Now that my summer hustle is over, it's back to battletech. Here's a Canopian lance I built for my wife; two Calliope, one Ebony, and one Penthesilea.

Here are my finished quads. I really like what I was able to do with the Goliath and the kitbashed Tarantula. The smaller two will be for a Hotspots campaign, with the goal of getting enough CBills to buy the Goliath.

I really had problems with the metal Tarantula mini for Battletech. I had a brilliant idea, however. Take the head of the Tarantula and put it on a carved down body of a Scorpion ...

I just finished The Wolf and The Spider. It is such a cheesy, 80s inspired story of the early adventures of Battletech's Wolf's Dragoons. It even includes two Mech and one skirmish scenarios.

Here's some wip shots of an augmented FedCom RCT lance. I still have highlights and edge lining to go. I also need to decide on a basing scheme. #battletech

The motor pool needs to get painted. I ran out of blu tack before I ran out of tanks. #battletech

If you see this, QRS with the Battlemech you'd pilot!
There can be only one, the Highlander. Seeing in TRO 2750 with its jump jets and guass rifle... Here's mine painted in the livery of the First Canopian Cuirassiers.

Tonight's progress is adding bright gold to these mechs. I blocked it out with paint on primer grey then the gold. I've also added black for contrast. I still have to highlight, panel line, and base these quads.

Not a lot of progress today. NGL, I'm not looking forward to painting this guy. It's a very fragile sculpt.

I'm using the large scale mad cat as a support to hold the tree leg of a tarantula. I can't suggest the tarantula mini at all. It's finicky and difficult to build. #battletech

I'm spending a nice afternoon teaching my kid and her partner #battletech. Ramping up the difficulty and running a breakthrough mission. It isn't going well.🤔

My dinner last night was excellent. Several whiskey cocktails, an awesome Beef Wellington, and sharing a flourless chocolate cake and a pumpkin cheesecake.
