This is my Full Thrust FSE Fleet. Pretty happy with it. Conforms to the 3' rule at least. Possibly not my highest standard, but they were all done in about 8hrs which is super fast for me. Used the drybrush at bit, which felt a bit like cheating but I think it turned out ok. They are not particularly interesting models to paint. C&C welcome.

Nice! Been contemplating getting into FT a bit myself, what are the models like to work with?

Pretty good. They're metal and, apart from the two bigger ships, were all one piece. The ones that did need built went together pretty nicely with minimal green stuff filling. Minimal cleaning required. You should download the FT rules and have a read. They're free on the ground zero games website.

Yeah I had a skim read a while back, I'll have to go have a more detailed look at some point.

The vector movement rules brought in with fleet book 1 are awesome.

What's FSE?

Anyway, nice ships. I think they could do with some kind of contrast or spot colour, though. Running lights, or some kind of squadron markings? Something to break up the monolithic grey.

The grey is nicely done, though.

FSE - Federal Stats Europa.

And yeh, I have thought about a small accent colour. Was thinking about just a yellow stripe somewhere, or maybe blue, but couldn't decide. One may appear somewhere down the line.

And markings were something I also thought about. They would have to be tiny though.
