What if tiltjet Y-wing... heheh
A 3D viewport screenshot showing an untextured Y-wing model from Star Wars, but with the engines rotated 90° so that they are facing the ground. As a result of their length, the body of the Y-wing has been raised high in the air, so the forward landing gear has to telescope out to a comical length.

When you become middle-aged, you have to get into smoking meats, World War 2 history, or painting tiny giant robots for a game you'll never play. Anyway, I really like how the red on the underbarrel gives the illusion that this Rifleman has a pair of pump-action shotguns. #battletech
A basic Rifleman 'mech painted in red representing House Kurita. The underbarrel of the second gun on each arm is painted to look like a pump shotgun.

Do I paint the in-progress thing that I should be finishing, or start on the two other things I would desperately prefer to be painting instead.

Ok #battletech #minipainting sphere. Whats the difference between a "highlight" and an "accent"? Looking at examples of minis on camospecs or unit color compendium seem to just leave it up to artist caveat. If there an official ruling on the difference somewhere? Or whats your general rule of thumb?
