Clifford's fleets of fancy

[clifford 43]

It's been a while since I've posted on this forum, but in the cyclic nature of these things my gaming group is getting back into some good fleet action fun and I'm getting some lovely chunks of resin painted.

First up is a cruiser for my communist space lizards:

 

[Brimat 176]

Striking color scheme.

[clifford 43]

Why, thank you.

 

Prior to this I'd been painting some 15mm historicals in various shades of muddy brown, so this was pretty much an excuse to break out the bright & gaudy.

Fluff wise many lizards use bright colours as part of threat displays, so I can always argue these guys do the same.

Very Nice!

but I am going to need more than one photo. 

Awesome painting like that needs lots of pics

[clifford 43]

Thanks for the kind words, folks.

Well, the rest of the squadron is done:

Next up is the frigates.

Looks good, what color is that green/blue, looks almost verdigris?

 

[clifford 43]

It's p3 "arcane blue". It's closer to turquoise.

The combination of full sun and a phone camera have added a slight sheen to the colour.

[Skyhawk 290]

It reminds me of a armour shader in Destiny called glowhoo. Other than the fact I need my sunglasses they look good. More pictures are required however.

[WestAustralian 818]

Lovely Colour, very Photogenic 

really crisp, clean finish

keep up the excellent painting, and posting of pictures 

[clifford 43]

Thanks for the comments folks.

Aaand the small are done:

 

And I managed to find time for this big girl, too:

Comments & feedback are always welcome.

Great stuff! I take it you used grey and white highlight for the "metal" rather than silver? Never tried that, myself. May have to have a go at some point.

 

[clifford 43]

Yes, I did. I'm not sure I've got the "metal" right here.

I suppose I could always argue they're manufactured from advanced polymers & ceramics rather than metal.

[WestAustralian 818]

Fantastic finish Clifford well done. 

I really like the Ceramic look. I may have to steal it for mine. 

Excellent Brushwork. Keep painting up a storm

[Skyhawk 290]

Looks good. I didn't need my sunglasses this time. Can't wait to see you next pictures!

Oh no, Its horrible! I can't give you any likes!! I'll have to wait until tomorrow.

[clifford 43]

Well, I've painted the Sorylian patrol fleet, so I've moved on to something for the bad guys:

[Botticelli 134]

Nice colour scheme!

[WestAustralian 818]

Excellent work on the Directorate Good Guys. I did not spot any bad guys though...

you have done a fantastic job with the details and cleanliness on all your ships. I look forward to some photos of the Directorate and Sorylian together. 

[Bessemer 340]

Awesome stuff! Purple is the way to go with Directorate!

[clifford 43]

The directorate ships seem to paint up really quickly & after struggling to transport the Sorylians I've started using "widgets" to make the stands removable.

Some Directorate frigates:

 

And some drones, too:

[WestAustralian 818]

Nice speedy work on your small ships. 

They have come up awesome. I look forward to seeing the Force all together. And some Sorlyian with Directorate shots too please. 

Keep up the awesome painting 

[Skyhawk 290]

Looking good! Keep'em coming.

[clifford 43]

Thanks for the complements folks.

Two more directorate ships done.

Those are rather big guns.

Our club's regular Terran player has agreed to give me a game. He's never played against directorate but he is very fond of his shields & shield cruisers. He might be in for a surprise.

@WestAustralian pics of the two fleets together are coming - I just want to get a few directorate done first.
