A few Skye Ranger mechs I recolored.

Skye Rangers Catapult 'Dinah Might' about 3050.



Skye Rangers Quickdraw 'Classy Chassy' about 3050.



Skye Rangers Thunderbolt 'Lucky Drop' about 3050.

Awesome post, Malleus!

Very nice repaints!

I know it's been kind of slow lately, but does anyone have a Battlemaster and/or Thunderbolt template or are we still working on that?

I think that's one of his own masking. If so, then props to him! Looks amazing in that recolor.

I did the Thud without a template (thanks to those like Ironhawk who make them!) and it's not *quite* as nice as the others; there's some errors at the borders of the 'mech, especially the feet. Once the really amazing guys do a template, I'll redo mine.
I just *really* wanted to see a repainted Thunderbolt!

Thanks for the kind words!

I'd love to get copies of the pin up girls you used on these. Any chance you can post them here?

[Malleus011]

The gals are WWII nose art; a google search for 'Varga Girl' or 'Nose Art' will get you more than you can ever use.

Nope - although in comparison with the "cannon" but MIA color sheme of the Tamar Jaeger - its a little bit to black. (however could be explained with 2nd or 3rd company)
However - i really really like the silver highlights.

Love the Steiner fist on the LRM. That's just awesome.

@IqfishLP: More black, less grey, replace the insignia on the right with the company insignia, which you placed on the head.

Ok, I seriously have to get a handle on how to make templates. I direly want to repaint some Wolverines and Griffins. I don't care what the state of the game or me getting a refund...art is ALWAYS awesome!

Using Hayden's and Cakebandit's tutorial, will ask questions if I get hung up on anything. Still getting used to Photoshop 7.

Would be cool if you share the results with us, im so eager to paint these!

[Jack Gallows]

Definitely would, just hoping that once I do get it figured out that they're worth giving to you guys for repaints. Nothing worse then providing a crappy template because of my inexperience thereby leading you all to having worse repaints...I'd feel horrible.

Ill give it a try, maybe the Battlemaster because there is no template for it, is it?

I'm excited to learn how to make a template so I can carry this knowledge further into other games and other hobbies. Funny what a little inspiration and need can do for you, and I hope it turns into something I can help others with as that's a reward in and of itself.
