Subject: Paint scheme
I just purchased a pretty good size fleet of ESU ships (some of which will be kitbashed to make new classes) to add to a large invasion force which are going to be deployed against a NAC/FSE alliance. Most of the ships I have been using are only painted with a base coat of white or grey primer. I have not had time to paint them, every time I think I'll have some spare time I end up using the ships in a FT game (much more fun than painting). But now I have committed my fleets to three convention demos/scenarios, as well as a Third Solar War campaign. I figure its time to paint my fleet. What I was wondering is what are some of the various paint schemes used on ESU/NAC/FSE ships. I have read the FAQ and it gives some good info, but I just thought that I would ask around. I plan on painting my ESU ships with a base coat of Ral Partha Colonial Green, with Poly S Interior Green and Med. Green as secondary colors. The models will be washed with a Colonial Green/black for depth and shadows and the drybushed with Colonial Green/Interior Green for highlights. I also plan to use various contrasting light browns/Dull for accents and a red star painted on the wings. Finally I am going to seal with gloss, and a light black wash for detail, and a final coat of lusterless. So thats my idea, what do ya think. Thanks in advance.
