Re: [FT] New QAD mini

Beast - I'm tending to agree with you about the domes. I'm actually 
toying with the idea of black, but that may be too dark to be distinct. 
Gold or copper is a good candidate,

I have thought of stripes/chevrons. The chevron is a part of my NI 
military insignia. The challenge will be making them small yet distinct 
enough to go with the various hull features.

Laserlight - I did hebrew letters on my Brigade NI fleet and it worked 
up to a point. Apparently some days I have a steadier hand than others. 
It's more problematic on the smaller minis. Even if I don't put a 
letter on the hull, I'll probably put one on the base.

Robin- The starmat I got from GeoHex when it was still around. Starmats 
are available from different places, I think. You might want to check 
the GZG East Coast Convention web pages and the vendors listed there 
for the past cons:

I have not tried the X-pod game, and now the kids' lego robots have 
been absorbed into the ever-growing lego reservoir. I'll look it up at 
some point, though.
