The past 2 or 3 weeks has been a slow ramp-up to Adepticon and finally (FINALLY!) getting my Dropfleet Fleet on the table. And while I'd rather stage some decent photos, I wanted to say here that a few minutes ago I sat down the last brush on the last ship, and poured a whisky. Now just I need to get the last 3 ships off their corks and glue in the base adapter, then organize and pack everything for Adepticon - which starts for us on Wednesday evening.
This has been a long project in the making. I started assembling the bulk of this army about a year ago. Looking back at it, the project really wasn't that bad, but a couple of the steps involved were incredibly tedious and I avoided the ships for several long spans. I don't think being a commission painter is ever in my future.
It'll be good to have these off the bench. I have a couple of things I want to tackle before I start my GenCon and ReaperCon projects.

| Bench shot of the cruisers, fresh off their corks and before the clear base adapter peg was installed. |
 |
| I carried the Squadron Stripe idea up through the battleships. This is WIP just after I basecoated the engines but before I started any weathering or other detailing. |
 |
| Two battleships, side by side. Also WIP at the same stage as above. Each of these ships is larger than my cell phone. |
Once the dust is settled, I'll try to grab some finished shots.
