A UM-R60 and UM-R60L Urbanmech pair belonging to House Arano of the Aurigan Coalition's 3rd Company. The parade colors are marred by battle on the grasslands of Katinka. 3031.

Still making my way through the Arano set, halfway there!

I finished a big commission today! The customer is thrilled and I can't wait to get these in his hands.
A collection of nine BattleTech miniatures, all in olive green with orange accents. There's a swarm of small, fast-looking machines, a pair of larger support weapon platforms, and a very large, hulking humanoid 'Mech with a white head and arm. Down the largest machine's arm are falling cherry petals.

Clan Steel Viper dared as the question "Can a 'mech undergo Twink Death?" and the answer is apparently "yes."

It is often forgotten that I paint #miniatures. Because most of the time when I am done with a batch of them, they immediately go into storage and off the desk.

I read Outfoxed, the latest from @swankmotron.com and Fox Patrol's first standalone novel. It's good, wholesome BattleTech for these trying times. My review on Sarna (slight spoilers if you haven't read it yet!).

Hey Battletech fans, painted this little(?) Mech in honor of a friend of mine. When we played Mechwarrior together she was rather enamored with the King Crab, so here she is ready to deploy with my Magistracy of Canopus Mechs.
Front view of the Battletech King Crab mech, its painted in the Trans Pride flag colours, with minor chipping and dust. It markings show it to be the third Mech of its lance, and its showing Magistracy of Canopus markings.

When I first met Versus I learned very quickly how amazing a modeler and painter they are; then they did *this* jaw-dropping monstrosity of a diorama and my head exploded forever. Absolutely incredible artistry and a beautiful homage to one of the best pieces of old school #BattleTech art!

Of course the rest of the Star League force (and one replacement) will be going towards the Red Hunters, who do you think you're talking to?

Of them all, the Malice is my personal favorite sculpt. I'd be amazed if nobody's converted one into a REX yet. #battletech

I'm partial to the #Battletech tables I worked on. Both the original system and the updated one with larger hexes and more detail. I have conceptualized a third iteration for a, much more complete terrain system for multi-level cities. If only I had spare time I could devote to developing it...
My old table, where we played a Tukayyid game, Jade Falcons against ComStar My old table, where we played a Tukayyid game, Jade Falcons against ComStar This setup was my update to that concept, with larger hexes and much more detailed. I need to find time to take updated pics with the latest thing I painted. Among them, a ferris wheel, a large HPG, and an anti orbital defense gun.
