none of them stay on the bases or the towers. The tower and the bunker do not stay on the hex bases either.

Thanks! I do not usually do multi-step canopies because I am not very good at the glazing. These were probably my best ones to date and I did have fun doing them. Everything easier with practice right?

I generally like to run full formations for the tournament. It makes it hard to get lower skilled pilots in, but it feels better than having an odd number of units for me. The 1st FedSun Armored Cav was my painting competition submission.

Those winglets look like the same ones from the Corsair ASF.

1. You only fail a pirate point once
2. The Nagelring acceptance is largely political and our heroes generally seem to be the troublemakers. LC Generals are considered ineffective because they are very inside to box thinkers.
3. I remember a certain pirate who was not a fan.
