It does and thensome!!

RACs are Rotary Auto Cannons - think Gatalin Guns on an Autocannon scale; said to use smaller ammo but have a higher firing rate; also they overheat more, cannot use special ammo, and come in just two flavours - RAC/2 and RAC/5.

Some Ultra and Hyper versions have multiple barrels like RACs.

No idea why

Hope that helps

What does the /2 and /5 marks indicate? Gauge? Salvos per shot?

Anyway, once again thanks for your friendly replies!

F*** knows - some say its gauge - as in 20MM for the RAC/2 and 50 for the RAC/5.

Others say "to hit ratio". Its all BS to me

One tries sir

From what I have seen, the /2 and /5 marks indicate the number of barrels in an RAC.

You know me and Battletech: I've got no clue what it's all about really.
But I love your Battletech pictures! Make me want to own one of those Mechs and take it to work and destroy everything!!
Okay, so much for me and my weird fantasies ...
Another one of your Kaboom!-pics and you are aware of how much I love them so I won't waste any more space here. Good job!!!
Sorry for taking so long again to comment. Life's a bit stressful at the moment ...

I am actually planning to read through the story he has written... seems I didnt have my adobe reader updated so will do so now I do like the explosions quite a lot. I really ought to try my hand with concept work like yours as well

i certainly will let him know Mechwarrior/battletech has been a favourite series to me for some time. It is weird I never had the guts to draw something along those lines And will see what I can do. Almost have some vacation time so will give it a shot.

Colourbrand In reply to HandofManos [2012-08-12 13:45:11 +0000 UTC]

DO! Love to see what you come up with - but like to see you tackle dropships, fighters, and warships - makes a change from ALWAYS battlemechs.

However, the choice is yours my friend

HandofManos In reply to Colourbrand [2012-08-12 20:36:23 +0000 UTC]

Technical might not be a 'big' issue (need to do some digging and inspiration hunting. Concepting like this piece will be more difficult yet it might be a nice challenge

Yes! Turn that piece-of-crap Legacy into scrap!

I love the design elements you brought to life in the Precentor. The colors are lively and add shape to it, while the destruction of the Precentor feels almost visceral, and I can imagine the tremors shaking the ground even as it dissolves under the merciless hail of fire!

Well done! Another favorite for you!

Aaah my god, I can only imagine how much time this must have
taken. I don't think I could think of attempting something this complex myself. Kudos!

Your description of the process taken is fascinating. It's neat to hear
that you had to teach yourself new methods as you worked.

As for the turnout, I don't think it can be improved! The composition is amazing,
and the action and explosions rock the house!

Colourbrand In reply to I-Plexiglass [2012-08-07 18:46:37 +0000 UTC]

Cheers for your supporting words!

This was the hardest work I have ever done in art; it was a real task - a real effort. It took me probably four months on and off. I just did not know where to go or how to do it.

Like you said - I had to learn new skills and it all came off

I am glad you love this - and I have confidence in you young man! If I can - YOU can!

I-Plexiglass In reply to Colourbrand [2012-08-10 15:49:08 +0000 UTC]

Support is what I give with joy.

I don't think I could do something like this. It's all very complex;
you have to think about positioning and colour, composition, texture, feel...
It's amazing what you can learn from a challenge!

Your works never cease to inspire me, as we all can learn from each other
Cheers!

"Support is what I give with joy"

That is the quote of the year!

I think you can - this near killed me because of the very reasons you stipulated. So if I just made it I think anyone can - so go for it

Anytime sir
