Next mech in the new units colors.

Though I really dig your atlas piece, I can't say I am at piece with this one. 2 problems: for the face, the decal does not feel natural over the cockpit window. Normally, you'd have either no surface on it or a partial texture that does not impede vision, the second problem I see is the way you handled texture for the camo, which feels more like powder over the 'Mech in some places. As per with Hayden's template (or the cicada template in the last couple of pages), you could try changing your white camo layer to a 'clipping mask'. My intention here is to be constructive. Hope this helps.

Overall your work is great and you make your unit proud!

hey IH i think we made that 50+ likes between the raven and the cicada

Well Major,

I do count 29 for the Raven and 23 for the Cicada. Seems you win and your 1st RR (with some help from this rockin' community) deliver! I'll be awaiting your call (or your representative's) for the choice of heavy and assault 'Mechs to complete the lance. We should be due for another concept 'Mech by PGI wthin a week and a half or so if you wish to wait. Either way, I have a special order of red and black paints on the way...

Here's another repaint for my Unit, this time on a hunchback.
EDIT: touched up the gold around the feet and added some laser glow.

Finally got around to doing the Cicada

I am naturally quite fond of this, very good work mate. One point though, that camo is the Auscam, used on uniforms, and while it looks great on the mech, and no doubt others, we have a hex pattern that is used on our soft/canvas covers. May I suggest a look at that pattern ?

Edit: I will want my mechs in this

I put Australian just in case anyone thought Auscam is Austrian I'm running through the uniform patterns at the moment, but I'll definitely do some vehicle camo schemes. Uniform camo is generally more varied than vehicles, so that's why I chose those patterns. I'll do a Cicada in the vehicle pattern for you though.

Thank you! Think maybe you could whip up a shiny Highlander repaint for me?

You do a great job yourself. If my recollection is correct, Highlanders use camouflage + tartan apropriate to the environments relative to their missions (so I am not sure if there is room for parade style shine) but you may have something else in mind? Can you send the requirements via PM and we'll elaborate further? Thanks.

Shimmering Swors is simply... The Man.

And he knows how Raven should look, unlike you know who...

Strictly speaking, that was just me. We made our templates independently

[Adridos]

Will you post that Preston's Lancers Cicada here, Hayden?

Yeah, but I'm going to start posting my sets of 10 all at once, instead of the infamous trickle

This way, people can be sure to see them all at once, instead of having to come back to an obscure page to check for new stuff

[theginganinja]

Not sure if this has been done already; if not, though, would it be possible to see a 'Mech in Irish DPM?
