🇺🇸 Great all around Mixed Relay for US Biathlon. Lucie Anderson anchored the team and, coming off a week at the FIS XC event in Davos, had just 1 spare round to bring the team home in 5th! Top 5 basically the entire day after Jake Brown handed off in 6th!

Back to #BattleTech for a bit. Camouflaged a Clan Wolf #MadCat as I test a paint scheme for an upcoming video shoot in January.
First time I’ve really used brown (this one @thearmypainter.bsky.social Fanatic) on anything but basing.

Sad news to report: Alea O'Shea who did an excellent job voicing Mia in Mechwarrior 5 Clans has been diagnosed with brain cancer. She's been posting about it on her IG and news have been covering it last month. Here's hoping that she'll pull through ♥️

A look at the SKW-4G variant of the Shockwave for patrons #BattleTech
’Mech Manual: Shockwave SKW-4G
The SKW-4G was the first variant for the Shockwave SKW-2F. Earthwerks-FWL introduced it just one year after the initial production model, but its adoption was slow due to the experimental laser technology that it used. Despite the slower initial adoption, the SKW-4G has proliferated to just as many militaries as the SKW-2F. If you're at the Supporter tier on Patreon, you can read about the Shockwave SKW-4G here:
