Post them up when you're done!

Hi, it's VallejoModel ColourEmerald 70.838.

Black added for the shading, white added in increasing amounts for the highlight progression.

I wasn't happy with it initially as it came out too blue, so I applied a filter with VMC Park Green Flat 70.969 to tweak the hue.

Dire Wolf on the hunt.

Jade Falcons, Gamma Galaxy.

It seems I forgot to upload my finished Cougar.

Another addition to my Clan Jade Falcons, Gamma Galaxy.

This isn't a new paintjob. I just updated photos on an old scenic board. The board is being retired as it's falling apart.

Clan Marauder IIc (unseen miniature).

There are, indeed 😍

I'm sick of the sight of GW products, to be honest.

Thank you.

I have decided to revisit the Jade Falcons after a break of about 10 years.

Playing with a new camo scheme for the JF Gamma Galaxy 'Ebon Jaguar' (Cauldron Born).

I'm slowly expanding my Gray Death Legion.

Delmar Clay had been added to the command lance in his WVR-6R Wolverine.

I'll be painting Lori Kalmar's Shadowhawk at some point soon(ish).

I'm shattered but happy.

I now hold 1st Dan black belts in both TKD and Kickboxing.

Not bad for an old man.

My vintage Battledroid Warhammer is done. A fairly old school style of painting, which I felt was appropriate.

Natasha Kerensky, the Black Widow, is ready to stalk her prey in her WHM-6R, Black Lady.

Either www.ralparthaeurope.co.uk/shop/battlet... in order to support a U.K. small busines, or www.fantasywelt.de/Battletech-M... for minis Ral Partha don't stock.

I am readying my next project. A recent online score, a Battledroids era, Warhammer.

Such a vintage miniature deserves an appropriately retro paint scheme!

As kids, we would wrap a roll around a 2p coin and then wrap it tightly in sellotape. Throw it at a wall and duck! Sounded epic, smelled fantastic, and hurt like hell if the coin hit you!

Thank you.

You are most kind.

I had the idea of fitting a cockpit into a 'mech. I read that the Red Corsair's Battlemaster had a twin seat affair with a command console, so I got a 3rd edition plastic mini and started hacking!

Some more buildings from @the_lazy_forger. Welcome to the Crossroads Motel.

Don't lean on the walls they wobble... If you get the reference, you're probably British and old, too!

Rifleman for scale.

There were two more corridor pieces in the bottom of the box that I missed until doing the last 'before you bin the box' packaging check!

One has a doorway.

Classic 'old school' cast resin 6mm scale buildings from the Master @oldcrowmodels.

Linked to Instagram due to file size.

Some smaller buildings of the 'Asian city' set from The Lazy Forger as a residential suburb.

With the medium tower block from the same range.

Now I need to decide on some paint schemes. It's only right that I use an appropriately vintage guide!

These stripped nicely.

Under heavy enamel paint, the detail was protected beautifully 😍
