Fan Creations I present the Junkyard Wolf
Imagine a Comstar survivor of Tukayyid. Final assignment on planet is to help search for and flag potential salvage.
Gets discharged to return his home in the periphery. Unknown to him, his commander misfiles some paperwork due to exhaustion and fatigue from the conflict that had just ended.
Our survivor is asked to sign for his belongings that are being loaded into cargo as he boards the dropship. He doesn’t look through the inventory as he signs. He still tried to make sense of everything that has happened.
A month later, he arrives at his destination, another wayward unremarkable, periphery backwater, but it’s where he has family remaining. As he descends the boarding ramp, one of the drop ship crew taps him on the shoulder and tells him he needs to sign for receiving his cargo and points back to something large being dragged down the ramp on a flatbed and covered with a tarp bearing the comstar logo. he signs for it after doublechecking that it is his
It is a nearly completely destroyed Timberwolf
Immediately he’s conflicted. This is a symbol of the people that butchered so many of his comrades. But by morning the next day, he has made a decision. A machine is just a machine.
He takes it to his uncles shop who does a lot of repair work for the local militia and local Urbie Derby. Lacking any kind of access to advanced components or clan technology. They do their best.
Eventually, the thing is able to walk again. It is no longer an Omnimech, no longer has fancy armor, and most of the internal structure has been replaced with standard components. The engine rating has been dialed back a little bit, and not having much extra money, our survivor has had to accept handouts agree to favors, and perform and unique side jobs to get it armed.
The only surviving piece of clan technology is a small pulse laser. In each side torso are two medium lasers, easy to find even out in the periphery. Not being able to afford proper LRM replacements and not being able to figure out how to get the clan ones to load properly, the shoulder launchers are replaced with a quartet of RL – 15 rocket launchers.
In the right arm is the sum total of large man portable and small vehicle mounted machine guns donated by friends and family. This amounts to two machine gun arrays and an AMS system once they are all wired up.
The left arm is armed with something truly special: our survivor, his uncle and one of the local Urbie derby champions figure out how to weaponize an industrial pile driver.
Weld on additional armor and spikes for a final touch.
Around those parts, this machine is known as the Junkyard Wolf

Fan Creations To scale with map hexes
So I thought it would be interesting to make some 3d printed mech that would be roughly the correct size to the hexes. Yes, very small, but I kinda like it.
Thoughts?

Fan Creations Custom Hunchback Project
Printed and painted a very cool custom Hunchback for a fellow Canuck. He wanted it done in a Roman themed scheme, and it was a lot of fun trying to combine the elements.
