Most of the ‘mechs are taller, with the exception of the Phoenix Hawk, King Crab and Scorpion (my normal one has a broken base, so it’s hard to be sure)

Well my #Battletech Gothic set arrived via #zatugames today.
It’s a big boxset (about 2” thick!), with a double sized mapsheet and thicker than normal rules as well. A lot of the ‘mechs have been to the gym and buffed up as well.

Road lines where marked out with Tamiya waxed masking tape and then hand painted (it goes a bit wrong in the Jägermech where it was overlapping) the numbers are decals from #TheMightyBrush

Sterling Service had the bases done yesterday, so just need their decals (if they arrive today….) and the rims done. #Battletech

So today is the final day to get the Jade Falcons finished. They won’t be 100%done, but close enough. So yesterday I highlighted the cockpit and washed the brass bits, painted the bases a dark green, then flocked late at night. Today will be trying to seal the flock and if it dries

So the Jade Falcons had a second coat added on the white and highlighted, lasers painted, plus some bronze bits added on, washes and first stage of “blood splatter” painted on the feet. #battletech
Today will be highlights on the canopies, “blood”, bases and maybe decals if there’s time.

So today I gave the top half a coat of Citadel’s Warp Lightning contrast paint, then a dry brush of Moot Green, while I gave the legs a wash with a fresh bottle of Nuln Oil. Windows were given their first coat of Gehenna’s Gold and white bits first coat of Ulthan Grey. #Battletech

So as I have a quiet house this week, I’ve set myself a little challenge of “Can I paint these three ‘mechs in Clan Jade Falcon Omega Galaxy colours, before Friday?” as I’ll be using them then, in game 3 of a #battletech scenario I’m playing against @jodrell.org
