Once in a while something not painted by me...
I had the opportunity to buy some Southern Jackrabbit bikes from “sackofmonkeys”, I was blown away how well our painting styles fit each other. Even I have difficulties to see the difference... (Mamba Gear by me, bike by him!).



He even included some converted minifigs civilians!
A true gentleman!

Wow! He really does paint like you! That bike is awesome.

"NuCoal is an alliance of city-states in the badlands. The city states formed a united government to provide protection from the massive Northern and Southern polar forces that have a histroy of taking advantage of the smaller independent city-states found throughout the Badlands of Terra Nova. A controversial addition was the city-state of Port Arthur, founded by abandoned CEF forces. Port Arthur provided a strong military backbone, including over one hundred thousand GREL supersoldiers, while NuCoal developed their own military.

NuCoal became a major player during the War for Terra Nova, the CEF's second invasion attempt. The CEF has focused on targets within NuCoal's territory for unknown reasons, and NuCoal has deployed their military to repel the invaders. They are fielding a force of new designs ranging from the tiny high-speed Jerboa Recon Gear to the massive Hussar Tankstrider."

As soon as the NuCoal Fusilier tank came out I LOVED the design. Even owning no NuCoal army (yet), I needed that model badly.
I now came finally around to paint it.


I deliberately chose to make it more rugged and used looking as todays flawless DP9 paintjobs.
Works for me...

Pretty cool mate. Looking good.

Your Heavy Gear stuff is awesome. I too like the fusilier and will probably get two, along with a sampson. Although the new humanist alliance hovertanks do look nice too. LIke to keep with a 'hovering' theme with my Nucoal

Also where did you get those thinner bases on your gears and infantry? I think i like them.

The Gear bases are GW flyer bases. I took these since at that time few other bases were around .
Currently I am mostly using mdf bases from http://www.warbases.co.uk/...

Nice job. Really like the looks on the NuCoal Fusiliers.

Beautiful! Smooth painting and vibrant colors.

Rebased some more bikes...

Nice models! Any tips or tricks in assembling them? I did the same thing and picked up some hovertanks way before the rest of my Nucoal army and will likely be assembling the two squads over the coming holidays. I'm not sure what base I'll use or if I'll use the supplied peg but I suspect that answer will depend on how well I can magnetize them onto it.

Sorry - not real tip here...

I am always using either Fenris plastic bases or mdf bases.
Then some milliput on the base and stick the peg into the still "shapable" milliput.
Easy.

For my latest book (http://www.wargamevault.com/product/123481/) I needed a hover IFV.

So time to dig out my DP9 Heavy Gear CEF HPC-64 APC and give it some paint!
