Elders of the Solstice


Another project for Eclipse the boardgame mini expansion: Elders of the Solstice.  The goal is to create Santa Claus' fleet and his Dred sled!   Came across Brigade Model's site and  find those not too bad looking.  So I decided to give it a try.  These are what I have ordered:  

1 x Bulwark class Carrier (Dread sledge)
4 x Wessex class Escort (cruisers)
2 x Kestrel Interceptors (interceptors)
2 x Surveillante SWACS (Interceptors)
4 x Asteroid Defence Installations (star base)
some extra bases, gun turrets, and fighter stands ...

Models arrived today.  The quality is better than I expected.  Casting is clean; edges are crisp; mold lines are visible but can easily to be removed.  Though the fit for Bulwark Carrier isn't the best and being pewter still suffers problems with details, I am still quite satisfied with the overall price and quality!

Bulwark class Carrier

Wessex class Escort

Kestrel Interceptors (just converted the flying base to 4 per stand)



Asteroid Defence Installation

Well, will start with the fighters!
