Nothing special - but a mech that is always needed. ;)

Nice! I like the detail work, and the zoom of the images really helps appreciate this one in all its glory.

Nice work! I really like the shading and weathered appearance. Great closeup photos , too. You know the work is good when it holds up to such close up inspection. I for one never take my photos so close ;)

It's a way to see even the smallest errors in the paintjob. A good way to improve your skill. ;)
Really i often think thats a great job i did (for my level) and then i see the photo ... :-\

It was your Warhammer that reminds me to finish this little mech.
Now i've 12 mechs in that camo ... and still some more to do. :-\

well done O0

I've just finished the next Crucis Lancier. This time an unseen Longbow.

Wotan · « **Reply #17 on:** 18 July 2012, 11:15:36 »

This mech finally completes my long time planned command lance.
And you can see how the style to paint this camo changed over time.

The Jagermech was painted in autumn 2005. The Battlemaster is from spring 2006. The Cyclops in autumn 2008.

serrate · « **Reply #18 on:** 18 July 2012, 11:57:46 »

Those look great! Nice job! O0

Wotan · « **Reply #19 on:** 21 July 2012, 13:08:53 »

Now I have finished the first ASF for my battalion. Tried to do something different than the usual naval bases. What do you think ?

Wotan · « **Reply #20 on:** 21 July 2012, 13:09:41 »

I have also started the tank company with some quick and dirty Hunter missile tanks. They shouldn't be missed in any unit as they are some of the best tanks ever.

jjpens77 · « **Reply #21 on:** 22 July 2012, 13:13:02 »

The fighters are top notch...really like how they turned out! 8)

Crimson_Langur_1970 · « **Reply #22 on:** 24 July 2012, 10:46:11 »

Great work! I would consider it a pleasure to be blown up by any of those units!

Sigma · « **Reply #23 on:** 24 July 2012, 10:57:48 »

The Longbow and your Aerojocks really are top shelf man. Really fine work.

serrate · « **Reply #24 on:** 24 July 2012, 11:43:29 »

Wow, these all look great!! Those ASF's are beautiful!

Wotan · « **Reply #25 on:** 08 September 2013, 15:02:34 »

Shame on me - it last more than one year to paint some reinforcements for this unit. :-[

But in the end the scope of that Project changed in the meanwhile. First i just wanted to paint some Davion like Units of Company size in a prestige camo. Now i'm painting 3 companies of mechs and tanks each. Will have at least 6 ASF and many Support Units like Scouts, Transport, Pioneers, MASH, Coolant Trucks and so on. Using the RCT Background to paint everything of interest for campaigns and Scenarios that you do not paint normally. ;)

I will start the update with some small Scouts. The Hi Scout was painted several years ago for a contest over at LotB. Now it gots the drones and some other small Support.

Wotan · « **Reply #26 on:** 08 September 2013, 15:05:17 »

The bases of the following mechs are not yet finished, but i did Pictures to Show you the Progress.
Starting with a Grashopper:

Centurion:

A hardly mauled Valkyrie sculpt:

And no Davion unit without a Javelin, right ?

Wotan · « **Reply #27 on:** 08 September 2013, 15:08:59 »

Now one of the rare mods i do. A Jagermech in the LRM variant. Using rockets from the Shogun to match the look of that time (e.g. Zeus LRM). Not happy with my achievements as the single pieces are not really matching in a Close look. But Overall it Ends up the way i hoped.

As always comments and critics are welcome ;)

Wotan · « **Reply #28 on:** 08 September 2013, 15:13:09 »

For all that liked my ASF there is another plane ... ok not a fighter ... but a small Beauty.
Sadly the mini is as robust as the recordsheet indicates. So it will most likely never see any game. But it is a must have for any collector i think. Anyway the next Boomerang will not have the gear open.

Wotan · « **Reply #29 on:** 08 September 2013, 15:17:43 »

Forgot one more Scout. Havent seen many painted so far. This is a Skulker. Most useless tank in the game when the old Citytech box came out in Germany. But ... it should not be missed in a professional Scout unit.

And here comes one of the reasons for good reconnaissance. A mobile Long Tom. I will not paint a whole artillery bat. But i think more of them will come followed by some field artillery guns.
