Battle Tech anyone?

[beefcake]

Bugger! Not to worry though, the warping is probably due to inferno fire. A bit of battle damage never hurt anyone

So, one of my other favourite designs, was the Rifleman. Again, this is the more modern, computer game version of the design.

I've tried doing a desert, digital camo over it. And a had some cheeky spare Desert Rat decals I've used on him.







The back is a bit messed up. The supports from the 3d print seem to have taken some of the detail out. I've tried to hide it with paint as best as I can!



And this is the rest of the mechs I'm planning on using in our games. Colin still has the Warhammer that we'll add to this....



Ps. The Hunchback(the one with the mahoosive big shoulder laser) was torture to build! I scaled down some 28mm scale mechs to 15mm. Theres small parts that join various things together and let yiu articulate the model, in 15mm these parts were too small!!

Very cool. I think the rifleman is my favourite as well.

[Andym]

Cheers fellas!

Nothing finished thats new here (the Commando is WIP), just some extra pics of the Urbie Urbanmech with urban digital camo. Not in an urban setting!

I may print another one to paint and reduce the layer height, theres some line on it that I didn't think I could take off without damaging the model!









I never used to like the Urbanmech design, but it really has grown on me. Its just soo different. Its like the Nissan Datsun of the mech world...the crappy underdog that people like!

This next guy is WIP. Its a Commando. I tried to do Commando colours on him. I may revisit the front torso section with filler. I thought I coukd get away with not doing anything there, but the gap is bothering me more and more!!

Who likes a Datsun

Wow,smashing work! Such good painting,I’ll end up Googling the models...

Great stuff mate 

Strange question, are you painting in a car?

[Andym]

Thanks for the encouragement chaps!

Great stuff mate 

Strange question, are you painting in a car?

No!.....it’s the start of some Battletech themed terrain! The fact that it looks like the inside of a Vivaro Van, means nothing!

In all honesty mate, I struggle for hobby time for a long time now and putting a painting kit in van means I can get some new toys to play with!

[OSHIROmodels]

 

That’s brilliant and yet so annoying that you can still paint top quality whilst white van manning 

[gamer Mac]

What's annoying is that he does it while driving

Andym,

The desert digital came.
That layered up?
Stencil?
Airbrush?
Crazy motivation?

Would love to know the process.

No airbrush or stencils required! Just slightly more thinned paint than usual so it runs easier and a use of the natural edges of the model to finish off certain sides of the pattern. The pattern itself is partially hidden by washes and glazing to deepen the shadows. It helps so that you don't really notice how bad the pattern is! 

Next up is a Commando. I've tried to do it in British Commando uniform colours.







I'm also about halfway through doing an Atlas. Clan Maclachlan tartan colours of course!

[gamer Mac]

Looking great

[Ray Rivers]

Love the commando!
