To Jack Gallows: yeah baby! That's what I'm talking about. Great job of fan fiction! Great job on that repaint! You even got those IH edge highlights done right! :-D

[Jack Gallows]

Thanks guys, you're both huge inspirations and a lot of help. And, it came with the highlights, it's YOUR template Iron Hawk.

Decided, since PGI releases 'mechs with a little story, why not some for ones I repaint? And what better for SIEG? Kinda a rush job but I think it gets the idea across. I've got a pile of these transmissions on my desk...

This good Sir or Lady got style. I know it "took forever" ..but would you consider doign other mechs that way? It looks realy great If I were a real Mechwarrior I would try to get wooden panneling glued to my armor plates just like this.

How long will it take before the "sporting wood" jokes start to roll in, I wonder.....

Hope never rides alone, Odanan.

This is my first attempt at a repaint, just started using GIMP about 5 hours ago, so be kind
Hope ya'll like it.

Wasn't really going for theme, just kinda made it in the intention of a Lance unit called " The Snow Leopards "

I edited the right arm a bit and added a dual large laser loadout. No unit markings or numbers couldnt get them to lay right, but ill figure it out

Orc/Ogre themed Cataphract. Used a reptile print for skin texture, and leather for the dark parts of the armor.

[Earthtalker]

Both of those Cata's are awesome looking! I am now downloading GIMP because of it so I can cobble together my Shadowhawk.. Let the learning(suffering) begin!

[Paul BlackJack Cady]

Thanks um...do you have the other half?

[Bushmaster]

Since the Stalker is the next mech in-line for the game I thought I would try my hand at one

Again, I really didn't follow any themed group, rather I made up my own. This is modeled after a Mercs. group that call themselves the "BlackSuns". I really didn't make up a back story for them, but if you guys want, I suppose I could write a back story on them.

Anyways, here he is




On a side note : currently I do not have any anything to create decals and transparent images atm.. or atleast until I figure out how to make them in gimp.

I hunt down decals on the web. You can make transparencies by going to "Colors" -> "Color to Alpha", click on the color bar(usually its white by default) find the eye droppers to the bottom right of the next window, use the eye dropper to choose the color to make transparent in the view window on the previous screen, click ok. You can even choose colors not in layer/image manually, and it will remove that hue from compound colors in the layer/image...I believe this will give you a more opaque transparency, but will also change the overall color of the image/layer being used for the transparency.
