Hippie ship

This is the Sathar frigate with the paint job that I was unsure about.  Yeah, it looks like a Grateful Dead t-shirt, but I kinda like it.
After seeking advice here and on The Miniatures Page, I decided to go ahead and keep this color scheme.
I did try to blend the colors a little better, and I used a brown ink wash to bring out details.
After some time, I think this paint job has grown on me.  With this color scheme, the ship can serve as an alien scout craft or a trillionaire's luxury yacht.
Still one more Sathar (a light cruiser) to go, then I'll have all my Sathar ships completed.  But don't worry; after that, I've still got plenty of metal to paint.

    Mack,

    I'm planning of something like that for the Avarians, once I get them.

    I want some color mix to resemble birds.

    I'm probably going to do so with drybrush, though.

    I'm thinking of doing my Sathar
    in brown and dry brushed gold/bronze and steal highlights.

    It's pimp-tight, but how about some ID numbers / symbols to break up the showroom-floor finish? I'm thinking something along the lines of ISC ID codes or maybe faux Arab script which seems suitable for Sathar.

    Hi!

    I'm wondering if you had any objection to my photoshopping some of your Star Frontiers minis pics for inclusion in the Star Frontiers Wiki:

    Hi Sings-With-Spirits,

    Go ahead and use my SF minis pics for the wiki. I just ask that you give me credit for the photos and the paint jobs, and post a link back to my blog.

    Please let me know once they're up, and I'll link to them in a post on Super Galactic Dreadnought,
