Battletech Mercenary Locust in 1/60
Building the Cockpit.
The kit I got was a resin cast (not printed) of a hybrid version of the Locust and took off with it. First thing I needed to do was hollow out the torso and scratch build the cockpit and torso storage. I had a couple of Raging Heroes minis that I had been holding for just this sort of a dio.
I took a 1/48 F-16 cockpit and then scratched in the pieces I needed. Once that was all done – we buttoned up the torso and laid fresh armor plating over the gaps. I also had to scratch build the cockpit framework. That’s one of the advantages of the new design which makes it easier to custom work.
Then on to painting.
