They're very simple figures and originally I wasn't keen on them but they paint up nicely and the clear versions are a definite bonus. I fear my photography skills don't show them at their best, they pop a lot more in real life. Oh well. Once this round is over I'll experiment with some different backgrounds and such.
As for the ships, I'm always amazed at people that can paint such tiny things so well. I hate straight line models and try to avoid them. I know the Minbari aren't strictly 'straight line' sculpts but the same principles apply. it's a close run thing.
