Narn G'Quan cruisers(link is external) are perhaps my favourite ships in Babylon 5 series(link is external), which is full of excellent ship designs. It was only matter of time before I had to build a few of my own - finding A Call to Arms(link is external) -game helped in this, even if I didn't like the game a lot after all.

Once again, 1mm cardboard has been used to create base structures of these warships. In the above picture, you can also see three pieces of plastic pipe tied together with thin wire with some thin cardboard shaped with hard-pressed ball-point pen and a small wooden ball to finish the shape.

G'Quan 3.JPG - Adding details and putting the models together.

I've used a bit thicker (plastic-covered) wire to tie the gun pieces together. There's some balsa wood in the central parts of the ships.

Painting the ships. Red base, white camouflage with a fine brush. Central parts were first painted dark grey and then drybrushed with lighter grey with a hint of silver.

Ready ships! A G'Quan regiment ready to engage any Centauri ships they see!
