Version 2. Very happy with how this came out. The laurels are more I Corps, so I might do another version replacing the X at some point.

#Battletech #Patches
A custom made machine embroidered patch, approximately 4 inches (~98mm) round, that is white, black, yellow, orange, and red. The outer lining is white, the background is black, white text is around the outside saying "OPERATION PERSUASIVE FORCE 2757", there are yellow laurels separating the text from the inner section, an orange representation of the Terran Hegemony with 3 red arrows pointing into it in the inner section, and a white X for X Corps.

Today's prototype is a byproduct of doing reading and putting off actual writing. For the hardworking I Corps of the SLDF. It's basic, and I have a more fun version I'll make tomorrow with design improvements on the laurels. Also switch to X Corps, since the "I" has 40k vibes.

#Battletech #Patches
A black, white, and gold custom made machine embroidered patch for the fictional Battletech Operation Persuasive Force in 2757. In the center of the patch is a white I for "I Corps" who participated in the drills. Surrounding the I are gold and yellow laurels. Around the outside of the patch in white letters it says "OPERATION PERSUASIVE FORCE 2757".

"Little Godzilla" digivolved into Godzilla Jr (yesterday), who has today taken revenge on Destroyah, conquering rank 7 and unlocking the device for more digivolutions for future monsters. Big day.

Things have diverged. Technically they could re-converge if we get to the next digivolution. I stopped tracking the battle series because I may need to battle a lot to get certain evolutions...

Day 2. Going for slight extremes for the first round. Agumon defeated Baby Godzilla in their first battle.

The devices are on a dark dark grey fabric surface (couch arm). Image is edited to emphasize contrast and show the glow of the screens.

Something ordered in the before times I didn't know if they'd actually show up. Been a while. One of my original gen 1's for comparison.

I'd make my pitch for Akita here, but in truth I think it worked for me because I knew someone living there, and it reminded me of the rural city area I grew up in. In any case, I have fond memories of the place and people, and still slip in Akita-ben phrases to scare Japanese people.

Photo from the Akita Kanto festival of a man balancing a bamboo pole on his head, with many lanterns hanging from the bamboo pole. Photo of two Namahage from the Iga Namahage museum, one with a red mask, and the other blue. The blue Namahage carries a (fake) knife and bucket for collecting the entrails of bad children. The red Namahage holds a staff. Photo from the Takeuchi festival, where two sides of a town beat each other with long bamboo poles, with a bonfire between the sides.

Ok, now the Task Force Mercenaries are "Complete™", with the addition of the Pink Archer. Happy to solve thise Level II problems.

Realized there were no LRMs on the team and I had a spare Archer, so pink just made sense. Looks kinda orange in darker light which is cool.

Eiffel 65 were ahead of their time, and I think a lot of you slept on Europop. This was technically my first "techno" album around 2000, and there's some interesting songs in there. For as much shit as my friend and I gave it, hearing "Living In A Bubble" as a 15 year old was probably good for me.

With the problems of the ilClan era, you need mercenaries who provide flexible solutions. Task Force Mercenaries are your answer. Simple problems? Hire Task Force 4. Clan sized problems? Hire Task Force 5. And prepare for justice.

#Battletech
4 Battletech miniatures painted in Super Sentai like colors, with a yellow Spectre, blue Gunslinger, red Thunder Hawk, and white Marauder II. The color scheme combines the primary color, with silver, black, and gold accents. 5 Battletech miniatures painted in Super Sentai like colors, with a yellow Spectre, blue Gunslinger, red Thunder Hawk, and white Marauder II, and in the center is an Annihilator in Green, silver, black, and gold with a solver mechanical tail like the Dragonzord.

Today's WIPS, doing up some 328th Assault Cluster mechs. I've never done decals before, but I might try them for these, because I can't free-hand a Clan Wolf logo.

Faster than the average Annihilator. More a light/medium hunter. I wish there was a figure for the MW5:Mercs ANH-IR so I could build one with missiles.

When I see the Annihilator, I always think of the Dragonzord, so I finally put them together.

Front photo of a modified Battletech Annihilator miniature, painted and modeled up to look like the Dragonzord from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers/Kyōryū Sentai Zyuranger, with a silver torso and legs, with gold, green, and red accents. The front face of the hexagonal mini base is painted green and gold. There is a tail added to the back which is partially visible.
