Ah, Babylon 5, I love it!

The Hyperions were always my favorite (and the Vree saucers!).  Great job!

Old topic, I know, but did you really do the deck with just Tau Light Ochre and Agrax Earthshade?  Because the varied wood appearance looks great!

I do my own decks with Rakarth Flesh and then Agrax Earthshade, but is always very consistent in coloration.

I think they look fine as is - a crisp, clean scheme. 

However, why green?  I know it's in the Hurricane Season book, but it wouldn't really fit with your fleet, right? 

So, I vote grey!

I have to say, I really love the contrast between the bright white and blue of the naval units and the greens and tans of the interceptor. 

Look forward to seeing more!

Also, did you cover Landlubber's first request about the heat lance anywhere?  Because I would like to see that, too!

Modeling Q&A / Re: Glue

So I tried to post about this earlier but my response got lost...sorry if this is a double post!

I know the OP is a little old but I was just going to add: I recently started DW with Russians, and for both the resin and pewter I have had a good experience using thin super glues. 

I have used both GW's super glue thin and $2-at-Walmart generic superglue, and both have worked fine holding the pieces together.  Not sure about crazy glue, though.

A good suggestion!  I will look into it - thanks.  I'll be sure to post any progress or work on it here!

@ Landlubber - thank you!  I hope to make it up to Fredericksburg for the Oct. 28 event at the Game Vault.

@ Ruckdog - the portability was a big issue, for sure - for storage and for movement in my sedan.  But now that they are finally dry (glazecoat takes a long time!) I was thinking about turning them over and doing land boards on the other side.  Maybe doing a part sea - part land coastline board.  I am just not sure yet how to seal in some static grass across an entire table.

Thanks for moving the thread - and thanks for the table.  Look forward to that match up!

Hey, Ian ("MajorMcNicol") here.  I just joined up - and I've just recently been getting into Dystopian Wars.  I have about 500 points of painted Russian Coalition (Naval) and am looking to expand into Canadian ground forces when released (and grow the Russian fleet, too). 

I am living in Williamsburg, a bit away from Fredericksburg, but I'm hoping to make it up there sometime.

I blog at http://andygomez.wordpress.com/ and I just posted about a Dystopian Wars gaming table I made.  Here are all my Dystopian Wars entries/pictures so far:

Glad to be on-board!

Modeling Q&A / Built a Naval Wargaming Table for Dystopian Wars

Hey, so this is my first post.  I hope this is the right board to post under! 

This weekend I built an ocean wargaming board. 

I did it as two 2' x 4' sections and finished it this weekend in less than a day.

Construction video and pictures here:
http://andygomez.wordpress.com/

I used the technique shown by RubbishInRubbishOut on youtube.

All in all, I think it turned out really nicely!  I look forward to the boards being 100% cured so I can move them around, put them side by side, try them out, etc.!

The glaze coat really ended up being a wonderful finishing touch.  The most important part of the project, however, was the second "highlight" of pale blue waves, which just brought the entire project together.
