Overlord-C CJF Quatrefoil
Clan Jade Falcon's Gamma Galaxy had about ten Clusters, and each of them required transport capability to get to and from places. Attached to "my" Cluster was CJF Quatrefoil that Sarna's wiki declared to be a plain Overlord or maybe a Command variant. I didn't care about that, I modeled mine as the C version.
My five-Trinary Cluster would fully fit in an Overlord-C, and its mothership, an Aegis-class Battle Cruiser CJF Scabbard could then carry four DropShips in its docking rings. No worries, I wasn't going to go that far and also implement AeroTech.
Weaponry
I mumbled quite a bit about this while painting. Not all was modeled religiously so there was space for just for storytelling. All in all I found a place for six ER PPCs, two ER Large Lasers, two Large Pulse Lasers, and trusted that the rest of the long-range fury was provided by cleverly hidden triplet of LRM-20 launchers with the Artemis IV Fire Control System. The closer-range punch was provided by a dozen Medium Pulse Lasers divided into four rotating turrets, and also turret-installed UAC/5 and UAC/20 sets.
Despite being modeled in vastly different scales the OmniMechs and the Overlord-C looked neat posing next to each other. I didn't fish out my maps for these photos, that stuff had to wait a bit.
Using the white background cloth with a light grey target was me begging for problems in the photo editing stage, so I skipped the swearing part and didn't even try to flatten the background. This was easier with the blue background but I still needed to improve on my process quite a bit. While cleaning up the photos I was thinking that if I had a couple of A3 sheets it'd be simpler, as long as I managed to keep them smooth and crinkle-free. The fabric background left plenty of artifacs in the jpegs at least in this scale, the normal 1:35 scale models were much easier.
These insignia made me unspeakably happy in general, and I was also surprisingly happy with something as simple as painting an oversized Kinder egg grey :D
