Q: What do you get when you cross a Longbow, a Mac III and a King Crab?

Both of the mechs are airbrushed the same fade. It went from white - yellow - green - red - brown moving upwards. I should have stopped with the 2nd wash, that really showed off the fade . I did a 3rd wash and it darkened everything just a bit too much.

I do prefer down and dirty schemes over prissy Parade schemes , so I can live with it. Stil have to work on my inadequate painting skills. Too bad the fade got lost :cry: :cry:

The only difference between the two is one is highlighted red vs yellow and several decals are different,

I decided I wanted an arm change from what appears to becoming the standard walking configuration. By moving the arms upward and outward, and re-aligning the arms gives it a "locked and loaded" feel to the mech.

I really like how the 3rd photo turned out. That one I'm goingt osend to Brigade models.uk

ZAC:.......... hope you like my version of your creation

My GOD! I hadn't realized the /size/ of them until I saw the map sheet more clearly! We need Mac's Super Heavy Mech rules for these babies. No, I don't think 200 tons will handle it! :lol:

Is that an actual MAC-III mini? Where did it come from? (as in, who made it, where can I get it, that kind of thing)

This mini is offically called "Chronus". It is from Brigademodels.co.uk

in England.

It originated on the LOTB site as a group effort to remake the MAC from Robotech. It was code named The Almighty". There are several stats for this monster on the LOTB site.

A player in England was able to refine the concept and get Brigade to produce it.

It was about $45.00 for the pair to have them sent to me. I also opted for the extra set of barrels to make 4 for each.

As you can see the mini is huge. The center torso is cast resin, the legs - arms - sockets - barrels are all cast metal.

There may be varients coming along. RAC - PPC - Missile
