15mm Starfleet Uniforms



Captain's Blog Stardate 201303.22

 

I decided to paint up a few Astro Crew figures in different Starfleet uniforms due to a conversation on TMP. 

 

 

 

These are the tools I used to convert these minis from the Astro Crew.  The scissors were used to cut a small strip from the fingernail file.

 

These are the paints I used.  As you can see they are craft paints.  I used a watered down wash of GW's Devlan Mud on the tan sections of each mini to give it more definition.

To convert the TWOK figure, I sanded down the V neck on the original figure. I left the bottom of the shirt to leave a guide for the belt. I painted the bottom part of the shirt gloss black and painted a red section under the shirt to give the apperance of a longer tunic.

 

 

To convert the TNG figure, I sanded down the V neck to blend in with the shirt and the bottom part of the shirt to blend in with the pants.

 

To convert the DS9 figure, I sanded down the V neck to blend in with the shirt and the bottom part of the shirt to blend in with the pants.  For the phaser, I used the fingernail clippers to cut the pistol down and then sanded it down to the appropirate shape.

Here are some comparison pics of other minis that I decided to show due to this thread on TMP.

These are Battlestations figures.  They are a little on the pricey side, but that is because they are character figures.  The only problem I have with them is the base size (too big in my opinion).  The third mini from the left is an Astro Explorer.

I would like to thank Mike (Rebel) and David (Splitered Light) whom I both met at Origins in 2009? I was participating in a Fed Com tournament and ran across their booth and became hooked on 15mm ever since. 

 

 I would also like to thank Jon (Khurasan) for getting me started in producing 15mm figures through our discussions of a Trek style crew.

 

 

 

Catalog of My 15mm Tables

I decided to Catalog my gaming tables:

 

This is my SFB/FED Com board.   It is tournament size.

 

The following are pictures of my Game Craft Miniatures buildings 

  

 First floor.

Second floor. 

 

My mining facility. The domes were made using large Easter eggs and the pipes were from a bug habitat.

 

My electrical box city.

 

My Borg board made from a pizza box.  

 

My jungle board with pyramid. The trees are made from drinking straws with aquarium

plants glued on the tops. 

 

My forest. This one is a small board. 

 

My river with wooden bridge.  

 

I could not fix the orientation of the picture on this one, but this is part of my desert board.

 

 

My fountain.

 

 

Made from this and paint.
