<br />
While I love posting up new art this is by far my favorite type of Monday update as I have a brand new print to show off. I quickly pressed stuff together with sticky-tac for the photos. <br />
<br />
(I had to repose him several times as the heat from the shop lamp makes the sticky-<span class="glossaryitem">tac</span> lose its grip pretty quickly). This is the <span class="glossaryitem">raw</span> master a couple panels and the cockpit window will need a very light touch of sanding but everything came out great. I can't wait to get him molded and have some resin casts on hand.<br />
<br />
The variant parts are being sent in for printing this week and if all goes well I'll have everything ready for pre-order within two weeks. <br />

<br />
I expect the test print of the earlier Alpha model to arrive later this week and provide it comes out as expected I'll have this one submitted very shortly for printing as well. This deviates from the stat cards that were previously used for the game so I'll be updating the cards to represent the actual model load outs for the variants.<br />

I just finished the Neo-Bloc Goshawk mech up this morning and it's been emailed to the printer for quoting. <br />
<br />
I've also set up a new site at <a href="http://www.mechafront.com/">www.mechafront.com</a> which will be the homepage for the game. At the moment its a bit threadbare but I'll be adding more content as I can. <br />
<br />
Here's a couple shots of the renders.<br />

Below are some pictures of the resin casts that were made. The initial 50 copies that were placed up for pre-order sold very quickly and all were shipped out by July 5th. I do have the standard production run models available now on <a href="http://www.mechafront.com/">www.mechafront.com</a><br />
<br />
This first picture is the master model which is why it's in a slightly darker grey. The model shown on it's base is a 15mm dollie to help show how it compares to 15mm scale miniatures. <br />
<br />
It also works very well with 10mm figures like Drop Zone Commander. Both HO and N-Scale terrain works well with them, although I prefer the N-Scale as the mecha appear larger and its also less expensive. <br />
<br />

<br />
I'd tossed out pieces of this artwork as part of a puzzle game on some gaming forums. Now that everyone has had time to fiddle with it here's the full art. Anthony did a bang up job on the piece and I'm absoultely in love with it. Each mech for the game will likewise recieve a simular treatment for their art and unit entry in the rulesbook.<br />
<br />
Seb had previously helped with the graphics layout for the Robotech and he's graciously offered to help polish the stuf for Mecha Front as well. He's currently touching up the early stat card borders I'd put together so that they look a bit more prfessional.<br />
<br />
Both the artwork and graphics are shaping up to look pretty sharp and I'm quite pelased with how things are going. My only regret is that there's not 40hours in a day, while I'm making plenty of measurable progress it always seems like there's so much more to do. <br />
<br />
I'm well on schedual to having a game ready to demo at Adepticon. I should have things ready to roll this week unlike last years where I was down to the wire until the nigt before the convention. I learned a lot of stuff from the last minute rush last year and while it went smoothly I always like improving and refining on my previous works.<br />
<br />
In other dealings I also picked up several great models this week which will all be getting their own highlight posts (when I have time to tackle them). A local store is launching a Mordheim league which prompted me to drag out my old models and pick up some new ones as I absolutely love that game. I combed through my bits box to find all my long ignored fantasy pieces and ordered stuff that I can use for some new warbands. <br />
<br />
Tau also had their release this week, but there were some sort of production issues so they are in very short supply. Being a fan of all things mecha related I have a couple of the new models on order but they likely won't be in for a couple weeks which means I am a sad panda with an empty wallet with not much to show for it at the moment.<br />
<br />
Season 2 for Zombicide also closed which was the major knock out blow to my wallet. I love the game and supported the new kickstarter, but having dropped $300 on models I won't see for 6-8 months it can be kinda harsh. The wait sucks but man when that box arrives I'll be crazy happy. I got tons of mileage out of the first release and once the second one arrives I'll have an insane number of survivors to use and lots of tiles for huge custom games. <br />
<br />
The kickstarters have been kinda steep on price but I really like helping support a great start up company like Guillotine Games and they have an awesome product. This time of year is always expensive as there's a lot of convention to hit and a lot of great models released before summer. I always seem to be flat broke during the spring but such are the perils of the gaming life.<br />
<br />
Anyways that's a brief update from my very busy desk and I'm hoping to have more Mecha Front info to share after Adepticon.Mech Dudehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04203882114960519752noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4447204320981549752.post-87993307269950161202013-03-05T14:15:00.001-08:002013-03-05T14:16:24.241-08:00More Previews from the FrontHere's a few more pieces of concept art for Mecha Front.

So far I think it's looking pretty good although I'm dreading having to design the hip connection points. <br />
<br />
The quad is on a 120mm base and is slightly over 80mm tall so it's a very big boy. <br />
<br />
Comments & critique are welcome.<br />

It's going to be a skirmish level game focused on what else but giant stompy robots pounding each other into oblivion. It'll be a N-Scale 15mm game which means the mecha will range between 50-70mm tall depending on the weight class. <br />
<br />
Standard units will be mounted on 60mm bases and the super heavy quad mechs will use either a 90mm or 120mm base. The game will be focused on quick action and game play, average model count is 4-5 mecha per side. Typical game time will be 30-45 minutes. <br />
<br />
The rules will be maintained as a living pdf document so players will always have free access to the latest updates and it will allow for me to address any game play issues without forcing players to buy new copies of the rules. <br />
<br />
Here are some of the rough concepts, I will update with samples of the rules and 3d renders as I progress. So far things have been coming together beautifully and I'm very excited about this project. <br />

It's about 50% done and I'm pretty happy with how it's been going. My workflow speed is improving, this is about 8 hours of work split over two days. I expect to have it finished shortly after Christmas.<br />

Mech Dudehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04203882114960519752noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4447204320981549752.post-88156359309634220472012-07-17T05:00:00.002-07:002012-07-17T06:14:24.215-07:00Where'd the pics go?I know that most of your guys probably aren't sifting through my older posts so it's not something that jumps out but I've removed almost all pictures of the 1/285th scale Robotech models. <br />
<br />
The main reason is that I don't want them being used to promote any potential Robotech game. The minis grabbed a lot of attention with potential players, which was fine at the time but now that I won't be involved with the project I want to avoid generating any confusion with new readers. <br />
<br />
I've been getting a lot of emails about the minis asking if they'll still be used, or about what plans might be in place etc. All I can say is that my versions will <u>not</u> be used at all. I have no clue who they might be getting to do sculpts or what quality they might be or even "if" they are going to actually be produced. <br />
<br />
I wasn't privy to any information other than what we'd discussed relating specifically to my minis. So that means when it comes to what can we expect to see? Well, your guesses are as good as mine.<br />
<br />
From what they've made available on their website, Palladiums newest announcement said they have the rights arranged with Harmony Gold, but at this point they are at the most basic stages of development and indicates they don't have sculpts sourced. <br />
<br />
They may have the rights to make miniatures but that doesn't mean it's an ironclad guarantee that anything will actually be made. You can always buy rights to a product and choose not to exercise them. Will we see minis? I have no clue. Will they be any good? Again I have no clue.<br />
<br />
They seemed to be looking for the lower end of industry pay standard so IMO that doesn't bode well for sculpt quality. If they decide to fund it properly maybe they'll get some top notch sculptors, but if they are looking for average or lower pay then the miniatures will reflect that.<br />
<br />
(which is also why I don't want people thinking my sculpts are the ones be developed by Palladium) <br />
<br />
They want a product made as cheaply possible with maximum profit, which is a standard business practice. However my personal feelings are that if you have a well sculpted professional product you will see far greater sales than a run of the mill sculpt that you could get from Reaper or Iron Wind for example. <br />
<br />
I was willing to scrape my teeth in order to get the mini made as it's something I was passionate about. It's a tremendous amount of work to sculpt a 30-40 model range especially if you are trying to juggle a team of freelancers. They may find artists willing to work in that price range but I don't think the quality will be there and the time lag will be massive. I'll be interested to see what type of product (if any) they manage.<br />
<br />
<br />
What about about rules? I have no clue. <br />
<br />
Rules weren't really one of the things I was pushing, I was working on my MSIA adaptation simply to have something to show minis off with and generate interest with. It was never a serious consideration to begin with as my primary concern was with the miniatures themself. <br />
<br />
Palladium's announcement only mentions them producing the miniatures as accessories for their RPG line, there's no mention of a miniatures rules system. Maybe that's something that will be addressed in the future or it could be an indicator of a line exclusively of miniatures and rules may not be a feature, I'm not sure. <br />
<br />
Regardless of how it pans out I'm sure people will use them with Battletech, or Tomorrow's War or whatever system they are partial too. Likely any of those choices would be better than a Palladium system anyways so I don't see that as a loss. <br />
<br />
<br />
I do want to say thank you for all the kind comments and support I've received about the minis. It's encouraging to get that stuff and know that there are fans out there. Parting with Palladium at this point is a very good thing, I've gotten some serious notice from other companies and it's generated several sculpting commissions for custom mecha. It's also freed up time to work on my own personal sculpts again. It's going to allow me to focus on my own designs which grants me a lot more creative freedom and personal satisfaction.<br />
<br />
I also thought I'd share a bit on insight from several former Palladium staffers which is well worth the read. It also gives me a further reinforcement that not working with them on the project any further is a major blessing. <br />
