Surprise: The Other Fleet

 

At last the other fleet, after months... on checking back to my last spaceship fleet pot, nay four years... I finally got around to finishing these. I took the opportunity to varnish them whilst doing some other spraying.

 

I like to call this my Chris Foss Fleet, because how Chris Foss used to do multi-coloured spaceships that use to adorn so many SF book covers when I was young.

 

I originally painted these to portray merchant ships. At one time I had plans to run convoy games with the Green fleet as escorts. The reality is if I use them now it will be as privateers.


As per usual, clicking on the pictures to enlarge. And finally, the odd one out. A Galoob B5 Star Fury, which I had lying around and decided to tart up back four years ago because I could.

 
Ah well, at least they're done.

  1. Nice looking starships! I really dig the Terran Trade Authority vibe! Who's the manufacturer?

    1. An assortment collected over the years. QT Models from the Starforce 300 range, which later became part of the Citadel spaceship line, all to 1/10,000th scale

  2. Ah Chris Foss sci-fi illustrations, now that takes me back a good few years. I used to have a book on him but no idea what happened to it:(
