Just as a taster, here is my UCM starter set en route to a warzone:

Cool, looking fresh and ready to kick Scourge!

Kinda reminds of original Battlestar Galactica colors.
Re: Task Force Albion
I know what you mean, although that wasn’t a conscious inspiration. I just wanted a “classic” spaceship look - clean and utilitarian, but still bold enough to have visual impact.
Perhaps the little 150 piece jigsaw of BSG’s Rag-Tag Fleet that I had as a child made a bigger impact than I thought!

I’ve been getting on with my UCM, including these destroyers. My custom Vancouver is entirely inspired by a similar conversion by Gauntlet (which you can see on his Showcase thread), the difference is that I used spare light cruiser wings instead of Seattle wings.
Re: Task Force Albion
In fact, I can now share with you my fully completed (for now at least!) UCM fleet 
In the vanguard (left of picture), you can see the Assault Wing, whose job is to get Colonial boots on the ground, led by the heavy cruiser Warspite (Moscow-class).
At the top of the picture is the Battle Wing, with all the pure ship-killers, commanded by the lethal Avalon-class battlecruiser Conqueror. Bottom right is the Carrier Wing, concerned with both offensive and defensive operations with small voidcraft. This group is run by the Furious, a retrofitted command ship based on the Atlantis.
Last (but not least), the Command and Control section, comprised of the Lima-class frigates Vulture and Vulcan, and the flagship of Task Force Albion: the mighty Beijing-class battleship Majestic.
All told, 42 ships including 13 capital ships:

Re: Task Force Albion
Briljant work! Love that you created it by wings. Cool

Re: Task Force Albion
Happy to see this fleet complete! Looking forward to you adding monitors and perhaps a Centurion or two for giggles!
Also- I like your Vancouver conversion more than mine, though I have great need for light-cruiser wings and therefore can't spare the parts on Vancouvers... BUT, I wonder how it would look with a bottom half or top half being a Carrier wing instead?
