Inspired by a post on David Crook's Wargaming Odyssey blog, I decided to dig out my unopened Red Alert board game. It was one of those ideas from a few years back that never came to pass. I have another set that has been painted, but not by me, so I thought it would be fun to paint some spaceships and set up a basic game.
The models that come with the game are quite nicely made and come in a basic green or red plastic for the warring factions.
I experimented with various colours and in the end I decided to give all the ships a coat of shiny gunmetal and then add colours for each faction.
This is the result of my initial effort. My green ships are now blue and sand colour:
I have started work on the other faction and set the game board up for the first scenario in the rule book.
