HEY FLEETIES

So I started this project with my old micromachine starships! I made a black wooden shadowbox and have laid the ships out. I intend to glue them to the backing and hang up.

I NEED OPINIONS!!!
Do I leave the ships as they are currently coloured ( as they came stock factory ) OR
Do I spray paint them all shiny gold, white gold, pewter?
WHAT DO YOU THINK?! IDEAS?

Thanks,
Datura

Oh, they look pretty!
I would keep most of them as they are, except for the D'Deridex at the bottom and what looks like a Bortesqu' at the top. They seem to be the wrong colour to me, something more dark green would fit more I think.

Or just paint the Bortesqu' gold. It's the best ship in the entire galaxy, so it deserves to be gold :P

I think that's actually a Vor'cha in the upper left corner. I'd leave them the way they are. You can actually get the pewter and gold colored ones online on ebay. I always see them selling the box sets at the conventions.

Ooo cool! Would be interesting to see a golden borg cube lol !

Shiny! >O.o

I had long forgotten about these. I used to have a few of them, but not the full set. Had the DS9 and TNG sets I think. I seem to remember there being a Runabout etc as well? I would keep them as are if I was doing this.

On a side note I am sure I had a Babylon 5 version as well. :)

:blink: :(
I dunno what to do! Off to the hardware store tomorrow at least to get some glue, but I might end up with paint!!
I really wish I had an Intrepid, but I collected these when I was a kid. I guess I was too cool by the time the voyager packs were released. DAMN GROWING UP!

I have lots of other ships, but they are shuttles and the Reliant and Pegasus. Not a huge fan of the Oberth. I also have the t'varo but it's scale is HUGE, it's bigger than the D'deridex which is right out of order!

the final result!!!
step 1, construct a shadowbox
step 2, spraypaint micromachines
step 3, glue ships!

all I need to do is hang!!
