I’ve been a long time Star Wars: Armada fan, but never really got into the game due to a lack of local players and the sliding scale that always seemed a bit off to me. After seeing some of the cool custom fleets in the forums here at 1/7000 scale, I decided to finally take the plunge and start building up my own Armada. At 1/7000, there’s something incredibly satisfying about holding an entire fleet in the palm of your hand! 😊
So far I’ve been designing my way up from the small ships to the big, and just loving how they’re coming out. I’m going to go back and up-detail a few of these, my initial accessorizing and paneling was a bit too shallow for the scale, but all in all it’s a great start!
Quasar, Arquitens, MC40, and Pelta are up next on the chopping block. And I’m keeping an eye out for the FFG MC75 and 80 and the VSD and ISD since they’re all roughly around 1/7000 already. Unfortunately everything seems sold out so I might need to keep my focus to the small ships for now.
Since I’ll soon be taking on the daunting task of learning to paint these little fellas, does anyone have any advice on painting something this small and bringing out detail? I’m eyeing GW’s Contrast paint line and would love to hear if anyone has any experience using it for painting starships!
Thanks for checking out this project and hopefully providing what feedback you may have, I’ll update the thread as I complete more ships and start painting!
