Well, I finally managed to get two test-ships painted. They look better in person, as the flash tends to wash out the depth.




Comparison-shot of 2 resin Dreads (mine), 1 metal Dread (Studio Bergstrom), and 1 Modified Nebulon-B (SWMB)



It was hard to decide what color to make the drive flare, since I was torn between an "angry" red, or this "happier" light blue.



Paintjob was accomplished thusly;

Spray-prime in Black (Krylon Ultra-flat Black)
Base-paint in Charadon Granite (GW Foundation)
Dry-brush in Codex Gray (GW Paint)
Wash in Badab Black (GW Wash)
Drive-flare done with a mix of Prussian Blue and Titanium White (Liquitex Artist Acrylics)


This achieves a decent table-top standard, considering I'm painting over 200 of the things, though the Katana will receive extra detailing, as will the extras for the Rendili Home Defense Fleet.

I may try to convert a few into Assault Frigates eventually, but that will wait until I have finished molding the first couple of hundred. For those of you that haven't been reading my blog, I'm attempting to recreate the Katana fleet, amongst other things.

Nice ships Any chance of a link to the game system you use?

Full Thrust. There's plenty of guys over on Star Ranger that game Star Wars, but unfortunately, the forums are down. I suggest checking them out once the forums are back up, if you're interested.
