Merlin 3D Sculpt
Added 2023-01-25 23:15:56 +0000 UTCHere's one that's been seen around a bit, but here are some nice clear 3D renders. The Merlin.
It wasn't a standout favorite mech of mine, but Harri Kallio had a really nice design sketch of it laying around that he was able to spruce up into this final form.
Eliza Gibbs then did the 3D sculpt you see here, with final edits and posing by me.
Feel free to share around the mood image!

2023-02-13 15:52:40 +0000 UTCYeeeeeesssss. The Merlin is a fave and I'm so happy to see it. Hopefully we'll soon see a Lineholder and a Marshal to go with it. Trooper mechs don't get enough love.
2023-02-06 03:38:43 +0000 UTCNope. I only do official work, so you'll see this in the Mercs Kickstarter this year as a plastic mini.

2023-02-01 16:16:27 +0000 UTCI'd this available as a print??

2023-02-01 16:16:13 +0000 UTCYep, lots of PPCs with emitter arrays.

2023-01-28 23:52:30 +0000 UTCAs far as I know, every PPC internally has that pattern of emitters in the barrel, the minis are just too small to show it in detail (Griffin TRO art vs mini) I guess with the Merlin they finally made one big enough to show off that way

2023-01-28 17:35:20 +0000 UTCShrapnel 11, “Seal the deal” is the last story of the issue. It follows Brandon O’Leary from a little kid in 2990 to when he has just inherited Mountain Wolf BattleMechs in 3010 and does the initial sales pitch for the Merlin.

2023-01-27 20:16:53 +0000 UTCThat’s a weird looking PPC, does any other ‘Mech have that five-portholes design on the barrel? Otherwise I love it. Especially after that short in the latest Shrapnel about the life of the designer/CEO.

2023-01-27 17:35:27 +0000 UTCI was always intrigued by this mech, never had a chance to play it. Over the years I’ve come to greatly respect the Vindicator, and the Merlin always seemed to be a beefed up Vindicator, so the intrigue to play is even heightened with this new look.

2023-01-26 18:23:33 +0000 UTCI don't know what it is, but this particular redesign has really inspired me. I never cared about this mech one way or the other in the past, but just love it now. There's a Raven Alliance Binary in my future because of this mech.

2023-01-26 08:21:28 +0000 UTCI'll be painting mine in Raven colors. The Merlin C is a beast!
