Good stuff..Lovely paint jobs

I was having a quick look at your blog about the Battletech Omega which looked interesting and seems a pity it was never released

Saying that I havnt played a 'proper' game of Battletech since I discovered Renegade Tech some years ago

Thanks for the praise on the paint...

I thought that Omega looked interesting, but when I asked about it on the official forums I got nothing that could be described as helpful back from the CGL people.

What's Renegade Tech?

Ashley...You're showing off again !
Great stuff !!
Cheers - Phil.

Well thank you for saying so, I think?

Renegade Tech was a game that FASA released sometime after Battletech, it ws meant to be there flagship series of war games and Roleplaying  with a deep space ,fighter and ground combat game featuring grav tanks

While they were getting it ready they released Battletech as a one off game in a bag to tide them over

Sadly Renegde Legion didnt take off although it is a superb set of games where all 3 games seamlessly work together ( unlike Battletech where they used 6" nails)

The Combat system used templates of weapon damage which  few years go someone converted it over to Battletech

Sadly the stuff has been taken off line due to who knows why but I manged to save a copy before it disappeared

Hi Ashley....I really love the way you, and so many of our esteemed members of the forum paint their figures !
I'm just envious ! (Of the skill and the quantities of models.)
When I say people are showing off, I mean it "in the nicest possible way."
But I think you all know that ! ..
Cheers - Phil.

Looking good!

Sometimes I think I'm really mad. Why, oh why couldn't I be happy painting them in a plain olive drab scheme, with say contrasting segments, like in the TV show. No, I want to paint them in Berlin Brigade camo.

Bonkers I tell you, totally bonkers. How long is that going to take me? Could I make it any harder on myself?  

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Berlin Brigade camo, that's really really hard core work, I tried it with moderns, it takes longer to mask up than paint, I couldn't see straight for days!

Resurrecting the dead, "That is not dead which can eternal lie, And with strange aeons even death may die."  I present some current Heavy Gear 10mm action.



More obviously on blog, where I'm celebrating 300 posts.

PS: Is there a way of scaling the image when I post it here?

May I make one small suggestion. not about the painting (which is superb), but the photography?

Your white balance seems a bit off. You can either tell your camera to compensate, adjust it in Photoshop (other photo manipulation packages are available) or photographing in natural light (or use daylight bulbs).

I had a play with one of the photos from your blog, and IMHO the modified photo makes your paint job leap out!

[Paint it Pink]

Yes that's great.  I'm stiill trying to get to grips with the photo manipulation software I've got , Silkypix that comes with the camera and just not getting it.  I don't know what I'm doing wrong.  Thank you.
