You just gave me an idea for a ship to try and scratch build to occasionally have "pop" up in my Games.<br /><br />A TT Type 40, Mark 3 with a malfunctioning Chameleon Circuit causing it to be stuck as a Blue British Police Box. Granted the thing would be the size of a speck of dust if it was in scale, though mine will be a tad larger more for aesthetics, so that you can make out what the ship actually is. Will just have to figure out its stats for Full Thrust and 5150 Star Navy.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15489223839111201068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2556126903764105050.post-13179577491586222882013-05-23T18:59:38.135+01:002013-05-23T18:59:38.135+01:00If I'd had more time to think about it, I migh...If I'd had more time to think about it, I might have added some more possible objectives, including one where both sides could win by making peaceful contact.

Seems like a more nuanced approach by the alien player could have really put a wrench in it for the Federation Admiral.Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15428727065347379281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2556126903764105050.post-44487874204255168522013-05-23T07:59:43.994+01:002013-05-23T07:59:43.994+01:00Great report!

However, it seems they have so many other lines as well that this cannot easily be determined.<br /><br />As for basing, my older ships are on Games Workshop flying bases. The really old ones are unpainted (clear), the later ones are coloured black. My more recent ships are on 25mm steel washers, again painted black.<br /><br />Thanks for the kind offer of dimestore ships. I do appreciate this, but I suspect that postage costs would make it unrealistic. I've discovered that I could buy 144 of these in Europe for just over £15, though I'm really too busy to deal with even a few at the moment.Colgar6https://www.blogger.com/profile/07636662295301222390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2556126903764105050.post-90076114460212504072013-05-23T04:04:34.923+01:002013-05-23T04:04:34.923+01:00Nice BatRep.

Looking forward to seeing more of your Starships and your Zombies.<br /><br />Just so you know when I was in communication with Irregular Minis askign some questions about ships I wasnt able to find images of I mentioned you as the source that led me to them and helped me decide to place my initial ship order for their minis.<br /><br />Also what do you use for your Starship bases, it looks liek you have 3 or 4 different ones.<br />Also if you are interested in a couple of the plastic "dimestore" ships I have coming let me know, since I will be getting 144 of then I am willing to send some your way. Just let me know. Hopefully they will be arriving tomorrow. If you do want a few it might be a week or so till I can get them out in the mail, most my extra spending $$$$ went to my Irregular Minis order.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15489223839111201068noreply@blogger.com
