Here's Belleau Wood in MS 22. It's a ship from XPForge/Ghukek with a deck decal from Flight Deck Decals.

Thanks for looking!

Here she is with the original WOTC Princeton along with my Princeton repaints, Langley and Cabot:

It shows how tight Ghukek's sculpt is in comparison to WotC. Your paint looks great along with the decal. Did you glue the WotC miniature to the base? I just use poster putty.

Yes, I used to use Elmer's white glue to adhere the minis to the bases. I've stopped doing that and now use poster putty or glue dots which are just sticky gel pieces. They come off cleaner in case I need to make a change. The glue dots work well on the XPForge miniatures with the flat resin bases. Not so much on Shapeways stuff.

Ah. I would think even the Elmer's would be fairly easy to pull off if needed. I am honestly surprised how well the poster putty works. I rarely have a miniature pop off when gaming, yet it is very easy to pull off when necessary (usually to take a photo).

The Elmer's is easy to pull off, but it's unsightly...trying to go for something less visible.
