MechWarrior 2: Resource Forum

i do have some Dark Age novels
but I dont recall which ones i have

Oh, I forgot the most important part of my collection. I have a lot of mechs made of paper. Most of the mechs seen in the video game Mech Commander 2 are in black and white with a 1/60 scale. I have ~20 mechs in color at a scale which is close of 1/120.

I hope you'll be able to add a good number of MW2 paper models to that collection, and that we will be able to use the textures for MW2.

Oh, and now that I post in this thread, I have to add what is in my BT collection: most TRO's, many rule books and source books, some PDF downloads from battlecorps.com - they just don't block as much cupboard space - many editions of MW2, German and English versions of MW3, MW3:PM (not available in German), and a complete collection of MW4, which I hardly ever played.

Some of my painted minis ... many more are not yet painted ...

what paint scheme did you do on the Timber Wolf?
I dont recognize it off hand

The Timby scheme reminds me the Clan Hell's Horses Alpha Keshik...
Here are some examples of what can be done with paper and mechs:

1/120 scale mechs:

The Atlas is 13cm tall, the Shadow Cat ~7.5cm.

I realize I am years late, but if any of you are still reading this and have the TYCO Battletech Bushwhacker, I just rediscovered mine, except it is missing the windshield. If anyone has a spare windshield or is willing to sell me parts or pieces, I'd love to have a full figure again.

You guys know there are several Battletech audio books?

I really like them and you can download from a site online...

(Sad, but I think the orignal producer, Defiance Audio, shut down online site...)

Even emailed the guy who does the voices, (Chris Graybill) and told him how good he did as various characters...

PS: SIr Rad, was there a Star Colonel Malthus "Thor" toy battlemech that went with the others that were based on the BT cartoon series?

I know they stopped making the cassets (not sure if they were released on CD) a long time ago, but they are still selling digital coppies of the audiobooks in WMA format.

While you can download the files, if memory serves me right I belive you purchase the rights to play the file when you try openin it up and playing it. How long you have access to play it, how many times you can ply it, and how many computers/devices you can play it on all depends upon how Defiance Audio set it up.

I have done this once with one song several years ago and ran into a problem, when reinstalled Windows XP it counted as me opening it up on a new machine, so in less than two years i had used up all five licenses. Back in those days I was a bit rough on my installations of Windows and rather than taking the time to do proper maintanance I rand them into the ground untill they no longer worked and whiped it all out with a format and fresh install of Windows. As an interesting side-note; I have noticed that Windows7 is very good at keeping file fragmentation down to a minimal, it is barely worth a guys time and effort to try to defragment after freashly installing Win7 and all the drivers & updates. I later found out that MS did a large study on file fragmentation arround the late XP / early Vista days, so if your files are fragmented in large chunks (like 25-30MB) it will not even bother defragmenting them in Win7, along with other alterations including how the system writes data to the disk.
