Crimson Star Destroyer

 Another Revell model, couldnt be arsed with the usual grey scheme.

Space Ships

 Another fleet of ships knocked up. Mixture of metal and resin minis.

Federation Ships

 Another two starships repainted.

Federation Starships

 Another group of Federation starships, these ones are mostly repainted heroclixs and one old metal miniature.

Dropship

 Repainted Buzz Lightyear toy for use in sci-fi games. Might get some decals on it in the future.

Federation Cruiser

 Repainted Starship Enterprise to better match the rest of the ships I have been painting.

Federation Fleet Reinforcements

 Repainted Micromachines and Heroclix miniatures to add to the Federation fleet.

Federation Fleet

 A mixture of ships from Brigade Model's and some older castings I picked up from Battlegrounds in Nov 2022. The BM miniatures are real nice crisp castings, looking like a mix of Star Trek and Battlestar Galatica. The older miniatures, the ones with saucer sections, are bad castings, real bottom of the barrel, with poor detailing, not surprising as some of them look like they have a sculpt date of 1992.

Imperial Star Destroyer

 Another Revell Star Destroyer, did something a little different this time and painted the hanger. If I get another one, might paint it red, or green, or some other color than grey!

Revell Imperial Star Destroyers

A pair of Revell Star Destroyers, cheap and cheerful kits, that used to come in bags, but have been repackaged in larger boxes, they are still super cheap, £8 as of time of typing.

The whole fleet as it currently stands.
 

Rebel Blockade Runner

 A quick and dirty repaint of a Hot Wheels toy, its not in scale with any of the Star Destroyers I have, but thats not to big an issue.

Star Blazers 2205 Great Imperial Garmillas Desula the 3rd

Small but highly detailed model kit I picked up from my local comic shop. It could be built as a carrier, a battleship or armed with some huge cannon. I went with the warship look. its also supposed to be painted bright red.

The Desula alongside a Venator.
 

Titanium Series Star Destroyer

Another addition to the Imperial fleet. This model is a little smaller than the Hot Wheels ships I picked up at the start of the year, but is larger than the old Micro Machines ship.

Hot Wheels Star Wars Ships

 Recently various toy's from the Force Awakens have started hitting the shelves in discount super markets here in the UK, among them are spaceships from Hot Wheel's. Now the fighters are far to big to be of any real use, but the capital ships are nicely sized.

 Imperial and First Order Star Destroyers, fairly well detailed and easy to to paint up with a bit of dry brushing.

 This is a First Order Troop Transport, they made it around the same size as a Star Destroyer. Its nice and chunky, and I could really see this as a bulk cruiser, or a carrier in games of Full Thrust or the like.

Hot Wheels ships alongside on of the De Agostini Destroyers that were released a few years back, they scale up fairly well together, though I think the Hot Wheels ships are more detailed.

Federation Fleet (Johnny Lightning)

 I picked up a bunch of Johnny Lightning Star Trek ships from the Red Alert series, a battle damaged NX Class Enterprise, an OS battle damaged USS Enterprise, Motion Picture USS Enterprise, Wrath of Khan battle damaged USS Enterprise and a matching damaged USS Reliant.

                                                                     Damaged sections

These ships are bigger than the the MicroMachines, Futura and Heroclix ships I have, but seem to match almost perfectly for the Running Press light up Enterprise I picked up the other week.

For someone who prefers Star Wars to Star Trek, I sure have a hell of a lot of Trek ships.

USS Enterprise (Running Press)

 I found this on Amazon, though WHSmiths also sell them. The original series USS Enterprise, it comes prepainted with all markings applied. its a lovely well detailed kit for its size. On top of all the saucer section lights up.

The Running Press Enterprise alongside the Futura refit Enterprise. I should point out that this kit costs £5.59 from Amazon.co.uk, though some crafty buggers are trying to sell them on ebay as an exclusive from the Eaglemoss Star Trek magazine, with prices upwards of £20!

Revell Star Destroyer

I managed to pick up one of the 1:12300 scale Pocket Models. It was a piece of cake to fit this together, a quick wash of black wash and then a dry brush of grey was enough to have it ready to join the rest of the fleet. However the Revell kit dwarfs the De Agostini Destroyer, guess I have found my flagship.

Micro Machines Star Destroyer

 As most people know, Micro Machines released a number of play sets for both Star Wars and Star Trek in the 90's, though as was the case for all Micro Machine toys, matching scales wasn't a high priority. They pop up on eBay from time to time, though it seems its getting harder and harder to buy Star Destroyers.

This miniature, while nice seems to be showing its age, most of the sharp edges have been rounded down and scuffed, while the bridge section looks like it has been pulled off and glued back on in a rather haphazard way.

The Micro Machines Star Destroyer alongside the De Agostini Star Destroyer, I guess the smaller vessel would be classed as a cruiser?

Pirate Fleet

 Two Cruisers and three Destroyers from Ground Zero Games, Ravagers faction for Full Thrust, painted in a menacing red, with blue solar panels  as they would need to operate for long periods without refueling awaiting prey....At least that makes the most sense to me fluff wise.

Scale comparison for the ships I have. The Star Destroyer is possibly classed as a Battleship, while the USS Intrepid would be classed as a Destroyer (or a large Frigate). EDIT: The StarDestroyer comes from DeAgostini, and Intrepid comes from Heroclix.

Imperial-Class Star Destroyers (De Agostini)

 Two more Star Destroyers, again from the De Agostini part works magazine that came out a few years back. These things pop up on eBay, and are generally cheap enough and are very well detailed.

 The ships come prepainted gray, but I decided to try a little experiment with them. The first ship I coated in black wash, allowed to dry and then dry brushed light gray across it, I think this helps give the ship a more weathered, used look.

 The second ship I actually picked out the detail with black wash and again dry brushed with gray. While this still looks good, I think it gives the ship a more newer, just off the production line look.

The task force as it stands, I'm not sure if the Venator is supposed to be the same length as the Imperial class, but it looks good so that's good enough for me.
