Battlefleet Gothic ships

From Apollo and Soyuz, to Gerry Anderson, Irwin Allen, Star Wars and Trek to Babylon 5, Battlestar Galactica and those strange, doe-eyed Japanese school girls...to any model kits you can think of, that only exists in imagination.

You have a URL tag wrapped around an IMG tag, probably more PB wierdness. I can fix that for you.
Your images are also too big, our current limit is 800 pixel wide -- BUT, GUESS WHAT, we were going to bump that up tomorrow night, so I'll do it this evening and all should be well ....

I'll second that! They look really good :-D

Nice to see your work at last, the links to Photobucket you had posted never seemed to work for me :roll:
Best wishes

I haven't got a clue about sci-fi wargaming but those pieces really do look excellent, that is some painting James. I've recently given up the ghost with PB which, after giving me no serious problems in five years of regular use, became a real pain in the neck last autumn with images taking an absolute age to post on here. I now use the forum's own post image function, which I have found to be quick, easy and hassle free but I believe that Chrome is required to use it.

Great work. I have no idea about wargaming but I can spot an excellent piece of modelling when I see it 8-)

That's a lot of detail, and painting thereof, for such little things - impressive !

More really great work James. Do these models come with a suggested colour scheme or is it all left to the painter's imagination?

colour schemes are up to the person painting.
some factions have colours which match them and their theme. but otherwise anything is a-okay

They look great James. Used to do a lot of wargaming myself back in the olden days.
