Last post for now

This'll be the last post on the blog for a while, probably till summer.
See you soon.

Progress is progressing progressively

Update: The warhammer is almost done, I've finished putting the primer on. 

If the warhammer was a clan mech, I geuss you could say it was the... Prime variant... I'll show myself out. 

I was originally going to do a grey death legion scheme with silly putty, but I've decided on the digital camo. 

*A fair warning* I used to use silly putty to mask off peices on a model, though it seems they've changed the formula. 

Silly putty appears to be a little greasier than when I last used it so it doesn't stick to the models surface. 

Ramble on

Hey all, I didn't have enough time over the weekend to get the warhammer finished up yet, but it is getting there, it will most likely be finished in next Monday's update. This is because it snowed over the weekend and when I was spray painting it it fell of the hanger and into the snow, so I'm waiting for it to completely dry out. 

In the meantime I'd like to show you some more MWO minis that I'm getting in a little over 3 months. 

For inquiries about these fine scale models, you can contact me here:

First off is the awesome mech

I am getting two centurion mechs

I'm not particularly sure what colors the awesome will be painted in. Though the one of the centurions will be painted as the MWO hero mech 'Yen Lo Wang' and the other will be painted as the '-AH' loyalty reward mech that we just got a few weeks ago. 

The 'Yen Lo Wang' mech is a canon mech variant that was owned by a davion pilot that fought in the arenas on the planet Solaris VII. 

Though I'm sure that I could go on and on with the lore on this mech, let's talk about the '-AH' variant. 

The '-AH' reward mech has a unique scheme that is quite 

frankly the coolest scheme they could come up with, see 

images below and I hope you'll agree with me here. 

(Click on images for larger sizes) 

This will be the most complicated paintscheme I have ever done. 

Well, that's all for today, thank you for your time,

See you soon.

It's HAMMER TIME!

Warhammer update:

Because of mis-cast errors on the gauss rifle that are un reparable, I have decided to graft the PPC back on to the hardpoint. 

The interior of the cannon was hollow so I decided to fill it with some white putty to make the mount sturdier. 

Tip of the day: use squadron's white putty VERY SPARINGLY, as two much will start melting styrene or any other plastic type. 

Because of this I replaced the styrene wide flange with a 4.77 mm thick aluminum rod. I wish I had bothered to take photos of this process because of how well it went. 

Instead of the digital camo I was planning to do I have decided on a classic grey death Legion urban camouflage. Which is a light grey with various shades of brown camouflage. 

A little history on the grey death legion according to sarna  the BT wiki. 

The grey death legion was founded by Grayson Death Carlyle in 3024. The infamous unit (under contract of house marik) found the "Helm Memory Core" in 3028, which was considered "Lostech" (lost-tech) to the inner sphere, that sparked great technological advancements. 

In 3065, the unit was destroyed in the defence of defiance Industries along with several steiner units fighting off house davion's forces. 

I am modeling the first company's fire lance warhammer as of 3039; piloted by Lieutenant  Hassen Ali Khalid. 

As no particular details on embellishments on the this warhammer were given; the PPC barrels will be marked with

"thunder!" And "lightning!" Get it? Because that's both what the PPC looks and sounds like when firing.

That is it for this post, see you next Monday.
