Hey,
i hope i can add this custom Catapult refit to a dirty Marauder in here
i took the Centurion Arm and the PPCs of the nice Catapult-K2 posted earlyer for the dorsal gun (i hope its ok).
its still not as threatening as the original tho




Please excuse the imagevenue link. it seems, i cant just drag and drop this pic in the forum. (saying post is too short)

I think it is much more intimidating than the original. Very nicely done.

Looks nice. Not one for the big central "Shoot Here" bull's eye of the sword and sun you have there but the camo sceme is good.

[Reno Blade]

Is there any way to make the picture bigger? It looks cool but I can't really see any of the detail.

[Listless Nomad]

Hayden would you be willing to make a template for the Commando? I'd really appreciate it

Like for forever...totally.

not too shabby for the marauder mock up.


Now please, try not to host with sites that link you to free **** when you click on the pic to get a bigger size.

Nice job Vexgrave!

[Waylandx]

Great jobs on thouse Commando repaints!

[Vexgrave Lars]

1st a hundred thanks for Hayden for dumbing this process down to where even I can grasp it. Second, Gimps masking process is about as simple as brain surgery and did not translate well.. because the buttons are in way different places (so obvious yet... so easy to overlook). That said.. I'm pretty satisfied with the result (hammered on my crate, she listened eventually, but grumbled the whole time) and so is our CO and team.

Nomad is working on other Mechs for our Regiment and we're very proud of our work, thank you Hayden and all of you . This is one very inspiring post.

Humbly


Wayland You wanted something painted like Robocop? OR a Mech 3d that LOOKS like Robocop?

awesome picture man

[Grafvitnir]

Request: A non-canon Dragon 'Mech for my pilot.

FRR insignia, GRAFVITNIR written somewhere on it.
A Valnott (http://www.sunnyway....nes/valknot.gif) and an Aegishjalmur (http://upload.wikime...shjalmr.svg.png, http://www.thebigide...protection2.jpg) on it as well would be awesome.

As for the colours themselves, I'm thinking heraldric blue and yellow on most of it, checks, chevrons, quarters or whatever you fancy, with dark Khaki or Olive Drab on the less important areas; a single band of tartan around the upper arm or thigh would be great for reflecting my old-days RP character's partial Northwind and Skye heritage as well.
Inspiration: (http://2.bp.blogspot...ellow+check.jpg, http://images.suprem...-1?$mainshot-2$)

In the RP backstory for Gravfitnir, the 'Mech also has various small runes hand-painted on it's feet and shins by local villagers during it's 'retirement' on a backwater planet after my father was injured in the Ronin Wars. Runes of protection and gratitude for helping raise barns, fell trees, and basically acting like a glorified IndustrialMech until Graaf was old enough to pilot it and leave to join the KungsArme.
Here are some sample runes if you want to do the little details: (http://www.sunnyway....es/warrior.html, http://img1.liveinte..._myth_runes.jpg)

Many thanks for helping a sentimental roleplayer bring his 'Mech to life; whatever you come up with will be great if it's as professional-looking as your stuff so far!

Next series of 10: All Commandos.

My first and only upload for tonight is in a color scheme that's fairly near and dear to my heart... no, I'm not sponsoring this unit, I just really like this color scheme... a Commando in Blackburn's Raiders livery!


EDIT: This next one is something of a blast from the past. Destroyed in the 4th Succession War, this 'mech is meant to depict a machine from Vincent's Commandos, a unit of the Liao Reserves. Both the commandos and their sister unit, Trimaldi's Raiders were wiped out in the 4th Succession war by (who else?) the AFFS. That said, they can still live on in our hearts. Or something like that...


EDIT: Returning to it's roots. This commando represents a unit from the Lyran Commonwealth's 5th Donegal Guards. I chose this unit over other Donegal Guards units, because they have a little more contrast, without the insanity of the 6th Donegal's paint scheme. This particular one was hastily repainted into a kind of ad-hoc "ridge line" scheme, by leaving the upper half in normal colors, and repainting the lower half.


EDIT: This one is from a very obscure mercenary unit that very few of you have probably even heard of. Very obscure. Not even really sure why I'm putting it up.


EDIT: Last one for tonight, I think. Running low on steam for now. Marik Militia Commando. Text on the side of the cockpit reads "spartan" in Greek.

EDIT: So I lied. One more for tonight... maybe one to follow? Basically, I'm really tired, but I may not have this much free time again for a few weeks anyway... this potential last one is another Commando, and again from another defunct liao unit, MacGregor's Armored Scouts.


Edit: 2nd St. Ives Lancers.


32nd Lyran Guards Commando. Because it is a Steiner 'mech, after all.


EDIT: Same unit as above. Different machine.


Last one for this series. The obligatory 3rd Amphigean LAG model

The Raider's really appreciate it, really helps the unit come alive with all the work you've done

That green on the default 'mech had to be kind of annoying to get over, but the Dragon and Catapult are probably more difficult. I still need to try my hand at GIMP.

[Hartsblade]

Since the Commando is a Lyran 'mech I thought I'd take a stab at the 3rd Lyran Guards. I know I need to add a few more details, but it's getting late. I also did quick mock-ups of the Lyran Guard insignia and the 3rd's insignia as well.



Here is the Lyran Guard insignia

and the 3rd Lyran Guard insignia
