As a sucker for Flash Gordon (the comics, the serials, and even that lousy 1970’s movie), I had been admiring Flash Gordon kingdoms available from FASA Hangar 18 (see\u00a0http:\/\/www.hangar18fasa.com\/flash_gordon_42.html#) for quite a while. \u00a0Last Summer, my parents got me many of them for my birthday. \u00a0I finally got around to painting them up. \u00a0These were extremely fun to assemble and paint.<\/p>\n

\"Kingdom<\/a>
Kingdom of Coralia<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

They are all-resin kits. \u00a0Some of them require no assembly, but others require a bit of assembly. \u00a0The parts fit together well, so assembly was easy.<\/p>\n

\"Kingdom<\/a>
Kingdom of the Hawk Men<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Each kingdom also comes with two to four space ships. \u00a0These were a bit fiddly to assemble. \u00a0It was only after I have figured out how to assemble them from the illustrations on the Web page that I found the link to some assembly pictures. \u00a0I haven’t finished painting the space ships, so I’ll share pictures of them in a future post.<\/p>\n

\"Kingdom<\/a>

I think I may add a piece of orange or yellow wire between the two gold posts to look like lighting or electricity,<\/p>\n

This one might be my favorite of the bunch. \u00a0Note how the rock formations are carved to look like lion heads.<\/p>\n

\"Kingdom<\/a>

The roofs on these buildings are painted gold, but with the flash, they look orange in this picture.<\/p>\n

I will likely use the ships with Fleet Battles by GASLIGHT<\/em>, from the GASLIGHT Compendium. \u00a0I may also mix the ships that come with these kingdoms with my War Rocket ships to game with them.<\/p>\n

One of the guys in our gaming group had once been part owner of a company that made interesting plaster terrain pieces. \u00a0While painting these kingdoms, I finished a piece that I will use in our 10mm fantasy games. \u00a0These are apparently long out of production. \u00a0Doug just showed up one day with several boxes of excess bits that remained after the company closed up shop.<\/p>\n
