I saw a great modification of Resistance Freeriders (over on Orbital Bombardment) the other day and decided that I'd like to try and augment my new PHR Long Reach Sniper Team bases. Tart them up a bit, as it were.
The Mordian 7th (who does some terrific work, BTW) seeing what I did with the swept wing Valkyrie/Vendetta idea, wanted a look at the way I did my Vendetta Lascannons. Always eager to please, here you go...
Sad but true fact: I’m getting old. My eyesight has been less than optimal since I entered this world, it’s not getting any better, and lately painting the details has become a headache-inducing-eye-straining-torture. My wife bought me one of these…
After scouring the 6th edition MRB this weekend I thought a fresh bunch of counters based on the new information were in order. Also, I thought that they would help me/us in figuring out what is basically a new game by keeping things on the table crystal clear.
Well, the plasticard cutting part of my Dreadclaw build is done so I thought it about time to post the files and the progress. It’s not an expertly done job by any means, but it gets the point across. As a first effort I think I’ve done OK, so far.

I’ve known about eMachineshop.com’s free CAD software for quite awhile. In fact, I designed the prototype SAW-050 with it. On Friday I wrote this big How-To on making a power claw or Dread CCW with it, but I decided that was too convoluted to be of any use to anyone. So, my goal here is to just show you really simply what can be done with this excellent free software.
