Over the weekend I was able to finish drilling the mount holes for the remaining Earth Alliance Miniatures and prime them. I managed to get the two Minbari Tinashi's done too, but not he remaining Vorlon destroyers and Shadow scouts. Guess those will have to wait for the spring. Dang, those are good looking ships.

Some pictures of the ancient galleys
I put up some pictures on Flickr of the ancient galleys. They are 1/900 scale and part of Valiant's Ramming Speed! line of naval miniatures.
Progress
Applied primer and tan base coat for the ancient galleys. I took some pictures before I primed them and applied the base coat. I'll post them when I can.
Drilled mount holes in the Minbari, Shadow and Vorlon ships. The Whitestar mount holes were fine.
Primed all of the Minbari in grey, primed the Vorlon ships in white and the Shadow battlecrabs in black. Primed the Whitestars in grey, then spray painted them silver.
Still have to drill holes in the Earth ships and prime them in grey. Then I will be prepared for winter.
Ancient Ships Built
I was able to finish building the remaining ancient ships. Priming and base coat are next.
On the workbench
Well, really not a workbench, more in storage in the cellar until I take them out and do something with them. Anyway, what I am prepping and painting.
For the ancient ships I have finished removing any flashing and have started to glue together:
- 12 Athenian Triremes
- 12 Phoenician Triremes
- 6 Quadremes
- 3 Heptares
For the Babylon 5 ships I have finished removing any flashing and have started to glue together and/or drill mounting holes for a number them including some whitestars, 3 shadow ships, 2 vorlon lt. cruisers and a bunch of earth alliance and minbari capital ships.
And I have put on hold some UK 1/285th armor that I have primed and have applied a base coat to. FV432s, Scorpions/Scimitars/Spartans/etc. I need to get the others built, primed and with a base coat before the cold weather comes.
