Latest addition to my Mcfarlane Warhammer 40K collection the AP version of the Ork Nob with Shoota and he’s a big chonky boy ,I’m really looking forward to painting this guy up 
who’s a pretty boy then
Next to a Primaris Reiver
And a Sister of Battle
Don’t get on that ship! … the rest of the book… “To Serve Man!” It’s a cookbook!!! 
Nice! 
Latest addition to the fleet. Finally found one for a reasonable price.
Will be building this with the refit parts, probably as the Columbia. It’ll make a nice partner for my other NX-01.
And got me a copy of the TOS Technical Manual!
Lot of cool stuff in here and some ideas for projects.
What’s saucer the count at this point? …
—mike
You should paint one up with “Invasion Stripes!” 
—mike …
Better count again Randy :
Perfect! 
Yikes…the sneak attack has begun!! 
Good eye 
No pics but I recently picked up two of David Doyle’s latest releases in his Legends Of Warfare series; the Panther and the K5 Railgun.
These aren’t the be-all end-all books on the topics but if you’re like me and want a good general reference on a particular subject these are very inexpensive and he is generous with photos and illustrations. I picked up both for less than $40. They are 128 pages, so it’s a bargain and he runs sales all the time. The armor selection is slowly growing but there are still lots of aircraft and naval options.
I already have some great references on the Panther but there are a lot of pics in this book I didn’t have in those others and I have many Panthers in my stash. There are a few photos of camo applications that look like the secondary colors were painted as one might a wall that I want to try and replicate instead of using an airbrush for the green and brown. Basically I’m going to make a 1/35 brush and simulate painting like I am actually standing there next to the tank with a bucket of paint at my feet. Make sense? I already built a Leopold but I haven’t made a proper base yet or completed the crew so I got it for photos of the gun in use to build a diorama around.
Also I have met David a few times when he comes into Atlanta for meets and he and his wife are nice people and I like to get my cash to the person who actually created the product whenever possible, so check him out at DavidDoyleBooks.com if you haven’t already done so.
Finally got my mitts on the interior set for the Gallileo Shuttle.
Only had a quick look in the box, but it looks great! The crew are nicely moulded. Faces could be a little sharper, but they do bear a good likeness of the original cast.
I might put this aside with the Shuttle for my summer holiday build. I might try a simple light rig to light up the interior, as I think it could end up being quite dark when buttoned up.
Now, if only they would do an interior for the DS9 Runabout?
Normally they make the faces a bit off for licensing purposes, but seeing as most of the cast has passed away I wonder if their families would be fussy about more authentic renderings of these TV icons?
I would think Shatner would love thousands of mini Kirks all over the world.
I’m sure Shatner would love little mini-me’s everywhere, especially if they brought in dollars!
Good point on that. It’ll be a challenge to paint them up. Luckily I have a lot of resources to hand to help out. The Spock and McCoy heads are really well done.
Although I can’t think of an episode where the entire bridge crew were aboard the shuttle! Wonder if it might be better going with the cast of the Gallileo 7 episode?
Can any be used on the Bridge set? Or are they the same figures?
They’re different figures. These are completely new tooled. That does pose an interesting question though. I have got the bridge set. When I get around to opening up the bags I’ll do a test in the bridge seats and see if they fit.
The Kirk, Spock and Sulu model figures are all pointing. I didn’t know they were German… 
I love the way Uhura has her hand on her earpiece. I’m sure these would fit the command deck set.
Wonder what they’re pointing at?
