[Predatorpt]

Very nice collection! Looking forward to seeing more of it

[eilif]

Really great work!   I've got alot of the same minis and kits:
-Denizen Ventaurans and Khiff
-Gasaraki Shinden Armor
-Robotech/Macross kits

You acheived some very sharp results. I'll be watching to see what you come up with next. 

I'm also a fan of large scale mech combat and I got my club to try a 28mm mech game.  We used the "Mech Attack" rules because they are very streamlined, but have alot of BT'ish flavor (damage tracking, varied weapons profiles and heat factors).  We put on a convention game with them at Little Wars:

Wow, great work  And those striders are really something!

But there's a little something that's bothering me: the white letters decals on the Merkava.

They detract from your painting by not being blended (it's the only model where that happened, as far as I can see). Have you ever used MicroSol/MicroSet? That twin set can produce wonders when it comes to decals setting/blending.

Of course I've got some horror stories about a time when I softened a decal so much that it came apart, but that shouldn't be a problem for someone with your talent.

Good Catch Rod The Decals from the Merkava are Stickers instead of Waterslide transfers maybe thats why?I usually use Decal Shader or simple Matt Varnish brushed over but it didn't worked well on the Merkava Stickers i guess 
Thanks for the Tip will have to check out that Microsol Stuff 
btw pm me your adress so i can ship the Stuff we talked about

Very glad to have been of inspiration!  The Striders are beautiful and so affordable.  If I didn't have a huge backlog of mech kits, I'd add a few to my collection.

The Elementals are particularly impressive.  How did you paint them? I picked up a squad myself at a local games auction and have been a bit too intimidated to paint them up.  I really want to do them justice.

Thanks Mate,this is only the Begining

Thanks  i can't say much about the Painting,its just the usual Undercoating with 2-3 Layers of Highlights  The Brown is GW Khemri Brown mixed with GW Bleached Bone for the Highlights.The Black Parts are painted in Vallejo German Dark Green,mixed with Vallejo Buff for the Highlights and a Black Wash.Do they still look fancy in the close up? 



took some (hopefully) better Pics of the GZG Figs i have painted so far:

Islamic Federation



IF Sniper/Elite Infantry


UN



Color Tests for NAC and the NSL,they look very similar though the NAC Figs are painted with Vallejo US Army Paints while the NSL Team is based on GW Charodon Granite and Catachan Green (r.i.p  )
