Awesome set of ships, I have some of those bad boys on my to-do list.

Do you have a colour scheme in mind?

I plan on going the way of the studio scheme. Green, lighter highlight and some red sprinkled in. And blue glow effects. Will try it out on the destroyers to see if it pleases my eye. :)

And i need more frigates, to field a pure veydreth battlefleet.  8)

Sounds Awesome Britmat. I have always liked the studio scheme.
I look forward to seeing progress updates

Good luck getting more frigates. It won't be easy with the shutdown

Looks good so far. I am currently deciding on what coor to use for the glow effects. Any suggestions?

Ooohhh very nice. They look Awesome

Suggestions for the glow. I don't know. I use bright blue on my Green Relthoza.
Yellow could be great with your colours. Maybe Violet.
Hold up the paint bottle to the mini and see what you think

After a conversation with the "more-painters-than-players" in my gaming club and after looking at a color circle, the decision was made for orange:

For the blue glow option, one of the commetns was: "Rot, grün, blau, trägt des Kaspers Frau."  ;D (with "Kasper" being this little guy: (http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2333/2079317948_8ac28b9b8e.jpg) )

Excellent work. The Orange Glow has come up great.
Awesome Veydreth.

My Veydreth have floated into my Painting Table recently.
I have a basic concept, but am still working on the details

I look forward to seeing the rest of your fleet.

Hmmm, could of it been you that snatched that Sorylian box before me. Seen a Bastion set on a site based in Germany,  went to get them and they were gone!! within the last two weeks ago.

Looking forward to seeing them all made and painted.

I am from germany. Whem i finally decided to get that box, all german shops went out of stock. This box i found on a czech web shop, also their last one.  :)

For now i am on vacation, so progress on the painting table will have to wait 2 weeks.

Ah right maybe not then. Was it ogří doupě?, just out of interest. :)

Have a good, safe vacation.

Thats the shop, yes.  ;D

Ah, it was!, lol . Tried to get some stuff from them as well. But they were a bit iffy, not rude, just uncertain and generally don't  post to the UK for some reason. They never got back to me in regards to special delivery etc. Oh well, not so important now I guess. 

As WA said, looking forward to your progress.

So, between me getting home from work and the kid and wife getting home from children choir i managed to get the other two cruisers basic green and then a second layer on them. :) Will start shading and highlighting them tonight.

Some progress on the cruisers, shade and drybrush done, next is edge highlights. :)

And i found a secret stash of Spartan minis in the vault of our club, so more corvettes could be acquired.  :)
