Watchman Posted December 24, 2021 Author Share Posted December 24, 2021 Group completed as much as possible due to the lack of MercNet decals. I cannot get a reply from the company, hope they are still in business. One last Platoon/Lance of the Almond color. Next a break from combat units to base support; Fire, Service, and Security 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchman Posted December 25, 2021 Author Share Posted December 25, 2021 Here is the last of the Almond MercNet CAVs and here are the Base Support Vehicles I am working on now. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchman Posted December 30, 2021 Author Share Posted December 30, 2021 First group of Fire Fighting equipment is ready. There will be another support group. The dishes will go on the Maxim hover tanks at top for mobile SatCom units. These figures are Ral Partha, Wizkids, Tops, Iron Wind Metal, ?, and Reaper. The four Reaper CAV armor may go to fill shortages of figures that will probably never be seen again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchman Posted January 4 Author Share Posted January 4 (edited) For a slight deviation I am considering creating an OpFor (Opposing Forces) unit from the Crimson unit, the Steel/Yellow/Red unit and a few unplaced CAVs. It will be an unidentified unit to use if Black Cutlass wants to try out some of my formations against an opponent.

Watchman Posted January 10 Author Share Posted January 10 This is the makeup of the third company I am currently working on, making the OpFor unit a Battalion size... You never know when you will have an Alien invasion! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchman Posted January 15 Author Share Posted January 15 OpFor unit complete: Command Section, 1st. Company,                 2nd. Company, 3rd. Company. ... back to the Support unit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchman Posted January 16 Author Share Posted January 16 I decided to add one more company, transferred from the 11th. ACR, the Copper/red unit. Also the completed Support Equipment, 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchman Posted January 22 Author Share Posted January 22 A slight deviation. This Gothic RADAR tower has been sitting around for over two years, so for a slight break in painting... It is not complete as per instructions. Braces around the base were left off, the RADAR base windows were not punched out to obscure the interior as much as possible, as well as blocking the side openings. Seeing an empty interior under the RADAR just does not look right considering all the equipment and wiring present for the antenna drive mechanism, electronics and wiring. I am experimenting with making the side panels look like fold open doors. the vertical center strip is set in place to see how it would look. Whatever, the end result will be individual pieces which will look more realistic rather my drawn in lines. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchman Posted January 23 Author Share Posted January 23 (edited) So this is the last of the Support Equipment... I think. These are Maxim Hover Tanks from Battle Tech with missing turrets. I purchased the four dishes from Noble Knight Games and cut pieces from a metal hanger for the mounting shafts that fit perfectly. So I have mobile Sat Comm equipment. And now back to my regularly scheduled painting plan. This Missile Section is from the 7th. Company, 3rd. Battalion, 11th. Armored Cavalry Regiment. They do not photograph well with the, almost black, green color. They are not decal-ed as yet so they can be used with any Army.

Watchman Posted January 27 Author Share Posted January 27 Another completed company. The upper two rows were the work of others. The next two rows are the ones I currently finished. The Spike AFV goes with the Missile unit. The Fire Drake is missing legs so I am thinking of making it a static Base Defense unit, just not sure in what manner to accomplish that.   1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchman Posted February 2 Author Share Posted February 2 Here is the next group finished painting with decals, just have not determined what to put on the bases. This is a Company from the 11th. Armored Cavalry Regiment. This CAV has two separate units indicated, as happens with soldiers when transferred to other units, retaining the original unit patches. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchman Posted February 6 Author Share Posted February 6 This completes the 1st. Company, of the 11th. A.C.R., along with the previous 7th. Company. Any base work will be done some other time, I want to concentrate solely on getting them painted. This unit was mostly done by others. When I purchased them they fit the theme of a decimated unit reforming from whom so ever. Also I liked the color combinations and I just could not destroy the artistic workmanship exhibited. My three are the Forest Green. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchman Posted February 13 Author Share Posted February 13 I continue plug away getting these finished, after all these years. The Forest Green are my work, the rest were completed by Spaztica, except the black Armor. So far, other than a few of Merc Net's armor, just C.A.V.s are being Decaled at this time. Two companies of Armor, one company of C.A.V., and two Armor belonging to the HQ unit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchman Posted February 19 Author Share Posted February 19 Well, finally closing in on the completion of getting all my CAV painted. All that is left to do is some bases to dress up and a lot of Decal work... as soon as I acquire more of them. So here are the last two units to be painted. Next project will be creating free standing mountains using leftover insulation from the Mountain Modules. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchman Posted February 24 Author Share Posted February 24 For our battle formations, I created a Table of Organization & Equipment (TO&E) for each force. I also created a Battle Log for each force to track the progress the advancement of the pilots skill level. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
