Having seen what some other bloggers have done with theirs and provided better pictures than those on the eM-4 site, I decided the time was right to order some. <br />As for my first shuttle, it's attached to my single remaining flight stand and has to be less than 10mm long! Luckily, spacecraft aren't the most tricky things to paint, although adding detail toit may prove challenging.Carrion Crowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12243490491778253955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1308328551615343287.post-23703823319968496272016-09-23T11:16:32.437-07:002016-09-23T11:16:32.437-07:00You're very right Jez, I did indeed struggle t...You're very right Jez, I did indeed struggle to paint the two "Frostgrave" soldiers I assembled from their multi-part plastic box, and it was mainly due to the amount of kit I put on them [blush]. Though to be fair, I also felt their soft detail was a bit soul-destroying too.<br /><br />I'd certainly enjoy a mini-review of the "EM-4" spaceships when they arrive, as they certainly sound like a real bargain for the price you've paid, and presumably being plastic you don't have the weight issues metal minis seem to give me when trying to fix them to plastic flying bases.<br /><br />Your scratch built starships are very inspiring I must say, so I'm looking forward to seeing the shuttlecraft etc. I was kindly sent one of "Irregular Miniatures" ones for free with my last order, and they're dinky. So I look forward to seeing how you build and subsequently paint yours :-)Blaxklerichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06986635840718583767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1308328551615343287.post-86841016857487426382016-09-23T11:10:40.017-07:002016-09-23T11:10:40.017-07:00Thanks Gordon.

I may bolster my NARN fleet with some Irregular ships.<br />And I wasn't being coy about where I'm getting my starship from - two packs of eM-4's plastic spaceships are on their way to me. 24 ships with black plastic stands for just over a fiver. I'll probably do a mini-review once they've arrived. Even if I don't use all the ships, I will still have plenty of bases for more scratch builds - including teeny tiny shuttlecraft.Carrion Crowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12243490491778253955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1308328551615343287.post-3755433909238351442016-09-23T05:02:32.642-07:002016-09-23T05:02:32.642-07:00The Bloodhunter fig is lovely.
