Got this one in a trade a while back, based up for use in Full Thrust as a capital ship or space station (it's pretty "orbital" looking to me):

Appears to be a Firestorm Armada model, specifically a Directorate Tormenter-class R&D cruiser.

Nice looking sculpt with plenty of detail, which I've tried to accentuate with a very basic color scheme and careful highlighting.

Do kind of wonder about just what kind of "R&D" is going on aboard a ship class called the Tormenter, though.

Are they some sort of space-going vivisectionists or something? Clockwork Orange in Space?

That does make a very nice station on its own. And a very cool understated almost monochrome paint scheme. Never works for me when I try to do that. lol

Thanks. If there's a trick to that style of painting it's to keep the edge contrasts very sharp and go light on the ink wash. Mostly just a matter of practice to get it right, I think.
Which is like most things in life, isn't it? :)
Oh, and another figure, this one a kitbashed Stargate Nexus or Eldar Webway Portal, depending on how Gothic your Battlefleet happens to be.
