2nd Robinson Rangers

Still working on several projects at various levels of competition, so I thought I would take this opportunity to show you a lance of mechs (Flashman, Lancelot, Wyvern, Thorn) I bought on eBay last year. CSO artist Karnophage was selling a mech lance of the Robinson’s Rangers who are one of the factions of the Federated Suns. The mechs had a nice base paint job, very nicely painted cockpit canopies, and were based and flocked; but there were many details that I prefer on my mechs that Karnophage did not paint. Details such as the joints, dirt, exhaust ports on jump jets, and metal colored weapons. Moreover, the mechs did not have decals, nor were antennas placed on the two mechs that were suppose to have them. Also, I know many of you will quickly realize that none of these mechs would likely be in the service of the Federated Suns, much less all of them being in a single unit, but I’m willing to overlook it. Perhaps in a campain, the reasons could be a plot device, but I digress. So, over the summer, I detailed the mechs further. Please do not think that this post is a dig on Karnophage. I think he just was not finished with the unit. If you like, you can see the original mechs posted here.


Thanks for stopping by, Liao Warrior House units, desert buildings, and a star of Nova Cat Elementals of the Xi Provisional Galaxy coming soon.

  2. Very nice terrain too. A good job on finishing off the little touches on the mechs, which always seem to take so much longer to do than one would expect.

  5. Thank you, right now I have approximately 50 painted mechs of various factions and three times more unpainted. Probably enough unpainted lead to last me for a great many years.
