This miniature comes from Shapeways and is at 1:3125 scale. You can find it here. I chose the Smooth Fine Detail Plastic variant and did a google image search to find the colour style I preferred, painting up the first prototype to check the paint job. Here it is.
Now, five more to paint!
Way in the distant past of this blog, I showed off the campaign map I had made for fighting battles in the Star Fleet Universe (using A Call To Arms and Starmada rule sets). I had used highlighters to colour the borders for each of the major empires. However, over time, those highlighters faded. Recently I decided to get some acrylic paints and repaint all the borders again. Voila! Good as new. So, I decided to show it off again. All the counters are from the Federation & Empire game from Amarillo Design Bureau.
I still have to make some counters for the Cardassian's, Ferengi and the Breen. But you can see Bajor and the Wormhole in hex's 3104 and 3204 above. Each hex is regarded as a Sector on the map. The Badlands can also be seen in sectors 3103, 3202 & 3203. The Ferengi Alliance is visible in purple around sector 3201.
Q'onoS, the Klingon Homeworld can be seen in Sector 3227 above.
Romulus and Remus can be seen in sectors 1720 and 1819 above. The astute reader will note that this area of the map reflects the border map seen in the original series.
You might note some familiar system names hidden in these areas.
Each counter represents either a ship or patrol group for purposes of the campaign, rather than being used as the Federation & Empire ruleset. But the map is also meant to be able to be played using Federation & Empire. There are a lot more counters to make. The whole thing is magnetic and so the counters have magnets on them as well. I have two sets of Federation & Empire for this purpose.
So, there you go!
