Hey jongens,
gezien de Timberwolf gedurende een paar weken op stal staat een snel projectje tussendoor : De Goliath.
BattleMech Technical Readout
Type/Model: Goliath GOL-1H
Tech: Inner Sphere / 3025
Config: Quad BattleMech
Rules: Level 1, Standard design
Mass: 80 tons
Chassis: Nennison 40 Standard
Power Plant: 320 Brigadier 1000F Fusion
Walking Speed: 43.2 km/h
Maximum Speed: 64.8 km/h
Jump Jets: None
Jump Capacity: 0 meters
Armor Type: 3/Star Slab Standard
Armament:
1 Rand PPC
2 Holly LRM 10s
2 Ramsey-65 Machine Guns
Manufacturer: Brigadier Corporation
Communications System: Garret 600
Targeting & Tracking System: Garret GRNDTRK 15
Overview:
Brigadier Corporation's success with the Scorpion BattleMech, the first of the four legged 'Mechs, spawned the creation of the four-legged Goliath. This 'Mech is massive, weighing in at over 80 tons. Some of the early technical difficulties of a four-legged 'Mech had already been overcome by the time the Goliath was created. Leg movement was coordinated though the neurohelmet, and the 'Mech was streamlined to allow more armor.
Dr. Harrison, the creator of the four-legged 'Mech, felt that such 'Mechs would usher in a new era of BattleMech warfare. Unfortunately, the Star League did not agree with him. Nevertheless, Brigadier Corporation managed to sell several Goliaths, most of which were stationed on the Periphery, where 'Mechs were usually tested.
The Goliath performed well, and the Star League began to take interest shortly before its fall and the start of the First Succession War. The few Goliaths that were operational quickly became the property of their pilots, and only a handful are still in service today.
Capabilities:
Unlike the earlier Scorpion, the Goliath supports a good deal of firepower and armor. Also, modifications to the cockpit added to the MechWarrior's comfort. The Goliath's weaponry systems are centered around the Rand PPC system installed on its turret-like head. The Rand system has an average performance, but works well with the Garret targeting and tracking devices.
Supporting the PPC are two torso-mounted Holly LRM racks. Coupled with the variable-height firing capability of a four-legged 'Mech, this weapons system gives it a very long range in combat. Goliaths can only store twelve rounds of ammunition for the long-range missile systems. This lack of sufficient ammunition has sometimes meant the difference between victory and defeat.
For anti-infantry support, it carries twin Ramsey machine guns in center-torso mounts. Though the Ramsey system may jam and overheat frequently, it is most impressive, especially when the guns are aimed almost straight down to attack infantry attempting to secure the 'Mech from below.
The Goliath's armor is very impressive, constructed from the best materials that Star League could offer. Supporting over 18 tons of armor, this 'Mech is not quickly or easily disarmed in combat.
Due to its precarious center of gravity, the Goliath cannot move if one of its legs is disabled. This is a fatal weakness, as leg damage is common on the battlefields of the Succession Wars. An immobilized Goliath becomes 80-plus tons of pure target.
Brigadier trained its own pilots for the Goliath program, and many of their heirs still pilot those same 'Mechs. Most consider the Goliath to be the best piece of equipment produced by the firm.
Zo ziet het beestje er uit :
De basis voor dit model wordt de Tequilagunner van Takara op 1/72ste. Origineel is dit een model uit de Dougram serie, maar werd, zoasl een aantal andere, overgenomen in het Battletech verhaal.
Deze doos is eigenlijk een F44B en ik heb eigenlijk de F44A nodig. Enige verschil tussen die twee zijn de balkons op de zijkant Snel opgelost dus.
Simpel en eenvoudig doosje dat snel zal afgewerkt worden...stay tunend
