I love the symmetry and clean lines of #2. Superb work! Well done!

Although all three look good, I'm going to have to go with Entrant Two.

Voted for entrant #2. I think it's the most original looking of the three.
It's painted very well too btw. ;)

All three look awesome, but I am curious, What is on the war hawk's left arm? a Fan?

Vash The Stampede · « **Reply #12 on:** 11 February 2013, 21:27:46 »

Entrant 2

Redshirt · « **Reply #13 on:** 11 February 2013, 21:33:32 »

I'm guessing Siberian-Troll was Number One;
Wackrabbit was Number Two;
Who is Number Three?

Stormlion1 · « **Reply #14 on:** 11 February 2013, 22:17:19 »

Entrant One has my vote, mostly because its the only one that can fire off a Macross Missile Massacare. :)

RAC from Legionnaire, and Dragon Fire "egg" as ammo drum :)

I liked three the best, personally.

Wombat · « **Reply #17 on:** 12 February 2013, 22:38:38 »

Diamond Shark · « **Reply #20 on:** 15 February 2013, 21:01:04 »

so number one is fantastic, so not that there is no love for it, just the missile launcher under the chin would not be to my taste, and the drum is a little on the large side, i could not figure out it was an ammo drum till stated. but amazing amazing work, love seeing you work ST, has been one of the made reasons to push me to finish my own work!

number two just feels like it "fits" right with each other, like when you look at Mr Balks and clanwolfs work, it is so seemless , its looks like a stock mini!

and not to forgot number 3 , some real cool work there, like a battlemaster on steroids !

ShadowRaven · « **Reply #23 on:** 15 February 2013, 23:36:51 »

I like #1 It looks sweet, but it's too much a Warhawk and not enough of a new mech. The same with #3 too much Hellbringer in it to my eyes for it to get the vote.

Sigma · « **Reply #24 on:** 15 February 2013, 23:39:57 »

Number 1 is the best painted.

Number 2 is the most technically proficient in the mod dept. It also has the advantage of using "Blood" parts which tickles my pun bone.

Number 3 has that Victor-esque quality of the not-squat assault that is so rare nowadays, and it's based on a supersizing of a Blood Spirit design.

It was a tough call to vote on one. O0

blackjack · « **Reply #25 on:** 16 February 2013, 17:51:56 »

Went with#1. Like #2 but #1 has a predatory look that I like.

markhall · « **Reply #26 on:** 16 February 2013, 18:41:33 »

All nice mechs.

#3 lacks the look of i will hurt you as the name suggests.

#2 is very pretty but strikes me more a jag mech or lyran unit.

#1 dolid and lookd to carry more wespons than armor so it gets tbe vote.

Saatch · « **Reply #27 on:** 16 February 2013, 18:45:15 »

All 3 look great. Well done guys.

Sharpnel · « **Reply #28 on:** 17 February 2013, 03:29:40 »

I went with #2 as I like the 'cleanliness' of it.

foxbat · « **Reply #29 on:** 17 February 2013, 11:53:20 »

Impresssive, congratulations to all entrants for the great work. O0

Von Jankmon · « **Reply #30 on:** 17 February 2013, 12:40:34 »

Has to be Entrant One, the other two designs look too sensible for the Jade Blood Jade!

This 'mech has an LRM15 lunchbox, and thus has to win.

I own several pieces by Wackrabbit and Amalor and I would say the redshirt was right when he said wackrabbit panted #2 I would have to agree with him.

Has Wackrabbit ever painted any CAV mechs? None that I can recall. Amalor Myrnyxx has done quite a few, some recently. The submission has CAV parts in it. Another thing, look at the terrain on the base. It is the same for most of what Amalor Myrnyxx does with his mechs. I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure it is a Amalor Myrnyxx submission.

Pretty sure it's actually Amalor + Mr. Balk work.

Mastergunz · « **Reply #35 on:** 18 February 2013, 15:02:21 »

Id peg Siberian Troll for 1 and Amalor for 2, not sure on the third one though.

worktroll · « **Reply #36 on:** 18 February 2013, 17:42:13 »

And the winner is:

Entrant Two: Built by Mr. Balk, painted by Amalor Myrrnyx!

In second place, fresh from the skies over Chelyabinsk, Entrant One: Siberian_Troll!

And in a very creditable third place, and the first time we've seen him in our contests here, Entrant Three: kbasher!

Three big cheers for our three competitors!

An artist is only as good as his canvas, and Mr Balk gave me a beautiful canvass to work with.

Siberian-troll · « **Reply #38 on:** 18 February 2013, 19:26:47 »

Thank you :)

Thanks to everyone for their kind words on my Bash. I was just happy to have the oppertunity to place my entrant with entrys from Siberian -Troll and the combined effort of Amalor + Mr. Balk. I've learned alot from watching theirs and others work here and any tips/tricks they have provided. Not that long ago I painted everything with Enamels to the thickness of armor plating. My thought on the bash was to go for a gunslinger appearence.
If anyone is interested a parts list for the bash is as follows:
1.MW/DA Crimson Hawk head & upper torso. staring at me way to long from the bit box.
2. Legs/lower torso from Mekton Hercules
3. backpack/jumpjet from Hercules
4. arms from a Thor
5. back 1/2 of a Vanquisor gun.
6. Med. lasers from a Fafnir
7. some greenstuff
This oppertunity was alot of fun and it has motivated me to bash/paint more. I already have a JF star finished combining bashes w/ IWM sculpts. Just needs paint and I will be posting it.
