The Wraith Fleet

Another finished fleet: The Wraith!

These models are from Armory Hobbies, a canadian company that sells many Stargate designs, as well as BSG, too.

In case someone is interested, here is the paint scheme I chosed for them:

- Light Blue Primer

- Citadel Asurman Blue Wash

- Highlight with Vallejo Model Color Blue Violet

- Highlight with a mix of Revell Enamel light blue 50, Vallejo Blue Violet and Vallejo White, on a 3/1/1 ratio

- Another wash with Citadel Asurman Blue

- Engines on Vallejo Model Color Magenta Fluo

That's it for today, folks. The Aquarian fleet should be out of docks soon, too!

Ori Warships: The beginning of my Stargate Collection

Prior to leaving on a work travel, I managed to prepear one additional post to publish while away, so this blog wouldn't be lacking action for such a long period.

It is about my Ori Warships, which I finished painting.

They are made by Armoury Hobbies, a small gaming company from Canada. I thought of having more of them, but those ships are so powerful it's unlikely I'm going to use the 3 I already own on a single game.

This is the beginning of my Stargate collection. I still need a Wraith fleet, a Goa'uld fleet, an Ancient fleet and a Human fleet.

The Ori ship is my favorite spaceship ever, so I'm thrilled to finally have those on my collection. Looking forward to play with them! They are probably the most powerful vessels in my collection, even more dreadful than Borg Cubes (!)

More Space goodness

I had a happy surprise upon arriving home from work today: 2 Parcels were waiting for me. One of them was from Pahoota, owner of the Solipsist Wargaming blog. He was kind enough to send me 3 of his home made ships, which are pretty cool designs.

Check out the amount of detail Pahoota manages to put on those little goodies.

On the pic above, we have them next to a Micromachine's Warbird and ruler to give a sense of scale. They are about 2" long.

The other surprise waiting for me at home was my long awaited Ori ships from Armoury Hobbies.

They are huge, a little over 5", just as this massive vessels should be. Chris ships them primed already (don't really know why), and as you can see the paint is chipping off a bit. 

There is also some dust to remove, but nothing a quick bath won't do!

They have sufficient detail, and I'm overall quite pleased with them.

Here is a pic of one of these behemoths alongside the Warbird, for comparison:

Unfortunately, I'll be away the next 2 weeks, so I don't think I'll be able to work much on all those ships before I return. Still, it's good to know they will be here waiting for me on my paint desk!
