Where Shockforce is the king of skirmish games, Full Thrust is the king of starship battle games. I have a lot of different ships painted up, from a lot of different manufacturers, and I have yet to game with the vast majority of them. This will, I hope, change in the very near future.

And so it begins. One of the first starships that I ever painted, a Games Workshop Spacefleet Tyranid miniature. Notice the lurid pink paint job, the eyeball (complete with iris and pupil), the red racing stripes, the plastic flying stand.... It's a servicable paint scheme, but every time that I look at these ships I swear that someday I will go back and add details to them. Just don't hold your breath.

A plastic Imperial cruiser, from Games Workshops (relatively) new game Battlefleet Gothic. I don't own the game -- with Full Thrust, why would I need it? -- and I feel relatively certain that the ship that I have constructed does not match any of the approved designs...but so what? It looks pretty good, although the fluorescent bits don't show up too well in the scan.

A RAFM Traveller space station. It comes with a little shuttle that fits into the docking ring at the center of the station, but for some reason it refuses to scan. Spiffy, though, ain't it?

Another RAFM Traveller miniature. This one is a "Subsidized Merchant"; I'm using is as a luxury passenger liner.

| This is a plastic ship, produced by Fortress Figures. It is temporarily OOP, although this will probably change before too long. I had to chop off the original engine exhausts, which looked like a pair of oversized funnels, and replace them with two rings of plastic tubing. This looks much better. The (sadly unoriginal) name of the ship is a decal, made using decal paper and a printer that I do not, alas, have access to any longer. This isn't of my best paint jobs, by any means, but I can live with it. I've still got two of these ships waiting to be painted, and I expect to better things with them. |
This particular ship is my wife's favorite, for some reason. It's a very busy paint scheme, but it seems to work. It was made by Superior Models (I have several more of their ships, but the only other one that's been painted is Just Too Damn Big To Scan), and was called the "Sea Horse". Whatever its original purpose may have been, I'll be using it as a construction/engineering ship.
