15mm Klingon and Romulan Conversions

Captain's Blog Stardate 201109.13
I have been working on converting some Astro Crew to Klingons and Romulans.

Steps:
First I sanded around the legs using files and added green stuff to make different pant styles. I also added a little green stuff to make sashes for some of the minis. I then did some head swaps using two of the Pointy Ear Head sprues for the Romulans and two of the Bearded/Musache/Goatee Head sprues for the Klingons. Finally, I changed out the weapons. I wanted the Romulans to have a more of an independent feel, so I used a different laser pistol than I did for the Klingons. Not quite TOS, but I like the look.

Klingons:




Romulans:




Hopefully I will get these painted up soon. I am planning on using them with 5150 New Beginnings when it comes out.

On a side note, my wife gave me the green light in ordering some Laserburn Adventurers and Star Soldiers currently featured over at Dropship Horizon. I have been eyeing them for some time to use in my games.

15mm Tribbles

I found these at Hobby Lobby today.

I soaked them in different colors to make them more tribble like.





Cacique Caribe on TMP posted a thread concerning 15mm tribbles, so this post is in honor of CC. Thanks for being my first customer.

15mm Terrain Pickup

I was shopping at Home Depot and decided to pick up these today for under $17.00.





I have to trim off some of the parts, but I think that they will look great when they are painted up.

My new hex map



My old felt hax map has seen better days and my regular opponent has been making comments about it's conditon in our last couple of engagements. Well, today when he showed up he had a supprise for me.




The map is regulation SFB/Fed Com tournament size and has a thick coat of polyurethane. The map has been placed on a 3/4" inch sheet of plywood and is heavy.
