Son wanted money for Christmas but just putting it into a christmas card wouldn't be fun so I made this in a short amount of time:

That's a good call of you since the top left red ship is made from a kinder surprise toy. :)

No, sadly not. But here you can see the origins:

It is the turquoise-ish thing of two parts below the clear base.

yep, theose bases are delectible!
thats a nice colourscheme on those eldar cruisers.
this design of eldar vessels is so much nicer than the first wave gw released. these have more grace to them in my opinion...

I never got round to getting any of these and I think thats a shame...

Those look great. And agreed on the bases, did you post on how you did them anywhere?

Heya,

thanks all.

@osjclatchford, yeah, they are also pretty rare to find on Ebay. Especially the dragonship & void dragon (flame). But in France they did a rec..ast run a few years ago and had some models left. So I could get three of these delightful models in pewter (!). 

@Dave, the bases. People ask frequently how I do them. And in essence it is just aquarel water paint mixing straight on the base.
The base just black, some white stars (sometimes a bit of blue, green, yellow or red in them).
And the "clouds/phenomena" is just very watered down paint roughly applied. In various tones.

These had a mix of a blue and green. White added to get tones.

That's it. Just mixing and flowing on the base.

Razer Mouse pad!

But, yes, it looks cool. It was time to divert from the orange.  ;D
