51st Shadow Division Omega Super-Heavy 'Mech
« on: 12 August 2012, 17:44:49 »
I guess folks know about these.  I got one from a friend who wanted to do a charity auction; of course, I said "yes" when offered the chance to do this.  Bound to say, it's a challenge.  The mini itself comes in a whopping 23 peices.  Most of it's pretty easy to figure out; the only tricky part I found was the arms.  Anyway, I went with a 51st Shadow Division scheme since the 51st is stationed at Terra, and Terra is where the Omega first saw action.  I cheated a bit with the scheme, adding a bit of blue to the legs to make it pop a bit; I love the SD scheme, but on a mini this size, it's a bit dull.  Hopefully the auction will go well, and we'll raise the money we want.  Enjoy!

IWM does a 40mm hex base that works pretty well- mine is half-assembled on one of them right now.

Since it seems to cause a lot of confusion, I will be very specific.

Do not link to or talk about an active ebay auction. Linking to ones that are finished is okay. Talking about Ebay, or suggesting that someone search there if they are looking for something is okay.

Just to make sure that I'm being perfectly clear, the following is okay:

Does it have enough space, or is it more of a 'toes over the edge' type of a fit?

Seeing it painted up so nicely makes me want an Omega all the more.
Fortunately, the Gencon dealer hall opens in just 74 hours and 24 minutes...

...23 minutes...

Damn dude! That is a beast...though the arms seem a bit undersized compared to the art. How does it stack up next to a CAV mini size wise?

'Bout the same, really.  Just about the size of a Mastodon or Ogre.  It's not as heavy as you might think, because several of the parts are hollow.
