Nova Cat Supernova. Not in Alpha Galaxy parade colours if you can believe it.

Holy moly, your reskins look so bloody good, man.

Again, apart from being clan-mechs, that is.

Try # 3 on the Stinger. Fixed Left Shoulder, Cockpit, Antennas, larger underslung MGs, reduced ML handle so MGs could fire past it, flattened Knee Armor, and added back in the JJ Nozzles.

Any suggestions?

The cockpit is still not there... I don't know how you will conciliate the original concept art with a practical, real "military" cockpit... :/

Can't we just copy-paste the cockpit from the MWO Shadowhawk?

*Wakes up early to start the Supernova template and sees this*

It will take so many lives for me to reach that level that I don't know if I even want to try.
I think I'm going back to bed.

PS: hey, da Vinci, since you got your golden hands on the Supernova, could you make a template for us poor mortals?

Sure. putting one together now.

Supernova SNV-1 Template.

I'll also upload up my other templates some time.

Nice suggestion - how about an amalgam of the two?

Also - per Sarna - the Stinger and Shadow Hawk are both made by Earthwerks. So, that lends a nice symmetry there. I have also included a scale reference below - as someone had commented on the Battletechgame.com boards that the cockpit looked too roomy. Based on the scaling, the cockpit would be a bit on the cramped side, with the pilot sitting somewhat recessed in the 'torso'.

Now you nailed it!

Thank you

Team effort - between your suggestions and Juoras' it just kept looking better

If you want, I'll post the PSD file (which has the metal and glass separated) and you can work you templatized magic on it.

Alternatively, I can just post the layers as individuals PNGs.

PSD will do. I will put them together in a template.

Edit : JV suggested making the Stinger a bit taller - here it is next to the Commando.

Head was too small for pilot again... Bishop Steiner made a suggestion to change the head position and size a bit.

Looks great! The only thing that might be missing are little details on those big, empty plates. Makes it look less flat. Maybe also move that left arm up a bit, looks like its hanging a touch too low

Been working on a Ryan's Rebels color scheme for this one - with a damaged/worn look to it. Been getting some good suggestions on what to add over at the BattleTechGame.com site as well.

Big thank you to Hayden for his unit icons - which I used here (and Ryan's Rebels defiled!!)

Trying my hand at Rhonda Snord's old ride - before Heavy Metal. Didn't do much in the way of weathering as of yet.

Edit - holy white outline batman! Gotta fix that

I frankly don't have the personal skills to do this- but is there any chance of getting a Dire Wolf template out into the fray? I think it'd be a good addition to what we already have for Clan templates.

Back to basics with a plain old Linebacker.

Clan wolf in Exile Beta Galaxy colours.

I wouldn't mind doing the Dire, but its only on the edge of my radar at the moment. It also depends on the quality of the source art, some of the older stuff is pretty low res.
