Dropfleet Commander - UCMF Takes Flight
2021-09-21 Dropfleet / UCM / Showcase /
Glamour shots of the finished fleet. I'd like to get a couple BC kits, one BB, maybe another starter for a few more cruiser/frigates, some corvettes, maybe some monitors, and then I'm not excited about the rest of the models so maybe that'll be it. Now to get some games in. And a bitchin' matt.
Notes on the paint scheme, for my own future reference.
