Ever get into the mood to make mech minis but not use them in Battletech? Many
moons ago(1977) a very impressionable young boy went to see Star
Wars fifty-three times. It really warped his mind, let me tell you !
Afterwards he quit drawing space shuttles, Viking landers and the Saturn 5 and
started drawing galactic battleships, stellar cruisers and ground based war
machines of unbelievable size and weaponry. Every rendition was bigger, more
heavily armed than the last. Then that boy decided to make these at a fraction
of the scale imagined. This is where Messenhauffer Armaments and the many
others I dont no longer use came from. Ever since that time, I have tried to
set down and finish all the designs stuck in my head and get them on paper.
Now is the time put the Battletech stuff away for a bit(I will finish my
Fantech commitments first) and concentrate on finishing the universe of
GalacTec. In the title of this post, you will notice "Project Martiki".
Martiki is my version of "Janes" which I spawned back in 1982. So I will set
up my pages with the generic stats of whatever unit I show and the appropriate
specs for Full Thrust/Dirtside and then Aerotech/Battletech and
Battleforce.
Just to let you know, the FulThrust/Aerotech book has 100+ pages in it,
so the task isnt small and I am not going to guarentee it will get finished. I
just feel the urge. Also, I have been talking to a few game manufacturers
about adding this to their line or at least making the minis that could come
from this. Time will tell. If anything, I'll have one hell of a big artwork
gallery.

So to start off the Project Martiki, here is the Punisher Heavy Walker
W.I.P.
