Battletech revisited after 20 years
Hit the mother load for mechs
I Spent Friday night going through our storage unit and i found a the rest of my mech stored for over 20 years.
Found around 169 mechs from the early 90s. My Month long project just turn into a year long one.I was plan on stripping the paint and repaint these miniatures, but i may just touch up as many as i can first.
Step one : organize which models are worth saving.
Step two : remove all the basing material. I used ballast for a rubble effect, but it seem to large. I plan to use sand as the basing it provide a nice contrast.
step three : strip the paint. i plan to try testor ELO(easy lift off) paint and decal remover. Since this a product is new to me i will start with small batchs of 4 (lance size).
step four : clean in warn soapy water let dry .
step five : prime using color primers to match house of inner sphere colors
step six : paint match the best i can exiting units, Divide into 5 houses as even as i can.
step seven : base and clear coat
