Thanks chaps! It's a very very simple paint scheme, but like I wrote, tedious as hell! 

Since there was not as much red on this version of the BWC, I thought to keep the cockpits red so to help pick out the decals.  I played around with putting a green or blue glow in the weapon barrels, but not sure how to go about this....

I have the Fire Lance all ready to go, but I want to paint up a Command Lance of Steiner Royal Guards for ready opponents.  I'm thinking an Atlas, Zeus, Banshee and Griffin combo.

So, the beginning of my Fire Lance.  I had trouble sleeping last night....

What do you guys think?

[Vanvlak]

Only just discovered the thread - very nice, especially the worn look and the cockpits 

[Too Bo Coo]

Thanks mate!

[Elbows]

Love Archers...yessir!

[Vinlander]

As a somewhat regular Battletech/Alpha Strike player this project is giving me such a nostalgia buzz its great!

Love your work mate. Please don't stop now 

Any chance we might see a batrep in future???

Thanks guys!  This was my last mock up pic, I already cut off the missiles, trimmed them repositioned them so they sit more in the center.  I'm quite pleased with how it all turned out

Nice work!

[Too Bo Coo]

Ok, restarted this project as well! First Archer of the Fire Lance, WIP

And a little closer to finished!

You give those awful soft plastic mechs more love than they deserve.

No soft plastic here!  I dont have that kind of patience!    These are all c1985 leads

I was goofing around with one of the hard plastics they they released before this latest batch, and they are just as awful as the softies...  I ended up chucking it.

I don't think the current plastics are too bad.  They're still crap sculpts...and still plastic board game pieces.  But the new re-done batch for the current boxed set is very reasonable for what you get in the starter game.

I have three boxes sitting somewhere.  I haven't tried the new lance packs though --- not sure what their quality is like.

I agree totally!  The ones I mean are from the set that they released in 2010 or so, then people complained and TOPPS made the ones we have today.  Sadly, most of the BWC are Unseen, so I had to pay a bit for the older models.
