lord rahl nice work, i think there is just too much sharpness to the whole image though, especially around the planets

[Yosemite]

Drew this entirely by freehand/freemouse on MS Paint, rather than overlaying photographs and whatnot.
Basically, Maximilian von Compton at age 17, in the paramilitary uniform of the National Humanist Imperial Labour Party.

At an early age, Prince Maximilian of the Terran Empire was an open National Humanist, and after being invested as Crown Prince of the Terran Empire in 6267, was elected General-Secretary of the party within the next month. Around half of the Imperial Parliament were members of the National Humanists, the only legal party of the Empire, and Maximilian's election as head of the party, and appointment as Prime Minister of the Empire, gave him enormous power and experience as a governing ruler; he made a name for himself as a powerful orator, and an hawkish advocate of war against the alien races of the Milky Way. This opportunity came with an all-out galactic conflict between two powerhouse alliances in December of 6267.
Maximilian's father, Francis Charles, would tragically die in battle a year later, and the young 18-year old Prince Maximilian would take the throne; within seven years of his coronation, he would galvanize the collective human war effort, and reorganize a conquered galaxy as a centralized dictatorship which, while holding National Humanism as the state ideology, would not abide political parties of any sort. Maximilian would tolerate no mixed loyalties in his new Central Galactic Union.
However, much of the National Humanist's membership would be subsumed into the government, its symbols and colours appropriated as those of the State, and the paramilitary arm would serve as the template for the Union's dreaded security force, the Stormguard.

Great pic

You made that up? You must have a lot of free time.

[MaximiIian]

Well, me and my friend made it up. And yeah, we do have a lot of free time.
It's part of a huge sci-fi epic story we've been working on for years. I posted up a timeline of events prior to the story itself on AH.com, as a reference guide of sorts. I've talked about it here quite a bit, especially in this thread where I've posted a lot of pics related to it.

[Holger Danske]

Battlefield 2142, anyone???

[Carl von Döbeln]

You're talented holger

[haloband]

Battlefield 2142, anyone???

Sweet!!! Very nice.

[Mangalore]

You are getting really good at this modelling stuff, Holger

[Yosemite]

sup guis

[Holger Danske]

You are getting really good at this modelling stuff, Holger

Thanks Had a lot of practice too over the past couple of years..


Here's my latest contribution to the Infinity community.



It should be a fully working and textured model in a few months... Keep your eyes open for YouTube previews!

[The Sundance Kid]

And this is all on SketchUp, Holger? Way cool.

[Holger Danske]

Yep I tried Blender but failed epic at it..

A brief biography to accompany a character drawing. Again, from that story.
Paul Albert Rudolph Lanning, better known as simply Rudolph Lanning.
Date of Birth: June 17, 6248.
Place of Birth: Berlin, Earth.

Son of an old Terran family with a long military tradition, Rudolph Lanning was raised around the militaristic society of the Terran aristocracy. As such, he enlisted in the Terran Imperial Army after secondary school. After completing the two-year program at the Military Academy in Munich in a year's time, he was commissioned a junior officer in 6267. Serving with distinction during the Great War, he rose through the field officer ranks to become a Colonel by 6270. The next year, Emperor Maximilian brought the brilliant commander onto his staff as a Lieutenant General; within the next half-decade, Lanning rose as the Emperor's most trusted military advisor, and became the leading Field Marshal in the empire as the Chief of the General Staff.
Lanning's strategic theory resulted in a total shift in army doctrine; rather than using large units and stiff upper-echelon planning, Lanning reorganized the troops into smaller and smaller tactical units, and gave lower officers and NCO's more control over achieving their objectives. Furthermore, he made sure that all Division-level formations were truly combined-arms units with armour, infantry, and artillery regiments; this gave small units massive versatility and capability in the field. The victory in the Great War led to the creation of a new Union- the Central Galactic Union.

Lanning himself was not a very political man, but he had been educated around and raised with the prejudices and beliefs of the preceding generation, and in the military that generally meant human nationalism and a fair degree of aristocratic conservatism. So, when Maximilian's new republic advocated the implementation of National Humanism without the need for political parties, Lanning expressed enthusiastic support. In Maximilian's cabinet, Lanning was made Minister of War and conferred the supreme military rank of Reichsmarschall, as well as keeping his position as the Army Chief of Staff and Chief of the Wehrmacht General Staff. He brought his reforms into the CGU military, and made it into a powerful force of two hundred billion soldiers, which he used effectively to put down a large revolt in the late 6270's. Gradually, as a member of the Union government, he became more and more inclined towards National Humanist ideology.

In 6288, he was given a new task by his Dictator and Führer: to mobilize the Wehrmacht for total war against a new alien enemy: the Zaaroft Imperium. It would prove a daunting task, but one that could very well make him a hero in the eyes of the human race.
In this picture, he is shown in the uniform of the Reichsmarschall, a pearl-grey open-neck jacket with black lapels and gold piping, under which he wears the regulation brown shirt of the civil service and government. He displays the Cross of Union (left breast pocket), Star of the Grand Cross of the Iron Cross (right breast pocket), Grand Cross of the Iron Cross, and Order Pour le Mérite, along with several award ribbons on the jacket's left breast. He holds the specially-made white Reichsmarschall's baton, in contrast to the red baton of an Army Field Marshal and the blue baton of a Navy Grand Admiral.

Since we are on the subject of Mechs. Here is another one of mine. Sorry for the loss of detail, I shrunk it down from the original size of 1600 x 1050 so that it would fit on this page.

[MaximiIian]

Cool mech.
I usually make mine a bit more streamlined and whatnot, but it's not exactly realistic that way. Yours is a tad more of a realist mecha design: bulky, short, basically a walking helicopter-gunship. XD
