Domo Arigato Mr Mugato

Captain's Blog Stardate 201204.17




Well Almost. I wanted some rubber suit aliens so I ordered some from Khurasan Miniatures

Also, I had ordered some 1/2 inch rounds from Game Crafters and started basing my miniatures on them.

Borg sighted at sector 001

Captain's Blog Stardate 201204.15

I got the minis in that I ordered from 15mm.co.uk in the other day. I think that it took less than two weeks for the order to arrive.

I also ordered these from Kremlin Minatures at the same time. I received an e-mail from Russ stating that they were air mailed. I am expecting them tomorrow :)

Talk about fast service from both companies!!!







On a side note, a Hobby Town opened up in my neighborhood last week. I an excited because now I am able to buy styrene and other harder to find hobby supplies locally instead of ordering it online. We have a Hobby Lobby, Michael's and a couple of comic book/hobby stores, but nothing that carries modeling supplies like Hobby Town. The cool thing is that the store is about a 10 min walk from the house and is on a fun route for my son and I because we can also walk by the local coulee for an adventure.

15mm Borg Ship

Captain's Blog Stardate 201204.08








My wife was kind enough to give me some time off today while she took care of our sons. As a result, I was able to put together a new gamming board. I still need to paint it up.
I am planning on playing a TOS Borg/Zombie game in the future, so I ordered some Zomborgs from Kremlin Miniatures and some Cyborg Enslavers from 15mm.co.uk to use as Borg.

Battle for Retsae II

Captain's Blog Stardate 201203.15

Got in a game of Away Team in the other night. We played a three way free for all, so I didn't take notes of the game(too much going on), but I did take some pictures.

Klingon Landing Party

The Klingon Landing Party moves into position behind a holding tank.

The Federation Away Team maneuvers between two buildings.

The Romulan Landing Party makes a dash for cover.

The Federation Away Team splits into two teams.

New USS Enterprise and Klingon Battle Cruiser

Captain's Blog Stardate 201203.04

I bought Star Trek Expeditions for the ships the other day.



I kept the original mounting hole for both ships, but for the USS Enterprise it left the ship unbalanced. I had to use a weight in the stand to balance it.



The Enterprise needs a repaint.

On a side note, I recently purchased a game called Star Explorer. The game is based on the Star Trek theme and can be played solo. I haven't had a chance to read the rules yet, but it looks fun.

15mm Alien Plant Life

Captain's Blog Stardate 201202.26

I went to Hobby Lobby with my wife yesterday and she picked out some plants for my board.

I decided to paint the bases black, that way I can use the plants on my green and tan boards as well. I may find something to glue around the bases to hide it.
