It’s been incredibly cool to finally catch this whole cycle because of the damn milkweed the infests my front porch. Only two out of the dozen caterpillars I saw made it to butterflies, but I’m glad I got to see them off. #bugs #caterpillar #butterfly
Bane from Scouring Sands. This is the first time I've painted without using wash and I'm pretty excited about the results. Also got some great advice on NMM chrome from folks at mechpainters.org! #battletech
Very slow day, so I was able to get some building in. That Fennec’s antennas can go fox themselves though. #Battletech
Still messing with my Steiner scheme, bringing the grey-white up and making the blue richer/less turquoise. I hate that I’m going to have to finish the damn Banshee before I can tell if I like it more. 😭 #Battletech
Any folks with kids out there that can suggest a good entry-level miniatures game for an 8 and 10yo? Trying to get my niece and nephew into something simple. This is totally not so I can get one of them interested in painting mini so I can pay them to do it later…
Stopped by Iron Wind today to pick up a few things. Apparently the new Atlas will be delayed, one of the arms on the master has an under-cut that prevents it from being cast properly. They’ve sent for a replacement, but no time estimate. 😢 #Battletech
The first of my #battletech Scouring Sands force, and the reference image from the box art. I'm working on a painting video featuring this mini, I hope to have it up soon!
The first time it picked up a paint brush in months, just to redo my “white” recipe on my Lyran Guard. I tested the new on the shin and chest of the Banshee and I don’t know if it’s even that noticeable. Basically I started with the bottom right mix as the base instead of the top left. #Battletech
New previews from Gen Con. Here's the two I worked on: the one with the forward-swept wings is the Clan Chaeronea, and the other is the Steiner Seydlitz.
Whoa, when did they tease these? I found them squirreled away in the “new to the store” tab on Aries. #Battletech
Does anyone else remember these guys? I pretty sure they were in a Chapter Approved after some design contest. It’s almost impossible to find any more info on them online anymore. #Warhammer #40k
Cmon, why isn’t anyone selling the Uziel out of the new core box yet? I’m sure there have to be some people selling off the mechs they don’t want right? Right? 🥲 #Battletech

Introduce yourself with 4 mechs #Battletech -Dazzle Camo King Crab, because I hate myself. -Nikolai Malthus' Summoner, next to the circus where he belongs -Wayne Waco's Battlemaster, because the Wolf Dragoons WILL PAY for what they did on March 29, 3008 -Hunchback IIC. Punching above its weight!
Introduce yourself with 4 mechs (#Battletech edition)
$70 for the box, $85 for a one day ticket, probably $20 for parking and maybe $20 in gas (from where I live). I hate that this is actually a “deal”. 😢 #Battletech
ffffffffFFFFFFFAAAAAAAACK! The ONE Ork they could get me to buy! AND they kept most of his rules from 2nd Edition!?
Wow. The old Command & Conquer Juggernaut looks great as a Battletech mech. Don’t think you could mount three AC’s on the head though. 😂 #Battletech
Anyone got any crappy misprinted Panthers, Shermans, US or German Halftracks/Jeeps /Trucks in 28mm? I want to make some snow-covered wrecks, so if you have some bad misprints just sitting on a desk... I'd be interested in hearing! Thanks!
