John wants Bears and Horses: A Battletech Journey
In the beginning. There was Grey Potential.
This is my latest haul, the contents of two “Clan Star” boxes and two “Inner Sphere Lance” boxes. The front two rows are the Inner Sphere mechs and the others are the Clan mechs.
How did I choose? Well, I picked boxes based on the mechs I could identify and liked. So for the Clans, I already own a Timber Wolf (Mad Cat) and the other mechs that stood out to me from enjoying various Youtube content and the (weird) animated series, was the Vulture (Mad Dog) and the Hunchback.
The Innersphere…well. One box had an Atlas! Enough said.
So, with the mechs assembled, There was some prep to be done. Mainly washing the models (Because yes, the parts do have mold release on them, be aware!) and removing the worst of the moldlines. So with that done…
On to priming!
You see there are two cans of spray here, but the mechs looks like they are in one colour. And your eyes are not deceiving you! I started with Greyseer, with the intention of preshading, but I ran out and did the majority of the undercoat in Wraithbone. It really didn’t matter so much to me as adding the base colours would likely hide any shading the rattle cans were going to provide.
Moving forward, all mechs I do after this will just be done with Wraithbone.
