A mech with a UAC 20 that I didn't know about??? How did that happen?

Great mod and paint job!

Great Job!

I think the Summoner G is currently my favorite with both C, & A running a close second (depending on the terrain).

Thanks for feedback  ;)

agen, i noticed your summoner arm joints have magnets .... how strong do you find the connection? I currently use magnets for the torsos, and the only thing that has held me back from using them on the arms is that it might make them even more fiddly to pick up and move about during gaming, since the arms joints are so light (for example the Gauss Rifle and PPC omni arms).

Brandydog you're wrong, I did not use any magnet for Thor.
I have a couple of measures in the drawer, but they aren't small enough to enter the premises of the arms. I got from an English site selling them and these were the smallest  measures available: I really need smaller diameter for the arms of some omni resculpted.
I used the magnets in a couple of occasions with the left arm of the Pinion and they work very well.
So if you had the right size go x it.

I actually used Tamiya Paints Olive Drab + watered down black paint for recesses
mix the olive drab with gw bleached bone for highlights

Great looking Summoner! I love the weathered look to the main colors, it makes it look like a war machine rather than an odd toy the way a lot of the parade schemes often turn out. Now get to work on the rest of the Star!  :)
