Bit off a bit much for paint night, so ended up mostly prep and prime, but did get the demon done:


And was silly and bought another box of tanks for BT, guess the break on lyrans was a bit short:

That demon looks great- terrific color scheme, well executed! Rock on!

Ishtar tanks from battletech (as interpreted by a third party stl artist trying to put their own spin on), or possibly particularly militant office chairs. A lot of the initial set of clan tanks were kinda goofy looking guys.

I do love your Battletech stuff, Vejut. My first exposure was the book Way of the Clans and I loved all the schematics at the back of that book. Those Ishtar do indeed look like irate office furniture but all these vehicles are coming out lovely.

Nice save on your disintegrated fox, and those Typhon Spears have come out great!

Thanks Ragsta, not going to pretend the cool robot pictures on the back of the books aren't a big part of why I picked them up to start...

Next load of lyrans started:


And block colors on the axolotl:


And decent progress on the grab bag:

Slow week, mostly, real life in the way.

Based up the bat-gnome but forgot to take pictures. Did paint through a novelty mech though:





Somebody on tumblr did a dire wolf version, somebody else commented a stalker version would be cool, and so... That said, happier with the base than the mech itself-the mech is kinda rough on zoom in, but pretty happy with the Porble style water base, glazing fought me a but I think.came out.

Otherwise, started a test mech to remind myself how I did the ostsol scheme, in prep for the illician lancers egg brigade:


And the egg brigade itself:


And some minor steiner progress:


Hopefully get a little more variety and time this week.

Did get some stuff done this week:


Egg gang finished, with some names even this time (with their older buddy, and a fill in friend)

Started some more to make a company:


Missing a spider for what I want, will probably pick up tonight. Also started some more tanks as you can see to have some Iota galaxy for clan hell's horses, because why stop when I've already got 4 projects.

And some progress on the steiners, getting them over the long part.


Just needs tracks, cockpits/barrels and other details, plus an edge highlight. Hopefully tonight.

Purple boys finished:


Also found out about a group called the mech painters union, who were doing a flash paint of various less well known units, so started some of them:


Went fairly quick on a 1st Bolan Guards warhammer:



And then three more: Nuevo Castile, 2nd canopian lancers, and 22nd robinson rangers:



Not sure if we're getting the rest done at paint night, we'll see what happens.

Started another couple maroon marik mechs (a neanderthal and a nobori nin):

Not sure whats for this week.

Apparently this week was mostly the centaur, who's looking okay-ish:



And a few mechs. Got the timber wolf done:


And a group shot, before the bushwacker and hellion go feed the intro grinder:


Plus a couple more purple camo bots:



Gonna try to finish the centaur, then dunno whats next, probably more 6mm of some kind.

Thanks blockade, actually kinda easy. Did the base color, then rough marked out the flames with a pull stroke on a #1 brush and dark red:


Then used bold pyrole red with that as a guide to be pointyer:


And finally yellow inside that, more or less:


Kinda three tries to get it right.

And the finished hovercraft:



Also did a pride flag Hammerhead painted in a blahåj pattern:



And finished some lyrans:



Got thrown off by the upload fault and missed this past week upload wise, also got some protomechs to post, but that'll be with the paint night stuff tonight or tomorrow.

Have any star league era mechs? Those would fit for archives.

Or a mouse wizard or something.

Tons of progress on your models. Great job!
