Archer printed off. Going to use this as an Archer C with my Genyosha.

A 3-d printed miniature of a Dire Wolf OmniMech from Battletech, printed with metallic purple filament

Got a dire wolf printed. Will paint this as Hohiro Kurita’s, but might do a little conversion work first to add the pulse lasers, gauss rifle, and PPC

Canonically, Franklin Sakamoto eventually joined the #Otomo, and even though he only drove a Hatamoto Chi for, like, 30 seconds in the cartoon, I decided that's what he would have stuck with.

When you have a K variant, it must have a Dragon on it.

...and maybe a teeny tiny samurai.

As a Pitt graduate, I should always share Panthers when able to.

What's this? Are there KOI in that pond?

Yes.

I love me some Locust - especially one with the ENE trait.

Back to that #Otomo nonsense with the Avatar. (I wonder how many of these will be painted blue...might need to get another one for my #Lyran guard...

This is one of the #ironwindminis Shiro sculpts, the -2P variant. I really like this one, both stats and sculpt. Then, a group photo of my new band, The Three Shiros.

Did I not post the #GhostRegiment Shiro the other day? It's not a terrible model, but it somehow seems "chubby" compared to the metal ones, which were already solid sculpts. (Still a fan, but though.)

This model has two versions of the sword arm - regular and reversed. I chose reverse like - as was discussed on a different person's post - a boss.

This one was is basically the same, but a slightly different variant with a better sculpt.

This one was a PIMA. It didnt assemble well and I feel that it was structurally poorly designed, but eff it - it's done and table ready.
Canonically, this variant was used in the #GhostRegiment .

Continuing #GhostRegiment mechs with one of the new #Kurita pack figures. I love the Akuma - and no one will convince me they didn't intentionally make that chest divot the exact right size for a FPG decal.

Haven't done any #GhostRegiment mechs in a while, but with the new #Kurita packs hitting my desk, I've been getting back into them.
This Whitworth, I filled in a couple of missile tubes to make it the K variant

When doing up some new #jagermech units, I really wanted one thematically paired with its predecessor, the #Rifleman. Since I already had and action-posed #kurita one, I went with that.

I don't normally gloss coat anything, but this one looked SO good that way...but it also made it difficult to photograph. I really feel it looks amazing in person and loses a lot here. Definitely one of my favorite models recently

Speaking of #Kurita lists, here's another #forthedragon!
I've recently been on a kick of classic Ral Partha models, and this one was a happy find: a #Dragon with the molded scales. (Alt text for notes on painting/pics.)

I've had one on the shelf forever on the North wind Highlanders box...but had no gumption to try tartan yet. Since that box was on sale at my FLGS, I figured, "Why not just get another?" Comment "Meatloaf" if you actually read this. 😆

This week's @mechfrog.bsky.social video called for Gunslingers and I didn't have one painted. See alt text, but long story short, @fabricatorsforge.bsky.social had them on sale, and I decided to stat my #Otomo unit.

One of my favorite recent mechs. It's been sitting on my desk forever (with a different variant that's still waiting) and like the Wendigo, I wanted it painted before the CGL version comes out.

Let's try today without the double post somehow.

This is the Avalanche, which definitely came from the same design mind as yesterday's Wendigo.

It was important to me that I got this one painted before the CGL version came out...

(It'd been sitting on the shelf for a while.)

I had some fun doing mental gymnastics to validate a Griffin IIC being part of my #GhostRegiment force.
Today, a Blood Asp for no other reason than because I thought it would look sharp in that scheme.
