New pictures!!
Posted by Cpt.Stover on Sunday, June 30, 2013 3:46 PM

Hello everyone!!  I am new to this and wanted to tell everyone thank you for welcoming me. Here is a small example of some of my work.  Ent.-d  & Voyager & Defiant  have a paintings on the base that i did as well. I was trying to give each buyer somthing unique. I have many more pictures. I will post some new photos of DS-9 that i have been worrking on.  Am trying to light it and it has been a nightmare hiding wires. I havnt seen to many of these with lights so Im hoping for a good response on eBay.  Any way Hope you enjoy!! Let me know what you think. Cpt.Stover

That's quite a fleet you've got going there, Captain.

And---the D has always been my least favorite Enterprise, but your version ROCKS! Almost like a Fulcrum scheme on a Federation flagship. Well done! Lighting and bases also first-rate.

The ships are quite impressive.  What impresses me more are your bases!  Holy mother of sci-fi!  The Enterprise D and Defiant bases look amazing!  I hope you got a good penny for your efforts on these.  If my Enterprises turn out half this good I'll be happy.  

Are the Aztec designs and other patterns all hand painted as well or are they all decals?

Thank You!!!   All of my ships are painted I dont use decals for the any of them. Except of course the ones that come with the kit.  I know alot of the new ships are coming with aztec decals but I have not built any of them yet. For awhile I was hand painting the aztec on the Ent.-D but then I discovered the masking that cultman had for sale and I started using that instead. It takes longer with the masking but the straight line are worth it.  Thank you for the compliment on the bases. Like I said I try to give each build somthing unique for each buyer. Ive always loved painting. When I was in 5th grade my teacher discovered my talent and had an art student from collage come in once a week and sit with me to hone my skills. I had to keep my grades up of course so that was a problem some times. But I cant take credit for the talent it runs in my family. My aunt is an artist and paints as well so I guess I get it from her.  Thanks Again!

That is some seriously good work, Cap'n. Didn't really know scale model Federation vessels could be made to look this good.

I am also in admiration of your bases. These all deserve a 'Wow'.

Thank You TD4438 Once you light one of these things you will never go back. It makes them seem more real, especially when they are lit in the dark!!

Wow!!! How did I miss these!?! Beautiful work! Love how good the aztec detailing came out, and the lighting looks great!!! I've got a couple of those and if they come out 10% as well as yours I'll be thrilled.
