Here's a WIP of my #Battletech Clan Sea Fox Binary I'm currently working on. It's a three-tone blue scheme, although I need to highlight the medium blue since it's too dark next to the dark Prussian Blue. I MIGHT try some of the water dappled effects common on Sea Fox schemes. Maybe... Update soon.

5 mechs from the Command Star. A Rifleman C, Ebon Jaguar, Warhammer IIC, Timber Wolf, and Stinger IIC. All in the dirty light blue, medium blue, and dark blue pattern of my custom color scheme. Unfinished with no highlights or accent colors added yet. Filthy looking from the first weathering wash of mud and oil colors.

5 mechs from the Assault Star of my Sea Fox Binary: a Marauder IIC, a Highlander IIC, Stone Rhino, Super Nova, and Hunchback IIC. Also in the unfinished triple-blue color scheme.

A full unit photo of the 10 Sea Fox mechs.

A slightly different angle photo in Chester resolution of the full Binary of mechs.

My current Mekton Zeta RPG campaign is coming to an end this fall; so I've been prepping for next year's campaign. This series was "The Expanse meets Macross" inspired; the next series is "Mecha Mass Effect" inspired! For PC Mecha, I got a set of printed minis from old Japanese Battletech designs!

Original color artwork from the early 90s Japanese edition of Battletech. The Mecha shown is a Phoenix Hawk covered in fins, in white with blue trim.

Four of the Heavy mech minis from the Japanese edition of Battletech set. From left to right are the Crusader, Archer, Marauder, and Zeus. Unpainted in grey resin on round wooden bases.

The 4 lighter Japanese mech designs. Left to right: Valkyrie, Phoenix Hawk, Shadowhawk, and a second Phoenix Hawk.

How do you know when you're having a real crisis? I've been severely ill for more than 10 days now, and I'm not sure if it's real or just my mind. I can't eat. Food actually smells terrible! All I do is sleep and wake up exhausted and spiral mentally until I sleep again. Plus nausea. Just for fun!

The second #Orks vehicle I'm adding the finishing touches to today! My "Grabby-Hands" Gunwagon! A 3d print based on classic Epic Ork Guttrippa minis from the 90s! I've added the rust wash to the seams and the lower hull, last thing is to scar up the fuel drums I added and dirty up the whole thing!

Front view of my fdm printed "Guttrippa" battlewagon. Painted in rae steel with yellow and red trim. With its pointed turret house and long lanky grabby-arms on the front to hold enemy vehicles still while unloads it's cannon into them!!

Rear view of my Guttrippa showing the exhaust pipe extensions and external fuel drums I added to the model. And showing off the door on the back of the tank turret painted red with "KEEP OWT" written in white on it!

Side view of the Guttrippa showing the riveted red "teef" glyphs added to the side armor and the stowage boxes added to the side skirts.

I'm finally finishing my modular #Orks printed Gunwagon after forgetting it existed in a box for 4 months... The paint work is 90% done. Some weathering and rust effect is all that's left. Also thinking of building a removable canvas bed cover to run it as a plain Truck model too. Gun crew is next!

A 3/4th view of my fdm printed Ork Flakwagon. Painted red with yellow trim and wide black tracks. It's got 2 big machine guns bolted to the left side of the cab and big quad barreled anti-aircraft gun in the truck bed.

A 3/4 front view of my Gunwagon with a big heavy mortar installed in the truck bed in place of the anti-aircraft gun.

The same Gunwagon with the heavy mortar replaced by a large caliber anti-tank gun. Open backed exposed breach with a big square armor shield on the front painted yellow with red teeth marks.

The final version of my Gunwagon: the Battlewagon version! With an armored troop transport box in the truck bed with a medium size looted Predator tank turret on top; ready to lay down suppression fire while my Boyz pile out the back!

Decided to play around with an unused mini to make a fun kitbashed conversion. So I made a special variant of the Bounty Hunter Marauder II. It's got 3 x Clan UAC/10s w/60 rounds, 2 Clan ER Medium Lasers, and a Targeting Computer! 😁 It's a loud monster! I love it! Totally impractical. #battletech

A grey unpainted plastic CGL Marauder II mini showing the PPC guns on the arms swapped out with heavy cannon barrels. Plus a bit of supplemental armor plate to cover the guns mechanism. A small sensor dome has also been added to the roof to represent the Targeting Computer.

Getting the fleets ready for a map-based campaign using One Page Rules "Warfleets" ruleset. #OPR has a very fun simple set of rules for starship combat, with wonderful ship construction rules that only take minutes to outfit a ship class! Once done I'll have 8 small fleets for the game! 😁

A small fleet of kitbashed miniature starships from Quantum Expanse: a Battleship, a Carrier, 3 Cruisers, and 4 Destroyers and Frigates. Base colored drab green waiting to be painted.

A small fleet of older ship miniatures made by Ground Zero Games for their Full Thrust rules. Inspired by the Earth warships from the 5th Element film. Painted in "navy hull grey". 1 Dreadnought! 1 Battleship, 1 Carrier, 6 Cruisers, and 6 Destroyers and Frigates.

A small fleet of Auran Dominate starship miniatures from Studio Bergstrom. Painted jade and metallic green with red trim. Very alien looking! It includes a giant crescent-shaped Dreadnought! 1 Battle Cruiser, 2 Cruisers, and 4 Destroyers.

A small fleet of Romukan starships from the Star Trek Attack Wing game by Wizkids. Rebased and touch-up painted for Warfleets. 1 Mogai Advanced warbird, 2 D'Deridex Heavy Warbirds, 2 smaller Warbirds, and 2 Light Scout Raptors. Pictured with a selection of asteroids made from lava rocks!

Finished up a couple of #Battletech projects today. A company of rusty periphery Mercs called the "Adelaide Rangers" from Charleston; and a small group of anti-Kurita renegade Samurai raiders, so far unnamed. ...and yes, I already know my Rangers accidentally look like Ninja Turtles... 🤦

A company of 12 mechs painted in army green and brown, with rust and exposed metal paint scratches and dark red cockpit glass. The bases are flocked in yellow-green foliage and rimmed in dark green with a yellow triangle denoting the front facing.

A Star of 5 mechs painted in light blue-grey with dark blue trim, deep golden cockpit facing, and red trimmed weapons ports. The machines have a techno-samurai look to their styling with layers armor plates, back banners, and decorative face masks. One mech carries a large bladed weapon and another carries a heavy spiked mace. The bases are painted dusty earthen brown.

While searching online for any cool new starship miniature games available, I discovered the new edition of FASA's Leviathan. I ordered the core set and one of the larger individual ships to check out. The models are cool. Very big! But cool! But so far it's got nothing to do with the old game...

The cover art of the Leviathan Academy Set starter box. Showing a squadron of long sleek blue and white spaceships firing massed beam weapons at an unseen enemy...

A photo showing a size comparison of the Leviathan models next to a few ship models from other games: cruisers from Dropfleet Commander and Battlefleet Gothic. The Leviathan models are much larger! In orange plastic. The largest ship, a Carrier, is almost 6 inches long!

My deodorant tank project is coming along! This morning I finished up the build details and I can start painting later! 😊 I wish I had more detail gubbins but I think it looks cool. It's supposed to be a civilian sport gravcar modified for war. I plan to use it in gang fighting skirmish games.

A 3/4 front view of a scratch built antigravity attack speeder made from a deodorant tube. With a lot of different toys pieces and model parts added it looks like a powerful high performance "muscle car" hovering above the ground and covered in bolted on machines, armor plates, and weapons.

A full frontal view of the grave car showcasing the square grill, headlight clusters, and the ram-style front bumper with three large spikes!

A 3/4 rear view of the gravcar showing the intricate propulsion machinery. Sharp fins, heavy thruster boxes and the big round housing for the primary antigravity generator.

Since I finished my Terran Mercs for #CAVSO I painted up the first test mini for my 4th unit: it's an Enforcer CAV in my version of the Steel Dragons pirate/Merc force colors of dark green with silver trim. I'm not going to try to do the green on green camo from the pictures, though. No thanks! 😬

A big green mech/robot miniature from a game called CAV: Strike Operations. It's called an Enforcer. Painted in dark jade green with silver trim and dark red cockpit canopy glass.

The 8th and final mech for my Terran Mercs force in #CAVSO arrived and I got him built and painted up today! A Voodoo! It's a big machine but an older design sporting paired Heavy Autocannons and Medium Particle Bolt Guns, along with chin mounted machine guns for anti-infantry work. Tough but slow.

I had a fun evening of watching Band of Brothers and building and base-coating the 3 IVF turrets that will turn my Wolverine tanks into "Badger" APC transports for my #opr Space British HDF army! 1 Heavy MG (Hvy Bolter), 1 Laser MG (Multi-Las), and 1 Crocodile (Hvy Flamer) w/HK Missile launcher. 😊

Three transport tank models in desert khaki, showing the three small turrets I made. Heavy Machine Gun in the middle flanked by the Laser MG on the right and the Hvy Flamer on the left.

Same as the previous picture but the turrets face right to show off the detail on that dude, including a set of smoke grenade launchers on 2 of the turrets.
