How the hell did you manage to get the decals on the legs of the MCII. I get frustrated after five minutes of trying and give up.

Also, five star post.

[M3T4L R0N1N]

It would make me really happy if everyone hit me up with what you think or any suggestions and criticism.

Looks good.

Nice job. Hell's Horses approved! Nova-Stormcrow-Hellbringer.

I originally had my CHH Mechs painted up exactly like yours with Hotrod and yellow and red. I have since switched them all to Blood Orange and PC Gamer Black while using a combination of Hot Rod, Phraken, Ghost Bear and Fracture, depending on the chassis, to get a volcanic/Hell embers and lava look. I usually put the Orange in the middle color slot.

That is an interesting little project that you took on.

Battletech flag/paint scheme designs can make Warhammer 40k blush.

ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT, Baby Coyote!

Hey thanks, I really like the Alpha Keshik camo as well. I read somewhere on a forum before that it wouldn't be proper without flames. I opened up the mechlab to see what black primary and blood orange secondary looks like on Ghost Bear pattern and it really does look like a volcano, looks wicked kinda like Iota Galaxy or maybe a Clan Blood Spirit unit.

Sorry I have a decent computer but I am a potato.

Nice, they look really good, there is one thing though, for clan wolf, if you press “F” you can flip the decal around, so the wolf faces forwards.

http://camospecs.com...75/alpha-galaxy it is facing forward the way it is. There is no need to flip it. In every depiction of Wolf mechs in Battletech and other Mechwarrior games the decals on the left side of the mech is looking towards the rear. I will say this about the Wolf mechs though that is bothering me, the default Wolf camo in game is that of the Silver Keshik and I tried my best to use Alpha Galaxy colours on it and I am thinking it doesn't look like either of them now.

So here is what Clan Wolf Alpha Galaxy should look like just threw this together really quickly for this reply don't own the pattern yet. http://camospecs.com...75/alpha-galaxy

And bellow is the default Wolf camo spec which is actually the Silver Keshik in lore. http://camospecs.com...e-silver-keshik

Lastly this is what I currently have which is a blend of the to Silver Keshik pattern with Alpha Galaxy Colours which I am now thinking doesn't look like anything from the lore.

Personally I think I need to redo my Wolf mechs to the first one what do you guys think?

I wish I could do more than just one like, it's great to see something positive around here

[Emmett Fetladral]

Nice camo's! Hell's Horses, Nova Cats and Star Adder especially.

During the last weeks I have painted all of my clan mechs in the colors of Clan Wolf Alpha Galaxy. Unfortunately I dont know how to post screenshots

However, I have chosen the crusader camo for that.

Mechwarrior 2 is apocrypha not exactly Canon and neither is this game so do whatever you want. These paint schemes are not from Mechwarrior. They are straight from the Battletech community and all their lovely paint schemes. If you're gonna continue to reply without really even looking at the source then I am just going to have to ask that your comments be removed. A lot of time and research went into these and I am well aware of how to flip a ******* decal...

Thanks! I am really happy with the way Nova Cat turned out too. When I first started this all the Clan Wolf mechs were Alpha Galaxy on the Crusader pattern as well but I thought it'd be neat to try it with the in game Wolf Camo I am probably just gonna edit it later with the proper Silver Keshik Colours even though I love Alpha. Also you need to upload the screenshots to something like imgur from your screenshot folder if you are using Steam. Once you have your picture uploaded online you just use the link to said picture in between some BB code in your reply.

The camos look nice, but holy crap almost all of the decals are terrible - that's not by your fault, they just don't fit onto the mechs either in geometry or by the fact they don't have any sort of blend into the mesh/camo.

Yeah they are frustrating to place on some of the better looking ones and honestly could have spent more time on some of the others I think I was just way to excited when I unlocked some of them and threw them on there. As time goes on I will probably be spending a lot more time on making them perfect and replacing some of these pictures.

[sycocys]

The numbers are especially horrendous looking, but there's really not much you'll be able to do for any of them because they all look like you are slapping stickers on top of 10 layers of clear coat - as if there is an entire extra layer of mesh between the mech and your decal layers.
