Extraordinary work, and extraordinarily fast.

Tried something a little different this time - more 'pronounced' highlights and some weathering. Not sure if I want to keep trying this style. 'Mech is from the Illician Lancers, 59th Strike Regiment. Original can be seen here: http://i.imgur.com/hBrC2.jpg

Well someone said Flecktarn!?!?!? (German Camo) //EDIT: Actually it is the German Vehicle Camo

Here it is! Thought a Jenner would fit in well as kind of an "old" mech.
No signs or decals or stuff.
Tried to really 'think' like someone who has to paint the mech. So i tried to get a good "camouflage" but on the other hand paint parts differently so that you would see the parts moved or were painted befor they were installed...well hope you know what i mean

It's not really flecktarn, it's more like the old US Woodland camo used in the 80s and 90s. That said, I think it looks quite good!

Thanks!
Ok i think you'r kinda right. It is not Flecktarn cause Flecktarn was developed for infantry and i will try to put it on a mech later, but my intention was to put the actual German Army vehicle camo on a mech. And that is the one i used I have to say i turned up the green a little bit in it's saturation...that said, it really starts to look like the old US Woodland

Actually the first thing I thought when seeing that pic was: "hm, that looks familiar!"... ^^
It's definetly not Flecktarn, trust me, I had to wear that for 9 months! lol
Nevertheless, it's pretty much the same paintscheme the german military uses for it's vehicles, see for yourself:


In fact I think it does very well look like it belongs to the german military.
And srsly who'd want to paint Flecktarn on a whole tank?!?

Yes it's not Flecktarn. Someone wanted to have Flecktarn on a mech and that was the first thing which came to my head after trying to get the "real" Flecktarn on a mech....
And i did wear Flecktarn myself for some years

Jep it really looks strange
But i will try.....maybe the mech will just wear Flecktarn shorts


and now lets get BTT and have some more pics!!!

Maybe if certain parties would release the concept art for one...

But, since I have a hard time declining a challenge...

Give me about 24 hours. We'll see what happens.

EEEEEh, courtesy of Alex Iglesias, tampered with by Hayden. Let's give credit where it's due

[Threat Doc]

That is one of the coolest looking rebuilds I have ever seen... I love the original Marauder, but this thing looks amazing.

[Hayden]

Almost 4 hours later....

(plus breaks, also my tablet is broken so this is all mouse)

URBANMECH! Chesterton Reserves Urbanmech. They actually still exist in the timeline!

Hopefully you folks enjoy the fruits of my labor... and Alex Iglesias' background.

I couldn't resist!!!!

If there aren't Urbies in MWO, I wont play.

[Vincent Vascaul]

That Marauder stopped me dead when I saw it, soooooo awesome!

[Kharrn]

Hey there!

To get my "flecktarn" Jenner i had to modify Hayden's template and had to create lots of layers for different parts on the Jenner.
Credits to Hayden for his template and for giving me an "idea" how to work with photoshop Thx man!

So now here is the .psd with layers for nearly any major part on the Jenner (kneecap, upper left leg, lower left leg, left foot, "Head", Main Body, Arms, etc). This means you can very quickly change colors or set decals on specific places.
It was made because if you want to put a camo pattern on a mech (or any other stripes or stuff which crosses parts) you have to keep in mind the movement of those mech-parts. Think like if they, in the BT Universe, would have painted the parts in production or when the mech was assembled but steady and not in motion...hope you get the idea

Ok here is the link to the template. I hope it will work... (sry for hosting on such a crappy free-upload-space-side)

http://www.sendspace.com/file/bbjsi7

And i couldn't resist to give you an example of how you can color the parts. All parts that have a layer have a different color.
Fear.........my...........Disco-Mech!!!!
