Generic Teams - Tan
« on: 22 November 2017, 14:06:43 »
This is Team Tan - 1st Company, along with some other 'Vintage' alternates.

This is what started me on the generic scheme kick.

Team Tan is my Vintage Star League Tech team, and my metal Star League era stuff, and Mechs out of that era, will be put in this generic unit. That would have included a lot of 3025 stuff, too, but some of the MechCommander stars aren't out of the Star League, so, that decided where most of the other 3025ers are going.

Anyway, enjoy.

Close-up run-way shots on request. A few more alternates coming when I'm finished.

Home-made. Block of wood sandwiched between some of that plastic card-stock I get in the mail from Mediacom. Worked up the facade in Paint. Printed and glued it on.

Inspired by the Canadian comedy, Corner Gas.

Team Tan's support elements - The HQ, Spy Car and later MASH and APC with infantry, is getting a vehicular body guard unit. You've seen one, now I add the Partisan.

Lovingly known as the Partivan to some, that chose the Tank Icon which I put on the turret.

Say hello to the Mystery Machine. Or, my attempt at it at this small scale.

That will be the theme for the remainder of the oncoming bodyguard platoon - a Schrekk and Manticore - Cartoon icons on their hulls.

The other theme will be magnetized Turrets, as you can see in the photo. One other thing I'm doing is putting them on a 'level playing field' by basing them on larger transparent bases. I've printed out and glued names to the bottoms of the tanks, and I wanted to be able to see it on the underside. Didn't get a photo of that, but I will when the platoon is complete.

Nice & clean. Are these water based colors with a clear coat on top?

Yup.

I've been using flat spray clear coat lately, simply because it's what I have left. I usually like to use Gloss for the metal stuff, like Mechs and Tanks.

Team Tan grows.

Recon Lance, alternate.  That means two of the Mechs in this lance are only optional.

Guess, I will have to start doing Runway shots, again. Can't find the post with all the units done to date. This is an ooold thread.

But, I'll start with the Assassin Recon Alternate.

More to come when I have the time.

More growth on my generic team!

The Recon Lance's primary configuration, 3 Locusts and 1 Cicada.

The Locusts are one of each variant, the stock -1V, an energy-only -1E, and one that can pass for either the -1S or -1M missile variants.

[cue Jason of Star Command Theme]"Danger hides in the stars!" [/show opening]

Corsairs were a Star League era fighter.

And the Wasp and Stinger LAMs matched sets.

I do have a Pixie LAM and Pixie, and a second Wasp LAM and stock Wasp. One's going to get officer's colors, and the other is going in training orange a la Macross.
