MW4 Templar

Yet another model I wanted for so long and yet another one I have stolen from the great master shiftdel. Sorry about that shiftdel.

The Templar has been a long time fav for me, and also for many other of the paper model community. It has been requested many a time. A while back a member over at mechwar3.org asked me if I could do a special request for him since he would like to make a plastic / resin Templar I thought it was time to get working on it since it was long over due.
I released the paper model a while back but never posted anywhere that I have done so. It is good to see many lurkers around who frequently visit my download page and I see even here it has some downloads.

I rushed through the built because I really want to start building the Dervish so I did a quick built during last week and over the long weekend. This model has fewer parts 55 or so compared to the usual 70 odd parts of other MW4 paper model mechs and was a easy built hardest part perhaps the cockpit window, not that it is tricky or anything.

Oky, so onto the built pics.

Great design and a terrific skin on this one, Blaar. Besides the camo, is there some weathering on there too? The GDL death's head insignia adds a sinister element to this menacing mech. Wonderful job!

Thanks for the comments.

All the textures used by MechWarrior 4 Mercs have some weathering effects yes.........I try to color the edges to match those using oil pastels.

Must say it is very messy using oil pastels but getting the color to match is easier for me than to try doing it with paint. Also if the color is not perfect, you can wipe most of it off with a few rubs and then you can try again.

Once again it is messy........so be careful when using oil pastels, getting marks all over you model can happen real easy.

I still need to apply a coat or two of artist fixative so that the pastels want come off over the years or when handling the model.

Also my edge coloring is not that great, looking at after taking the photo's I can see some off colors and white marks that I have missed with my bare eyes.

GDL is one of my fav merc units

A beautiful build of a very fine mech Blaar my friend.
Very pleasing indeed to see a mech in GDL colours. I too like the GDL.

Kind and Respectful regards Blaar my friend, Uyraell.

I've always liked the Templar. Even if the Wobbies developed it. Nice work, Blaar!
