More Battletech mechs

 This is the last chunk of mechs I have done for Gian, some of them are refurbishments, others were painted from scratch.

I'm done with this project for now, but more Battletech minis will come for sure.

Two Ghosts, a Buccaneer and a Gurkha of the Opacus Venatori of the Word of Blake. 1/285, Iron Wind Metals and Ral Partha, full highlights.

Some more Battletech Mechs

 This is the second batch of Mechs I completed for Gian, a few more are almost done, I guess we'll have another Battletech post next week.

These are a mix of old Ral Partha/Iron Wind Metals and more recent Catalyst ones.

Back to Battletech

It looks like I'm back to painting Battletech. My friend Gian has asked me to paint a bunch of mechs for a tournament he'll be attending in January, plus a bunch more random ones.

I'm taking my time with this lot, I completed the ones he needed more urgently and the rest will come in due time.

For now I finished 7 clan mechs for him, one in a non descript grey livery, the rest in Clan Ghost Bear colours.

Birthday present

 This time I have a trio of Warzone second edition figures I painted for my friend Felè's birthday.

I might have spoken of this in the past, but I like to paint minis from friend's stash as a birthday present, it is better than buying them figures, because it is a dent in the pile that any wargamer would definitely appreciate.

For Felè, my old times Warzone buddy it had to be some Bauhaus miniatures, he has mostly played this faction in our Warzone career.

In the specific, they are some second edition Bauhaus Vulkan Battlesuits, really nice figures, a little bit of a paint to assemble, especially the grenade cage on the top, which, after many very frustrating attempts, I decided to replace with one of my making. My version looks more rugged, but it suits the WWI style of these guys.

RPG character

 I'm not doing commission painting anymore (mostly), except for a few things here and there for friends.

This is the figure that one of my player's use as his D&D character. Its left arm had fallen off, so I took it in for repairs and while I was at it, gave it a few touch ups and highlights.

Here we are again

 The move to Italy is (mostly) done and, even if I was not planning to paint any more figures for others, I failed and the first model I painted at all was for someone else.

My old time friend Gian (AKA Lord Gian), needed a model for a demo game at a convention, his regular painter is momentarily unavailable, so it was on me to paint it.

Considering most of my modelling supplies are still en route from Canada, I had to do with what I had available, so the result is not that great, but it worked well for the game (last weekend), so I consider it a success.

This is one of the original C.A.V. range from Reaper (I think) that Lord Gian used for Battletech as a super heavy 200 tons monster.

The torso is a solid chunk of resin and the limbs and weapons are metal.

I opted for a very basic military green scheme with a couple of decals to make it a little less boring.

The last miniatures for Dave

These are the last models I had to paint for Dave, a little bit of a mix of stuff, but I'll make a single post with everything together.

First we have a selection of Silver Bayonet figures. I told Dave long ago that I would never paint Napoleonics, but I guess these don't really count, so I agreed to paint a couple of bands and few monsters for him.

He wanted these to be nice, so I went with full highlights on them.

Serpopard. 28mm, North Star, full highlights

Werejackals. 28mm, North Star, full highlights

Next up we have the Warlord Games special figure for their Hail Caesar Samurai new(ish) book.

And lastly, I painted a few Warhammer Man'o'War Dark Elf ships for him as a goodbye present.
