Nothing finer than 6mm, and yours are exceptionally fine. Stand proud.

Wow, those look rather nice!

In fact, they remind me of the GDI tank designs from Tiberium Wars... Could/would you consider doing some Nod units too maybe?  ;)

Superb work in the perfect scale  ;) for battles (well, maybe second to 3 mm,) in SF.

Gracias,

Thanks Chaps,great to see 6mm is getting some Love on LAF  lol In Fact 6mm made a huge Step forward regarding sculpting/Casting Quality it really isn't the same Stuff as 20 Years ago (sorry Glenn  ;))

i haven't thought of doing a NOD Army yet,thx for the Idea Major Gilbear  o_o lol


have these finished a Battletech Lance,they're the Plastics from the revised Introduction Box  :)

Well, the sculpting is improved in all scales since the 1970's (started to type 1870s...) for a fact.  And not just because of scale creep...  We have some truly gifted sculptors making figures today!

Now they are lovely!!

I have a soft spot for 6mm, I have been using 6mm for ultra modern major engagements, and 20mm for skirmishes/medium sized fighting. And I have been tempted to do the same for sci fi.

Plasmablast have hinted they might do their vehicles in 15mm which would be awesome!

Very nice work on all of them. I particularly like the aulos corp colours, could you give me a hint of your painting processes and paint choices on those, I'm pretty sure you nailed a look I have been trying to get for a while now.

Actually there is something about those minies in general that clicked with me but I wasn't sure what, now I know, they look a bit ghibi like.

Nice,Chin up my Friend,it'll takes you only 2-3 Years to get them all assembled  >:D ;)

Eventually the Trick here is "Tamiya Smoke"Paint,it works like a Wash but with a much smoother Finishing (No Pooling Effect that is).
1.Primed White
2.Thin Coat of Tamiya Smoke
3.touched up the White again here and there
4.added some Chipping/Splatters with a Sponge,Jobs done  :)


have a few More Battlemechs to show,again these are the Plastic Miniatures
