Americans (and stealling Pappa's ideas)

[white knight]

Big picture, but since for once you can actually almost make out something...

Latest finished figs, flanked by the now based MaK's I did the other day.
The gasmasked grunts are SOTR (with a slight conversion of the helmet peak as to better match the ones from other manufacturers) and the GI robot is from Darkson Designs. I tried to continue the scheme of the MaK's on the robot with the white stripes.


More grunts:
Eureka - BAM - SOTR


I really stole Pappa Midnight's painting ideas for the MaK's and may have overdone the rust (it's easy to get carried away), but I like the result. The one on the left is using the head of a BAM mini, the other one uses a SOTR german head.

Maybe it's just me, but I don't see any pictures

[TadPortly]

me either

Tried to open them in a new window and it says server not responding. Could be problems on that end.

[Pappa Midnight]

Hmmm... I can see the pics just fine...?

Excellent stuff WK!!! I love the way the colours bring them all together.
As I said on SOTR, the rust looks great.....nice and well worn!

BTW: "Stealing" ideas, Huh!!! I've never done that before......................

Must have been a temporary problem with the server.

@ Pappa: Cheers (though it's really all your ideas). For the rust, I worked in two layers: first a chocolate brown and then an orangish brown called "rat brown" (I think from Coat d'Arms). I also cheated to speed it up and used a stiff flat brush with not too much paint on to get the small rust lines.

very nice stuff white knight.

By the way, I do know that "stealing" is with one "l". It's a typo.

Hey white knight, I place an order with my wife for my Birthday this August 31 (About 10 mechs), I can't wait to play with these models! I'm also going to paint them up as US Allies...
What rules are you going to use with them?

[twrchtrwyth]

They look very nice.

[white knight]

What rules are you going to use with them?

Well, I have a copy of SOTR, AE-WW2 and BGWW2, so ideally would try all three rulesets.
Both SOTR and AE-WW2 have similar sized mechs in the rules, so it's easy to use them instead of the official models.

As far as increasingly bad pictures go, I'm making progress. Still, three more figs completed as well as two more robot GI's awaiting completion of the bases.
The girl is a Eureka dog face GI, the other two are westwind.

Yes she is, and yes, she is the only female.
Pictures don't work for you? odd.
