Mechs, Mechs and more Mechs. We’ve had quite a bit of Battletech content lately. But with the Kickstarter out, Tex doing his thing and a couple of decent computer games it is actually a really good time to be a Battletech fan. I did the Kickstarter and ended up with around 40 Inner Sphere and Clan mechs arriving at my door a few weeks back. And I though I should paint a few of them. So I started with some of the Clan, and I desire to do something bright, crazy looking and not that common. Yeah, I should have done some Fire Mandrill shouldn’t I, but I did’t and instead I did some Clan Blood Spirit.

Clan Jade Falcon – Charlie Supernova Strider 1 and Strider 2

I really like the … Read more
Clan Jade Falcon – Bravo Trinary Beak
The Beak for my Clan Jade Falcon – Bravo Trinary, is a nasty little piece of work. The Mad Cat has 4 Streak SRM6’s two to the front and Two to the rear, as well as 2 ER PPC’s. I had to custom build parts of this mech and I think that is my fav … Read more

Battletech Clan Ghost Bear Decals
I am pretty sure that my eye sight was a lot better and my hands were a lot steadier when I painted my first batch of Battletech Clan mechs about twenty years ago. I have always enjoyed putting 3025 era Battlemechs on the table & most of my effort had gone into painting Inner Sphere, … Read more
