I've been tinkering with the Trajan again, and decided to give it a new look similar to what I did with the Horatius. Also, added decals.
The hull number represents the infamous 144th Strike Legion (The Slaying Hands). The 144th was one of the first units to deploy the (then) new heavy tank, and successfully used it to destroy the KessRith defenders on the planet Plato III.
The graffiti is from the original artwork and kinda foretells what's in store for those facing this deadly vehicle.
I know I said that I was done with the Seeker, but there were a few things that were bugging me about it that I felt needed to be fixed. So I did just that, and while I was at it, I added some decals.
The "Multum In Parvo" was drawn on the vehicle in the original artwork. According to Google, it means...."Much in Little". And the hull number is the 354th Renegade Armored Legion (The Brave).
Got a little work done on the Spartius. Mostly refining the turret shape and size and rearranging some things around. I moved it more to the center. It was originally offset to match the schematic, but it seemed a bit too much imo, so I exercised some artistic license. I also added the crew hatch windscreens and the hull number for the 8876th Strike Legion (The Mailed Fist).
In addition to the models I've already started, I'm thinking of building at least 2-3 more for the CW/RL faction. I will probably build one medium tank and an antiaircraft vehicle, and I'm still debating the third. We'll see.
I have finished the Lupis. This is a huge milestone for this on-going project because it marks the completion of all the main front-line grav vehicles for the TOG faction, in addition to a few other designs.
So, what's next?
My modeling schedule for 2024 is to finish up the Commonwealth/Renegade Legion vehicles hopefully by the end of the first quarter, and then start Phase 2 of the project......the Interceptors.
There are six fighters that I need to do. One light, medium and heavy fighter, respectively, for each side. Since they don't have detailed schematics like the tanks and APCs, they will be a lot more challenging. There are several more fighter designs I also find interesting and I may model some of them as well depending on whether I have the time.
After that (sometime down the road) comes Phase 3. This will be the Leviathan capital ships. That will be fun!
Anywho, that's it. I will have the recognition sheet ready in the next day or two, so stay tuned.
