What will you find here? Ramblings from an aging gamer-miniature painter. When I first started out in this hobby computers were in their infancy and finding other gamers could only be done by going to conventions or as in my case bumping into somebody who happened to see me reading "Panzer Leader" on the school bus. Look how far we have come! The internet has allowed our small community to be able to connect on a level I never dreamed of when I was but a small lad. What I do hope you will find here is something interesting from one wargamer/miniature painter to another. I paint miniatures somewhat decently, so I will be posting some pictures of my work, and perhaps a review or two of games and/or miniatures. Most of all this is just about having fun and anything I post here is meant to be for that reason.

Battletech & MA.K Maschinen Krieger (SF3D) Gans

Well Thanksgiving has come and gone, and of course these are busy times for everyone, but I was able to get a few moments to work on a few models. 

Posting two different subjects here. First up is some of the new Battletech stuff from Catalyst Game labs. The scale is 1:285 or 6mm. I’ve painted up two models of four required so far for my Heavy Recon Lance. A Catapult and a Wasp. The smaller of the two is the Wasp. The Catapult brings a couple of big missile launchers to the field of battle, while the Wasp is a fast Scout type mech. They are from House Kurita (The Draconis Combine) and are part of the Regiment called the Genyosha. 







The other subject is a 15mm scale model called a Gans for Ma.K. It’s a lunar unit (operates in space and on the moon), but is also known to battle on Earth. It’s a kit-bashed model. I used three different models to make this one. Though I hear that Slave 2 gaming will possibly be making the model in the future.






Well that’s it for now, and as always thanks for looking.


Cheers

Kevin

  1. 6mm! Kev has lost it!! But, then I look at the base and see it must be a 20mm hex, correct? So a 6mm figure but a very tall 6mm figure? Very nice.

    OK than... a 15mm figure. Still way too small! This cannot be good for your eyes Kev!! Lots of detail on this figure! Well done!

    1. 25mm Hex's Skip, good guess though. Skip years ago I switched up to magnifying flip down nods. Without those I couldn't paint a bit. The small scale certainly does not help though.

  2. Great job as always. The bases really show off the figs.
