I’m sometimes asked about the decals I use on my #BattleTech minis. Of course FightingPirannahGraphics for faction insignia, and occasionally some GamesWorkshop or scale model (plane) ones. I also use a lot of decal sheets you can buy to detail mechs/GunPla. Here are some of my recommendations:

Two sets of Vertex sheets I buy at YodobashiCamera. Cheap and have dozens of decals on with both unreadable text and things like ‘Caution’, ‘Hot Surface’, ‘Beware of blast’ and the like. Absolutely excellent sets.

Thank you. The weathering on the red is just a bit of Rhinox Hide sponged on. On the feet I painted on some very watered-down paint the same colour as the basing, letting it dry in the crevices.

I chose it not.
It chose me.😎

We are going to see it on Monday, but yes, I agree if Bruce isn’t in it then it’s not really a Tron movie is it?

Thanks, and fair enough😄

They look really good!👍

Imagine sanding the mold lines though!😅

Captured in late 3147 after House Kurita seized New Avalon, this NSR-9J was quickly repaired and repainted in Draconis livery. #battletech #battletechhobby #draconiscombine #housekurita

Thanks, Dad!

Training some new Mech Warriors? Excellent. I agree the succession wars is probably the best place to start.

Kierdale Models @kierdalemodels.bsky.social · 1d

Very nice work. What models are they?

Calling it good enough. A Bane painted up for my 1st Falcon Sentinels. #battletech

A miniature of a Bane battlemech, painted green with yellow accents. A mural of a falcon covers part of the top of the hull.

I recently got Rogue Warriors to give it a try. Simple rules, 4-on-4 (or co-op/solo). Cheap, too. Have you tried it?
I’m going to get some of the WA Operators for that.

Completed DRG-1N for my son’s #draconiscombine forces. The 15th Mech I’ve painted for them and the first Dragon! #battletech #battletechhobby #housekurita

Someone needs to check the weather in hell. Has it frozen over??? Here is an actually uplifting story about wargaming/wargamers.

Spalding Wargames Club putting mental health on the front line

Members of a wargaming club say the support they have been getting from the sessions are 'crucial'.
