Like quite a few here it seems I've had an on and off relationship with Battlech. I first got into contact with the universe by reading all the novels that were available in the 90ies. In the 2000s Battletech became the first tabletop I played until worklife interfered. I still have a sizeable metal collection from back then, quite a bit of them in variable stages of being stripped. However when i came back i was quite happy to see the new plastics. Now there are drawbacks to it as well but I really like the way the scaling works nowadays and generally the quality seems to be a bit more consistent and better than the metals.
First picture shows a really old resin hangar from like 2000 or so, no idea who manufactured it. Comes with a detachable gate. I've so far painted my units as Lindons and Comstar (with slight artistic license of adding a bit of gold akzents). Next on the table are some clan mechs and I'm still waiting for my Mercs Kickstarter.
