Now you too can play the Avatar films in Battletech.
Somehow I think the results would be different.

If I ever get to be in a tournament, it will be hard not to take some of these guys.

Amazing!
Good luck in the tournament! Hope it's a good time. They sound fun.

I've heard that complaint from several people.
BSP Asset card would be nice though.

Yours look fantastic, but I'm very glad I skipped this pack.

A good friend from my 1980s university days passed his #Battletech collection on to me. Some real treasures I am very very grateful for. These are just part of it.

Did the same a couple years ago and it has been a great decision.
Funner and faster to paint too.

I missed out! Luckily, Fortress Miniatures and Games had some for order, so I got one and a pack of Kurita decals.

Iโ€™m going to take a break before doing photos with models.
(And do plan to add some signboards)

Ah, great idea!

Nice!
I'll check them out. Maybe pick up the Shrike I've been eyeing from them as well.

Lol, I know that sounded stupid, but I thought I'd heard they were going to do some plastic after being acquired by Catalyst.
(I prefer plastic, but metal is cool too.)
January 30, 2026 at 3:36 AM
Is it metal?
I like that it's the same sculpt.

I need another Battlemaster mini, love it. Thinking about getting the pricey one you put together yourself.
January 30, 2026 at 1:20 AM
Love the Battlemaster!
January 30, 2026 at 1:17 AM
I think I agree with both of you guys. The exhaust on this one also pushes up against the model in a weird way.
It looks pretty cool without the jumping effect and seems like it would all around be easier to paint and store.

Really wanted a Jade Hawk, so I picked up this set. Now I have to decide if I want the Jade Hawk to be permanently in jumping pose or not.

Got my #battletech Kurita Command Lance!

And look who we get stats for! 'Ol Takashi's not too shabby a MechWarrior, it seems.

Love the paint job. Kinda the opposite of his BattleMaster.

1980s #RalPartha original #Battletech "Grasshopper" mech in progress. Stripped old paint. Replaced tiny missing hands with salvaged fists. Repositioned right arm. Add antenna. Ral Partha vintage base. Stabbed pinning wire into my finger. It's still ugly. Maybe a good paint job can save it.
