Three partially painted UrbanMech minis, with more unpainted ones behind the. The left one is painted in the Lesbian flag colors, the middle in Gay flag colors, and the right in the colors of the Bisexual flag
It's a little late for the @catalystgamelabs.bsky.social #PrideMechParade, and they still need a wash, but progress continues on the Urbie Company!

THE KING'S CHARIOT!
Yep, I actually did a mech for myself this year for #PrideMechParade. What's more ostentatious and loud than a Phoenix Hawk IIC? A Phoenix Hawk IIC with a flame job! This was difficult to photograph because it didn't even fit in the mech bay. Or the base. Or anything.

I'm a little late for the tail end of #PrideMechParade but it's also tank o'clock! :D
This trans pride Bulldog speedpaint is in honor of all the trans puppy fluffs in the last few years! :D

Fourteen BattleTech minis, painted in various pride flag color schemes, posed on a hex map, on and around some papercraft buildings.
One month. Fourteen 'Mechs (plus a comparatively heterosexual Pillager, not pictured). So many rainbows.
The #PrideMechParade has been such a fun project to contribute to. Kudos to @versusrev.bsky.social for starting it – and thank you @catalystgamelabs.bsky.social for supporting your queer fans!

This lesbian Axman is not only in the Emily Gwen lesbian flag colors, but the axe is in the purple-and-black of the original Labrys flag.

Speaking of butches – and like my dear @wordsnwhiskey.bsky.social – I did the new Butch flag from the Butch Empowerment Project at butchboudoir.com for this Kodiak. I might have to get some Green Stuff and a paperclip to make it a little carabiner, come to think of it!

A more clever me would've used this Stone Rhino for the butch flag, because then it would be a Stone Butch, but instead I went for the Progress Pride flag – making this (I think) the #PrideMechParade entry I put the largest total number of colors on!

Down to the wire, but I finished my FOURTEENTH #PrideMechParade mini tonight - this Marauder Bounty Hunter, which is rather apt considering it's the MLM flag! Guess this MechWarrior is gonna hunt himself a man one way or the other!

A Battletech miniature of a King Crab painted in the white, pink, and blue of the Trans Pride flag. It has a kind of WWII fighter plane face painted on it with big eyes and sharp teeth. The Progress Pride flag has been added to its shoulder armor.
The same mech, pointed the other direction to reveal the Genderqueer flag on its other shoulder.
The mech from dead on, a large Trans Pride flag hanging on the wall behind it.
A similar shot, but the background flag has been swapped out with Rainbow Pride colors.
A Crab can be a Long, a Queen, and anything in between. A last minute #PrideMechParade entry for my siblings in the Battletech community and beyond. I hope you've all had as wonderful a Pride Month as possible!

2 Battletech tanks painted in the classic leather/bdsm pride flag and lipstick lesbian pride flag. The leather tank has A C A B emblazoned on the turret.
*Artoo squeal* just under the mark! This June's pride-tech minis done. They've been sitting on my desk waiting for pics for a couple weeks now but we all know on the foul interwebz "Pics or it didn't happen"
Leather and lipstick lez tanks.

A group of 15 miniature battletech urbanmechs painted in a variety of palettes representing various pride flags.
A group of 15 miniature battletech urbanmechs painted in a variety of palettes representing various pride flags. More light and from a higher angle, but less focus on the back row.
Capping off my #PrideMechParade with a group shot of my #gay #battletech #miniaturepainting urbanmech project. Speed/volume of plastic and representation was more important than quality, but I'm still pretty happy with the outcome, and the group is more than the sum of its parts. Happy #pride, all!

It's time for your monthly BattleTech news blast! June was once again another busy month, with new product previews, new game announcements, and the #PrideMechParade!

I am not a skilled painter, not as much as others. I can barely hold a brush steady due to physical issues. But I still wanted to do something to show my support and love for a close friend and a community that welcomed me. So for #PrideMechParade I painted this Battletech Wasp.

Four battletech mechs, all painted in pride flag themed colour schemes stand in a snowy landscape. A King Crab in Lesbian Pride colours, The one that looks like a fighter jet with arms and legs in Gay Men's Pride colours, A Vapour Eagle in Bisexual Pride colours, And a Wolverine in Trans Pride colours.
The same scene viewed from the right, showing a closer view of the King Crab, as well as the left sides of the other three mechs.
The same scene viewed from the left, showing a closer view of the Gay Men's Pride mecha, as well a better view of the right side of the other mechs. Also, if you got this far into my pride mech posting, I hope you had a great pride month!
Seeing as it's the final day of (US) Pride Month, here's a final group shot for the #PrideMechParade.
Each one of these mechs is truly formidable in their own right, but standing together they're nigh on unstoppable!

A nova medium omnimech in non-binary pride colors.
A bit late but a work in progress for the #pridemechparade . Probably won’t have this finished till after June. It needs a lot of touchups, but wanted to get it started before the month ended.
Unfortunately I can’t be official out in person as non-binary, so I decided to paint this.

The last model of the #PrideMechParade ! #miniaturepainting a #prideprogress flag palette. This is M'khand's UM-IIC2 urbanmech from @catalystgamelabs.bsky.social 's #battletech and boy does it have guns. The centering was not great, but representation is more important than perfection.

Hoo boy. I tried #miniaturepainting an #ally flag palette for #PrideMechParade. My concept said "1/8 vertical slices of alternating colour and monochrome" and the model said "BEACH BALL." This is M'khand's UM-IIC from @catalystgamelabs.bsky.social 's #battletech

#miniaturepainting a #genderfluid flag palette for #PrideMechParade. This is M'khand's UM base plus some kitbashing. Afaik @catalystgamelabs.bsky.social actually pushed a UM-LAM model for #battletech but it's not a widely available one.

And finally for today, the mini my girlfriend called the Grand Marshal of the #PrideMechParade, this golden boy Hatamoto-Chi is repping the nine-stripe variant of the Pride flag - the final version Gilbert Baker designed before he passed.

It might be a little punny but I couldn't resist painting up this Grizzly to represent Bear Pride! 🐾
