#hobbystreak day 911 This company is almost done, only their #battletech chevrons to go. Really fun scheme to do, the sea green and pink works well I think. Close up of a few models, I realised I have pretty muxh only shown group shots for a while. #battletechmercs #bt

#hobbystreak day 910 Did up the SoH green highlight, I will give them a slightly lighter touch as well. Battletech vehicles are so satisfying to base and paint. I couldnt paint until really late in the day. Damn heat. #battletech #battletechmerc #paintingbattletech

#hobbystreak day 909 Finished the symbol on the militia company. Happy with it, reads nicley on the vehicles. Another merx company cleaned and preped for paint. Once the tenp goes down this evening I will spray both I hope. #battletech #paintingbattletech #btmercs

#hobbystreak day 908 I put the first highlight on the pink, next will be a light highlight to really show the pattern. 3 overlapping sqaures. Most of my hobby time was making this hobby insert, very rough process. Fun and done now #battletech #hobbydiy #battletechmercs

#hobbystreak day 907 Militia company details finished and wash applied. The accent colour looks great like this. I popped out to woodies and grabbed some "moudling" to make my little project tray thing, it will be cut to size soon. #battletech #battletechmerc #hobbydiy

#hobbystreak day 906 Marking on company, two smalll bits to go before washes. Most of my hobbytime was used to tidy up my hobby space, and to prepare parts for a rack to keep projects in order. #battletech #battletechmercs #hobbydiy

#hobbystreak day 906 Merc company cleaned and based. Ready for spray. Mostly hover units but all fast. I masked and sprayed the campaign map, ran out of wraith bone with a little to go. Now to order more, I'll need to add something small to get free shipping. #battletech #campaignmap

#hobbystreak day 904 I added metallics to this company. I didn't take a picture before touching a brush to them this morning. So the patterns base is on one already. I will be keeping the flames for a merc unit. #battletech #btmercs #battletechpainting

#hobbystreak day 903 Light day of hobbying, I did the cockpits on this militia unit. I am trying to decide between flames from the bottom or a "shape" pattern near the top. Purple either way. Any thoughts? I also looked up napoleonics, but who wasn't yesterday. #battletech #battletechmercs

#hobbystreak day 902 Not pictured tidying around leds on the map. Pictured main colour blocked in on the militia force. Gonna add some fun freehand. 2nd picture is a hover heavy merc unit being prepared I want to make objectives and play the game, crazy as that sounds #battletech #btmercs

#hobbystreak day 901 I slapped contrast on these comstar units. I finished texturing the map, I will let it set and see if it feels right befire spraying. Unlit and lit versions. Militia company with bases done. #battletech #mapmaking #campaignmap

#hobbystreak day 900 Set realistic goals for you. Run your own race, me counting my model count for the year is how I measure my fight againts my pile of shame and reminds me to not go buying too many more models. If trying to keepup is getting you down, stop. Hobbys should be relaxing #selfcare

#hobbystreak day 899 Good progress on the texture. I can only add so much at a time, the sand seems to slow down glue curing. Some of the white ares are glue with activator sprayed straight on. Should be ready for paint in the next day or two. #mapmaking #campaignmap

#hobbystreak day 898 I glued the lights in place after much research to see if superglue was the best opion. They are nice and secure with 2 spare leds behind the canvas, I kinda want to use them to create a glow through it, which may not survive the painting process. #mapmaking #starmaps

#hobbystreak fay 897 Touched a little colour to the saint. The grey trays are two merc companies being readied for spray. One heavily focused on hover units and light vehicles, the other heavy units. I lost time in a fruitless search for a dropped gunpla part. #battletech #btmercs

#hobbystreak day 896 Finished up the mutant bringing me to 296 for the year. It is very satisfying to bring a model from wire frame to completion. The mutunt hasn't been named in my Turkhanibh posts but is the first model from it to be The saint has begun #turkhanibh #inq28 #mutant

#hobbystreak day 895 This cute little guy is being done. Very simple plan for him, let the eye draw focus, and make him dirty. BT stuff sprayed. The glorious Kingcrab brings me great joy. The militia will be sea green. The objective is just fun #battletech #inq28 #comstar #kingcrab

#hobbystreak day 894 Finished up this star bringing me to 295 models done for the year. Very fun little unit, I had to mix the grey for the spots so they are a few different shades. Weather wad terrible so no spraying. I should be able to spray over the weekend. #battletech #snokejaguar

#hobbystreak day 893 One more smoke Jaguar, they should be finished by next post. The comstar and planetary militia are based and ready for spray. I always love smaller vehicles, the base space gives a chance for little dioramas Fun bonus objective, a little diorama #battletech #smokejaguar

#hobbystreak day 892 These BT models are ready for basing, cleaned all yesterday. I added the Shilone to the comstar bundle. I spent a fair bit of time assigning models to BT forces. I want to have them ready to paint, the advantage of the sun while I can #battletech #comstar #comstar

#hobbystreak day 891 I held of finishing the Smoke jaguars to get models ready to spray. Kingcrab and supports I havn't looked up how they fit in the comstar level system. Planetary milita Vindicator sprayed Card binder represents admin for BT lots of it. #battletech #comstar #ironwarriors

#hobbystreak day 890 Two mechs with spots done. Much more effective on the Stone Rhino big panels help it. I did magnet work on the dread, no need to show. Had a bad head ache, from the atmospherics, and not from too much coffee*. So I went to bed ealry. *it didnt help #battletech #smokejaguar

#hobbystreak day 889 Added a couple of trophies to the dread, many more to come. It is in 6 sub assemblies. Smoke Jaguar star is ready for its spots. Then it is pretty much done. I hope to blitz lots of BT lances over the weekend to prep for paint #30k #horusheresy #nightlords #battletech

#hobbystreak day 888 Saturnine dread, gonna be covered in trophies. The disintigrator should be up. Smoke Jaguar nearly ready for next stage. I have always loved John Blanche's work even before I knew most of my favourite 40k pieces were his. #30k #horusheresy #nightlord #battletech

#hobbystreak day 887 Star with some grey panelling done. A quick process. Parts for the Saturnine dread, its a fun model. Vindicator with lat details done, it will be sprayed next good day. I updated my BT model list to plan what is left to do. #30k #horusheresy #nightlords #ironwarriors

#hobbystreak day 886 I have let my stock of sprayed models run down. 8 left, thankfully the weather has slowed me down or I would be out. Saturnine dread needs a little debris under foot to make contact look just right. Vindicator needs final details. #nightlords #horusheresy #Ironwarriors

#hobbystreak day 885 Finished up the Saturnine dread base. No work on the dread. Going to let the feet adapt to the base. Smashed pipes are fun to make. Will be NL Cleaning the vindicator, superglue pops apart very easily. Will be IW Early night after early up. #horusheresy #30k

#hobbystreak day 884 I did a little work towards the Saturnine dread base. Then got an early night. We planned to be up at 6 and out the door for 7 on a bank holiday Sunday. The girls had great fun supporting mommy at her first 10k. #nightlords #terrain #basing

#hobbystreak day 883 Only paintkng or modellong was canopies on these guys. The pinky purple contrast well with the flat grey. I did plan some heresy NL units. Bjt did not want to deal with resin will i was so warm. #battletech #smokejaguars

#hobbystreak day 882 Star advanced quite a lot. Got to the point of washing. Next thing is the canopies, I like to do them before the main body. To avoid messing up work. My local BT carrier, Eirehobbies, is out of Kingcrabs. Anyone have a spare? #battletech #smokehaguar

#hobbystreak day 881 Canopies blocked in, a nice strong contrast to the main body. The gun metal has been blocked in gonna throw a little warplock bronze, and weapon colours. After that tidying up with grey before washing. It still very warm, all painting was very late. #battletech #smokejaguar

#hobbystreak day 880 Some metallics blocked in and base brown on. I also started puttkng together a list of mechs for the Wolverines It was too warm to do much else, I know that 29° is not that hot for many places, but in Ireland it is very hot #battletech #smokejaguar

#hobbystreak day 879 Smoke jaguars Alpha galaxy grey blocked in. Work to get back to sprue grey. Next clan colours will be wolverine. Gonna be early clan mechs. Tried to do some panel lining, put the kit away dirty. So spent 30 minutes uncloging that. #battletech #smokejaguar #gunpla

#hobbystreak day 878 Very light day. Did some weapons on this guy. There is panel lining and such to go. I don't know when to call Gunpla done, they dont have a rimming stage. Pictures from out and about before our youngest feel in some nettles. All good now #gunpla #parenting

#hobbystreak day 877 I brought #Aerial #gunpla to standing, and watched the start of the Witch from Mercury. I enjoyed it. I spray laquered these buildings before they go to the attic. #terrainmaking The map has names added, and light holes tidied. Space structures will be hard #campaignmap

#hobbystreak day 876 I picked clan Smoke Jaguar, Alpha Galaxy for my next clan star. Some metallics added. Not pictured. The map progresses, I have added magnetic points to the canvas. I need to finalise the system names before I carry on texturing. #battletech #campaignmap #starmap

#hobbystreak day 875 Finished up these guys bringing me to 290 models for the year. Rifleman, Orion, Maurader, and an Atlas. A high end merc unit, this is completes a second merc company. Starting a Clan star next. #battletech #btmerc #catalystgamelabs

#hobbystreak day 874 Grey done on all of these guys, I will blitz their red in work today. Hopefully get their last details and weathering done today as well. More canvas map planning, I need to know how much space I need before texturing #campaignmap #battletech

#hobbystreak day 873 Light hobby day. I slappd some grey on these guys in work. At home I did some research and thinking about how I want name plates to appear. I will paint them on, name plates wouldnt work for the vibe. I have thougj throught the control markers #battletech #wip

#hobbystreak day 872 Camopy jewelling done and white highlighted. Classic white Atlas face, clsssic for a reason. Progress on the map. Mocked the lights in, numbered on the back. Test texture down arpund west Cork and Kerry. I hope it comes along quickly. #Battletech #campaign #map #30k

#hobbystreak day 871 Made shoes for some Gunpla, I also cleaned leg parts but they dosnt look as funny. Started taking symbols off the vindicator and cleaning missed mold lines. Not pictured LED plans for the canvas map. Deciding between complicated or simple. #gunpla #30k #ironwarriors

#hobbystreak day 870 Game night woth friends, we set up a necro board for a quick game then realised we are really out of date with the rules. No necro played. Loved set up the board, would do again Played Arcs, nor for us. Did a little trade for this vindicator. Played liars dice #necromunda

#hobbystreak day 869 Merc lance ready for highlights. This company has some serious hardward. Last three pics are progress on the framework for a campaign map. They could be a tourism ad. Not pictured, bits sorting #battletech #art #campaignmap

#hobbystreak day 868 Finshed up my last The Damned model, for real this time. Painted him nice and dirty. Bringns me to 286 models for the year. Merc lance needs weappn colours then a tidy up before washes. #necromunda #battletech #thedamned #wargamesatlantic

#hobbystreak day 867 Lance with most metal blocked in and base brown on. Fun set of mechs. The ogyrn has a wash on, I threw some pinkish wash around the face to give it some character. Old timey detective trench coat, plan to cover it in blood dirt and grime #battletech #necromunda

#hobbystreak day 866 Heavy lance with some more cplpur blocked in, hiving the Atlas the classic look. Colour blocking started on the brute. Bright safety kit colours, will be toned down at the end. Cleaver has been fun. #battletech #necromunda #thedamned #scratchmade

#hobbystreak day 865 Finished up these 4 merc mechs bringing me up to 285 for the year. Fun as always the chevron is so satisfying, started a heavy lance. Last dude is a brute from #thedamned doing him up as a necro outcast leader, with cherry street neighbour hater vibes #battletech #necromunda

#hobbystreak day 864 4 mechs pretty much done, they just need a good rimming. They have a similar scale logo to the first lance with a different angle for the base. Some of you will be wondering why I jumped to this canvas map. Storage, I will be able to hang it up #battletech #worldbuilding

#hobbystreak day 863 Light work, highlighted the black on this guy. Still ruminating on the campaign to propose to the Irish heresy scene. I will be searching for the base for the map today. I saw a canvas as a a board recently, so why not. And I made cupcakes with the kids #battletech #parenting

#hobbystreak day 862 These guys advamced a fair bit. All cockpits and white highlighted, and black highlighted on 2. Fun guys, not planning models I want to do for Ashes of betrayal in September. Probbaly more IW heavy weapons. #battletech #btmercs
