Having the idea in my head from the start really helped bring it together in the end. It conveys the sense I was after and it was a good learning experience.

The goal was to make even a 20-ton Locust look bad-ar$ed and it worked for my eye. A fAtlas might be dismissive of one, but from the perspective of troops on the ground, a BattleMech is still a BattleMech.

I have another ‘Mech on the horizon, and I’ll spend more time documenting the “how” of doing things, specifically the terrain and customization of the ‘Mech.

Of note – there are rules for 28mm BattleTech out in the universe.  It’s more of a “garage floor” kind of game rather than table top, but I’ve seen them at Cons – and I’m not sayin’ that it’d make an awesome last day of a BootCamp,   but I’m thinkin’ it’d make an awesome last day of a boot camp. 🙂

Great work! I love the cockpit work as well. I have seven robot/mecha kits at 1/48 and 1/35 scale stored in a dark cupboard. This project has rekindled my diorama building juices again.

Congrats – great work – hope to see more in the future.

Wunderbar! I’ve always liked the light mechs, even though the big boys get all the attention.
You did a terrific job!
