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. Some examples on minis.

I bought this on the cheap to make as a carrier-corvette for #voidfighter
The kit seems a good size, from a quick look at the parts.
I’ve been living in Japan for 24 years now and I’ve actually never seen Space Battleship Yamato. I don’t watch much anime actually.🤔

Lord? It’s true, since his disappearance in 1974 his following has dwindled considerably🤔

That was my first ever WD!😄👍

Can do. Let me correct a mistake or two first. A Google Drive link would be okay?👍

…one of the gunships had only an enhanced turret (with 2D10 guns!) but lost the turret and took an engine hit in one turn! It trundled about at Speed 1 for a couple of turns but managed to get off the board, tanking a few hits on its six.

Some pics from today’s #voidfighter game. 2 vs 2, all had played last week. This time I let them choose their upgrades so they could customise their ships…though one got hit in their Systems and lost all their upgrades in the second turn!😆
They’re learning well though and getting craftier….

Caesar’s Civil Wars - Pompey’s Legio III Command Tent. Cracking 28mm Romans from Aventine Miniatures, plus a bloke from Warlord Games who appears to be very theatrical in his mannerisms.

And my Snakebite Painboy, complete with syringe squig and gretchin helpers. One has flags for staking out which battlefield ‘customers’ the doc has claimed. #warhammercommunity #warhammer40k #spaceorks #snakebiteorks

👏👏👏Lovely camo, Iain. They look very evil.

And his minderz. Weirdboys not having minderz these days is disappointing. And all Orks should have backplates with family symbols!

I did the weirdboy’s cape as if he’d somehow stolen Njal Stormcaller’s.

Some more Snakebites, going up on Mercari this Friday.
First a Snakebite weirdboy and minderz, inspired by art in ‘Ere We Go.

I got these rose-like decorations from a craft store after seeing some hobbyist paint them up as cabbages. Cheap and the look the part (excuse mine being alien cabbages).

18 foot long Venice massed skirmish at this year's Ayton weekend. Brilliant fun

That looks great. What game is it?
kierdalemodels.bsky.social
That is fantastic, and so original!👏👏👏
kierdalemodels.bsky.social
I love that game. Still play it.
kierdalemodels.bsky.social
Oh yes, Da BadMoon still awaits photographing…then I’ll sell it.

Thanks, Jolemai😊
I really enjoyed making this army. The conversions & the painting were the most characterful I’ve ever done. For a long time I told myself to keep it, I’d play with it sometime, but I know that I won’t. It’s taking up space and I know that I am not going to go back to 40k or GW.

Last ones of this model. Not a tournament-legal base-size, that🧐

Really hard to photograph this one well. A Snakebite weirdboy strapped to two copper poles, being carried into combat by his four minderz. A grot sits atop him, holding onto a captured Space Wolf flag.
