Time for an update. Had some time to paint due to being sick at home. 
It's not yet finished though....
I always wanted to finish one force before beginning to paint the next one - however, I just couldn't resist painting the mightiest of all Inner Sphere Mechs: The "Atlas". And boy, it is HUGE.

A sashimono (back banner) has been added, taken from a 1/72 Zvezda Samurai warrior. The Kurita crest is a decal, the kanji
are written using a fineliner. The Sword Of Light regiment's warriors
are strictly following the code of the Samurai - as such, I wanted them
to look a little like their ancient forefathers. The shoulders looked a
little empty so I added a cherry-blossom painting on both sides.
A little bit of warning decals here and there to break up the overall
red appearance. Back details of the fusion reactor core and heat sinks.
I wasn't sure if the strictly red paintjob of the Sword Of Light regiment will please me at the size of an N-scale Mech, but now as the job is nearly done, I really like the look.
The side reveals another detail bit I added: the Autocannon/20 barrel was extended with a barrel from a Wh40k Meltagun.
This kit is an (all-metal) so-called Museum Scale Mech from Ral Partha Europe. I converted it a little bit though, adding a few bits here and there.

that is so huge that even in 20mm it would be formidable. but in 15mm!!!!!!!!!!! send in the air-force
Is the back banner from the new Zvezda Art of Tactic game? I've been looking at those Samurai in the local model shop and wondering if they'd have a banner to fit the regular Hatamoto-Chi mini.
Dunno, mate. Its in 1/72 scale. Might be a tad too tall for CBT scale.
