I hope that worked!  You can click on the link to see some of the Zandris IV ships that I've been working on.

Some background:  I haven't been able to paint ANYTHING since September when I was diagnosed with some pinched nerves at C6 and C7.  I have terrible pain and constant numbness and tingling in my right hand and right arm.  Physical therapy has been helping, but sometime soon they're going to check the MRI and see just what else they need to do (inside), since it's only help just enough to relieve the pain, not enough to bring back any strength.  For now, I'm pain free, if somewhat numb, and the tingling comes and goes.

So, since I've been painting minis since I was 15 (almost 40 now!!!), and seeing as I wanted to work through some of my lingering fears that I may never be able to paint effectively again, I ordered some new ships.  After two weeks, they arrived!  More reinforcements are on the way, and I'll keep updating the album as I go.

Initial tests with Andre's colors (Iyandeen yellow for the aztecing base coat) didn't work out too well for me, so I went back to my old standby of bright yellow.  Most of my star ship fleets over the past 25 years have featured some shade of yellow, so no reason to quit now!  I kept with the theme of aztecing the gray areas, and it makes an interesting contrast to the starkness of the bright yellow and the darkness of the reds.

The pics, suprisingly, show many flaws that I just didn't see.  No harm, though, as you can't see the flaws on the star field during play!

Ignore the dates on the pics, I was having camera trouble, and only recently found the instruction book to properly set the date, LOL.

Let me know what you think!
