What you're looking at (aside from the patches) are 2 Shadow Omega Cruisers and an Earthforce Civilian Transport. The Shadow Omega Cruisers are ones I see from time to time, and while it would take some digging I know I'd eventually find one. The real treasure here is the transport. For the past several years I've been looking at Babylon 5 Wars, and there was a point where they were picked up by Mongoose Publishing. When I did my original order the Civilian Transport was one I remembered seeing, but when I went looking for it I couldn't find it. It started to become mythical, and I was feeling kinda down because you see it show up in a lot of episodes. The point is that my friend came across one, and it is now mine!
There's a LOT of cleaning up that needs to be done. Flash to be removed, and I've already had one issue with glue. I'll talk more about that later though. The other piece I got is the Shadow Omega:
Going to need to do a lot of fiddling with these two cruisers. At a glance it looks like there's only two points for attaching the fiddly bits that compose the "shadow" portion. I'll have to do some research into these before I really dig into them, but for now I'm going to put them to the side.
With all good finds there is a price. My friend is rather fond of doing trades, and this time around is no exception:
27 Bretonian Archers, a Shadow Omega Cruiser of his own, and a handful of WWII German Tanks which will probably find their way onto an OGRE battlefield. I've been doing some experimenting with my paints and if things go well I may be able to start taking commissions a bit more regularly. I just have to see if I've improved my painting speed, but I'll talk about that next time.
