Painted Dropfleet Commander space stations (more added March 27th, 2017)

I keep reading the ruler as "C-THLU" and expecting tentacles to appear.

No, no, that's all on this thread:

  Really need to do some more of those.

May I ask how you achieved the main greenish tinged hull colour?

I think it was a tan or pale gray base with a light wash of GW Athonian Camoshade over it, but I can't swear to that.  Pretty much just been painting them experimentally rather than following a single scheme, which is a break from all the other DfC stuff I've been painting lately.

Back to space stations again as I continue experimenting with what you can build out of this kit.  Orbital Power Station 766 is now online!



Big model, about 3" in diameter and height.

Really great models and a great paintjob. What did you use to create that yellow glow?

[Hobby Services]

On the little lighted bits all over the pillars and core reactor spheres?  It's a base of mercury orange with a teeny tiny dot of cadmium yellow on top.  Simple, but it takes a very small brush and a steady hand.

Ore Refinery Platform 7-KKX5 is online.



Bit smaller than yesterday's lot, but built out of a bajillion tiny parts.





Surprisingly sturdy thanks to the very clever modular design.

Very cool - I've no idea how big these are, what size is the black base?

[Hobby Services]

They're on the bigger cruiser/battleship DfC bases, which are 50mm diameter (the size of a heavy warjack base in WarmaHordes, if that helps envision it).  The smaller bases are still 35mm across, which isn't exactly puny either.  So, pretty big compared to the Full Thrust range stuff, more modest next to Firestorm Armada models, and fairly huge for Fleet Action scaled figs.

Another new station, Star Fortress Reynard is online:

Orbital Power Node 77K is online!  Another grimy industrial platform.











StarNet Relay Towers One and Two are online (but I still can't get FTL signal!):

Olympia Tower is online! 







Bigger, more complex build this time around, with more of an old-fashioned "spinner" feel to it.







About 5" long and mounted on a 50mm base.

Great looking stuff!

[Ballardian]

Very nice, I love the models for this game.

Thanks, been a fun project so far.  Another one, this time armed to the teeth:







This one's a bit of a cheat, since it uses some spare guns from the PHR cruiser sprue.  They do fit nicely.

WOW.... Great collection

WOW.... Great collection 

Given that they're paint-for-resale projects and most are living with other people now, "collection" isn't quite the right term for them.  But thanks, pretty happy with them.

As others have said before, great work. The paint jobs are very good and that Olympia Tower is quite the spectacle, I need one for my desk! These are impressive creations, I definitely need to pick at least one of these sets up for scratchbuilding in general. But I. Must. Stay. Strong..... *No, lead pile, please leave me alone*
