shaking off the rust, here's my Jade Falcons Nova. i tried to make the laser pipes look heat damaged, not bad for a first attempt, i think. #BattleTech #AlphaStrike #miniaturepainting

a Nova mech from Clan Jade Falcons, torso painted green, red paint splashed on feet

Okay, hit up Blick this morning as soon as they opened. Went for odorless spirits for oil paints, plus liquitex white ink for light mapping.

Found a couple matching stickers for my bff and gf, and also they had some 9x12 inch wood plaques on clearance for 70% off, so I grabbed four of those for BIG dioramas. Like, "the larger mechs from Dark Age facing a kaiju" big dioramas.

The assembled Super Robot Star, SLDF Wayward Son.

The first three prototypes of the Getter System, the prototype Mazinger Z, and the prototype Combattler V. By the time of the clan invasion, these are practically museum pieces, though all would go into mass production and continue to have long effective lives and many upgrades.

A photo of five super robot wars gashapon miniatures repainted and repurposed into Batttletech miniatures.  There are far too many details to include here, please look for my previous posts of the individual mechs.

The five mechs, from left to right, are Getter 3, Getter 1, Getter 2, Combattler V, and Mazinger Z, in all their canonical color scheme glory, posed on some Hextech battletech terrain.

The Combattler V, Super Robot Star, SLDF wayward Son.

A pioneer of ranged melee attacks armed only with a few small energy weapons and missiles otherwise, its super electromagnetic yoyo can strike at unexpectedly long distances. Attempts to make a mech-sized garrote failed, unfortunately, due to the high variability of mech head size, placement, and lack of necks.

A front right quarter shot of a super-deformed Combattler V miniature, from Super Robot Wars.  It is pictured with the two swords that make the Twin Lance melee weapon, and based on a battletech hex base with extremely stubby green grass on brown earth, and my battletech sides, black front, green front sides, yellow rear sides, and red rear.

Combattler V is painted in its canonical color scheme, with feet mixed red, white, and blue with blue cockpit windows, blue lower legs and arms, white thighs and upper arms, blue lower torso, red upper torso and head, yellow half-mask beneath its nose, blue earpieces sticking out from the sides, and yellow V with blue "eyebrows" on the forehead between two yellow antennae.

The swords are done in full non-metallic metal style, with blue hilts, gold lower section, and black/white gradient non-metallic metal for the blades themselves.

The color scheme really makes it clear that this robot was made to appeal to children, wiuth a bit of black and white, and a lot of bold primary colors, with all three present.A front left quarter of the same mech, showing the rear side NMM work on the left hand sword, and the darker shading on the non-lightward side.  The back of the head can barely be seen, with yellow vents on the back of the head.  The pose doesn't look as good from this angle, as the head is turned to face the front right side, the right arm outstretched with sword held sideways, and the left arm held out forward with sword held mostly upright.Rear left quarter shot, showing the full rear of the head, with its large white panel on the upper rear, where the V would be on the front, with yellow venting behind it.  The back side can be seen as well, with the tank treads racked in the back, and two yellow boosters above them, all in a recess on each side of the rear torso armor.Rear right quarter shot, showing the right foot buried in pushed-up dirt and grass, the dark side shading really shown off on the underside of the right arm.
