Painted this 100mm Mad Cat I bought years ago as Aidan Pryde's Death Trap. It fits perfectly in a baseball display case! I gave it to my bro as a gift. #battletech #ironwindmetals

What do you mean by mount? The plastic BattleTech minis come attached to the base so I just leave them like that as I paint. I've gotten used to painting and detailing the base last. The base is great for testing paints before you hit the model. I also use magnets under all my bases for storage.

Happy Thanksgiving! My kids just painted these up using a sponge technique I saw on youtube by @ThePaintedTopher They look awesome and we barely spent any time on them. I will add details later but my kids were stoked on how they turned out. #battletech #paintingminiatures

These are epic, where did the infantry and vehicles come from?

Here is an easy guide from camo specs which is basically what I use for the base. www.youtube.com/watch?v=OW1t... Another good Comstar guide from armed painter. www.youtube.com/watch?v=2jQh...
