jbressel starts us off with this curiously-blue, superhero landed Spider! When a quick, light 'Mech can skirmish around the table for you, what's not to love? Cruball named five of their favorite 'Mechs, but this image shows four of them in all of their pewter glory! Well... minus their namesake in the Crusader... ZeeWulf has a few favorites, but we chose to show off their #1, the Tarantula! That is a splayed out 'Mech if we ever saw one! Luciora has more than five shown favorites, but we fell in love with this fun, kitbashed Shadow Hawk! It almost reminds us of Gundam HeavyArms!

KnighthawkS86 starts us off with canopy jeweling on this classic, desert camo BattleMaster! They did a great job, especially with the daunting project that is that canopy! cilice seemed to have repaired this UrbanMech with some beautifully-done Kintsugi! How did this little guy get broken in the first place? Probably a UAC20 to the CT... ZeeWulf made an attempt at a Borderlands-style cel shaded Flea! While they weren't sure about it, we think it is cute! Try again in the future, you did great! UileAthair took one of this curator's favorite 'Mechs, the Flashman, and attempted to base it for the first time! That is a really good first pass and you should be proud!

Luciora starts us off with a mono-eyed call to the Gundam SEED series with a lance of Kuritan "Zakus"! I imagine that there is at least one MechWarrior out there that would listen to Lacus in the cockpit! Ginoxy #1140 finished his SECOND set of 'Mechs from the Scouring Sands box! This time he wanted to match the cover art, and did a fantastic job! Aidan885 admitted that they don't have much time to paint miniatures, but that didn't stop them from painting up their C-Scale Timber Wolf in beautiful Wolf Beta Galaxy colors! borbprime paired the art of flourescent paints with a blacklight to paint some wicked energy muzzle flash and glowy cockpits! Next up, you are doing a wireframe paintjob, right?!
