Blast from the past

I was feeling nostalgic this evening, and I broke out my old Battletech minis.  I used to play the game all the time decades ago, but until two years ago at ChimaeraCon, I hadn't played BT in over a decade.

My paint jobs on these miniatures aren't nearly as good as I remembered them to be.  I kept some of them in the box.  Still, in the interest of sharing, I will post a few of them for your enjoyment:

WOLVERINE: I like the camo scheme on this 'mech--very otherworldly.

 


LONGBOW: A Macross (OK, I knew it at the time under the name Robotech) design, this model sports a winter paint scheme.

 

WARHAMMER: Another Macross figure, and my favorite battlemech.

 

CATAPULT: I think this was a FASA original. Note the skull insignia, taken from a 1/144 Macross model.

 

PHOENIX HAWK: I'm happy with the painting and basing on this model.

 

 LAND-AIR MECH (LAM): I tried to paint scorch marks from re-entering the atmosphere, but it just makes this veritech look dirty.

 

MARAUDER: With battle long-term storage damage!

 

Damn ... now I want to play a game.
