Kurita Strike Force

Hi!

Well heres the second batch of Battletech gubbins I've been working on, this time the bad guys of Kurita!

Kurita Strike Force

The Kurita force landed on Farpoint six standard days ago and are currently hiding out in the forested hinterlands only emerging to raid Davion supply convoys and hit unsuspecting garrisons.

Thus far it appears to be only a raiding party sent to disrupt the planet and tie down military assets that could be better used but who knows what plans the inscrutable Kurita have up their sleeves!

 Another Shot of the Action

Interestingly, with some of the plastic Mechs I have managed to keep their moving parts free so they can be posed to a limited extent such as with the Cugar:

The Cugar 

I have actually done quite a bit of converting on this Mech as its original weapons were a bit feeble. I removed its original underslung arm lasers and replaced them with some considerably more chunky ones made from plastic rod and tubing.

Likewise I added a HMG on its right side to give it some much needed anti infantry defence. Its also had a shoulder mounted missile launcher added and the torso launchers have been replaced to give it a more powerful punch.

 Another Shot!

 And Another!

According to the technical readouts, the Cugar is a 35 ton machine but I find that the plastic Mechwarrior stuff has some scale issues as the tanks tend to be undersize and the Mechs a bit on the big side, especially when you compare the two mechs below::

Cugar and Black Hawk

Theres supposed to be ten tons difference between them with the Black Hawk the heavier but they look much the same size! Its not too much of a bother to be honest but does result in some odd sizing!

Hopefully my next addition will be a Davion ace Mech jock with her customised Black Hawk but I need to wait for some more bases to turn up before I can get to work on painting!

All the best!
