Wave 1 Imperials done, 6 interceptors short but they are sending me the missing parts so I might paint 'em up in a nice red scheme when they land just for something different

The 'Emperor's Wrath' stops off to take on supplies before 'educating' the local system on the advantages of Imperial rule!

Made up a destroyed version of the QX style platform, this is what happens when Lord vader calls and you have rich tea instead of Hobknobs...be warned!

That's great. Really great.

Still waiting to hear how this stuff plays. See problems with 'overlapping.'

But then maybe you don't know how it plays because you're too busy actually making and painting it.

He must be painting like a crazy man. I'm a decent modeller myself but this stuff is well beyond my skill level - hats off pal!

...and get some stations on your site so I can buy one! :D

1) Remove Station and Peg

2) Overlap as normal :)

bulldog, whenabouts are you looking to put these up on the webstore? I yearn for them!

Hi mate, they should be up there now I believe :) In the meantime....

I have also been working on another expansion set for the Space station we sell. This set turns it into a big beefy command post type base, stands nearly 12 inches tall!
pretty useful in a lot of systems, for instance I will be putting it to work in trek, Armada and Halo fleet battles in the future!

Fully backwards compatible with our previous upgrade sets too, I'm a gamer at heart and I love having OPTIONS! building different variants and making the rules for them is fun too!
The upgrade kit consists of the following, the lower arms simply slot over the little nubs and sit comfortably in place and if you take the time to pin or magnetise the upper structures they can be simply replaced as need be...magic!

Halo and Star Trek on a Star Wars board! BLASPHEMY!

I like to live in the edge :P

I love the little transports on Hoth! And the totally to-scale snowspeeder lol

The local system scallywags meet up at the communal Scum base for coffee & cakes and to discuss the upcoming wave 2 and just who they will be siding with...had lots of fun making some ickle uglies yesterday! smile emoticon

Bulldog wins the Red Green award of excellence on these Uglies.

There's a beautiful mix of shapes and frames that range between 'Exceptionally cool' and 'Golden Era sci-fi genius' to 'the Clampetts'. The Pelican (X-wing fuselage and the Y-wing engines) is one I adore, and the Crimson Xerceptor looks like it could be a real sith fighter. But that Mirror B-lade (six-winged B-wing) needs to be a thing. Seriously.

The half-and-halfs I love for their almost undeniable homely charm. There's something about them that makes me think of a mix of choking carburetor sounds and the highest pitched scream that humans can hear. External audio amps must go crazy when the S&V folk pull into town.

That Victory is all kinds of cool, I was thinking how to do something like that a few days ago, but I didn't want to detail the interior when I have such a horrid project already on my plate. I wish I could say more, it deserves more words, like... two-thousand sixty-nine more at least. I like the blue in the open winglets, blue was an interesting choice on the interior, I think I like it.

Oh, and something-something-something about an absolutely wonderful paint job in addition to some fantastic work ;)

Wow! Nice looking K-Wing you got there! Ingenius!

While I appreciate the effort and skill, those uglies are the dumbest thing I've ever seen:)

I'm loving the uglies. Someone mentioned wanting them in Armada on a post a few months back and I thought it would look stupid. But the paintjobs you gave them really bring them to life. I 100% want these in game now. I just wish I had the skill/patience to paint that well.

Wow, Uglies, and a Red Green reference on the same day defore i had my coffee! Going to be a great day

That jungle planet is just gorgeous! And its moon is cool too.

That's no moon! More like a binary system, given the size ratios.

Wow, first I've seen of any of these models - brilliant! Those uglies are the most stupidly brilliant thing I've seen in Armada yet!

Saw a few pics of a style of space station I have always liked in one of my Diagostini falcon mags, just had to make it! 25cm span...its a biggy and will make a brilliant centrepiece for our games! the arm disks can be exchanged for a weapon variant and then simply pop on your weapon of choice smile emoticon I have pinned and magnetised mine as I intend to slap a few spare pods around with the lump hammer and create a destroyed version much like our smaller model. I have included an Armada ISD & Halo CAS in a couple of pictures for scale

Wave 4 touch ups, usual stuff, quick bit of shading and picking out the details, really nice models these!
