Greeting all, that's the pictures of my little UNA army, the Cobalts!
When i saw the FC concecpt on UNA AB, i loved that "crab" form, and i tryed to convert it like the sketch;

I've passed months searching a way to make decals of the white color, without spending a big amount of money, finally when all my hopes were about to disappear, i finally found a way!
I asked to a shirt-printer shop to stamp on a decals paper, and that's the result!

Last, i love Bortz as hero, but i always play him on foot, so i decided to suit him with something more "comfortable" for the battlefield!
 
Hope you enjoy!
(ps, someone can tell me ho to remove that hateful "share this image on twitter!"  )

Edited since OP got his images to work.
Nicely done!
And since you are using image shack they now add that to "hot links".

Awsome indeed! Probably some of the best seen here for a while. Can you tell us a little bit more about the conversion of the FC? And how did you do custom white transfers? I know how to do custom transfers, but white isnt regulary a separate colour in most printers.

First of all, Thanks Dangereux!
As previously said (Maybe i've not expressed it quite well) i get some decals papers from E-Bay, then i found a Shirt-printer shop, disposed to stamp on sheets in white color (i've got to corrupt the sales woman with a box of chocolate candy).
About the conversion, i've made a rough sketch.. i hope that will help your comprension!
I've rotated the inner legs mechanism (RED) of 180°, then i simply added between the new leg and the hull (BLUE) a tough plastic pipe, adapting it to the right distance. It's more simple than it can look!
Ecco fatto! |

Hey, smart idea there with the t-shirt shop! Thanks for providing that sketch, it really helps understanding. Once again, great work!

Great job with the FC. Gives it a more dynamic look and an air of menace.  I like the rest of the minis, too! |

Great job, both on converting and painting. I would love to see a group pic of your army!

The repaints are great, but the FC conversion is astonishing.
Could you please post a tutorial on how it was done? (the pic you have posted wasn't quite clear enough for me... )
Grazie! |

| The conversion is amazingly cool, but what I'm really floored by is the weathering/detail work. I forgot for a second that I was looking at tiny models... I've never seen weathering look quite that realistic. I'd like tutorials on THAT. |
