Catapult - 1st Robinson Rangers I decided that the 1st Robinson Rangers would be my Primary Inner Sphere force partly due to being able to use them from the 2nd Succession War though the IIClan Era. Thoughts? #battletech #battletechgame #battletechpainting #battletechstories #minipainting

Lament - XIV Hastati Sentinels I picked up the Third Star League Strike Team box today. This is the first box I've picked up with a pre-painted model. I did a wash and weathering, plus metal paint. Thoughts? #battletech #battletechgame #battletechpainting #battletechstories #minipainting

Lets try this Again. An interesting project idea. Clan Wolverine Wolverine. I have an extra Wolverine available and also decals. Give some clanners a coronary. Artist link: www.deviantart.com/spooky777/ga... Didn't find them on BlueSky when I did a quick search.

Locust- Band of the Damned I've been working on some "OpForce" mechs while I finalize my main forces. This Locust is the 4th Band of the Damned mech I've done. #5 is a Vulcan. #battletech #battletechgame #battletechpainting #battletechstories #minipainting

Just wanted to remind everyone that The Chain Story Project offers #freefiction by a lot of talented writers. Please check it out. Oh, and if you could re-post, that would be a huge help. Sharing is life for projects like this. www.chainstorycore.com

Jenner - Band of the Damned I've been working on some "OpForce" mechs while I finalize my main forces. This Jenner is the 3rd Band of the Damned mech I've done. #battletech #battletechgame #battletechpainting #battletechstories #minipainting

Thunderbolt - Band of the Damned This is the 2nd Mech I've finished for my Band of the Damned "OpForce". I'm looking at doing a few more to have five or six mechs available as a default enemy force. #battletech #battletechgame #battletechpainting #battletechstories #minipainting

A Fox Patrol Question. @swankmotron.com When the Fox Patrol served with the Lone Wolves, did they add the Lone Wolves logo to their mechs to go along with the Fox Patrol logo? Or, did they just keep the Fox Patrol Logo by itself. Asking as I plan on painting up Fox Patrol Mechs as I get models.

Griffin - Draconis Combine I'm not a fan of the Draconis Combine. But I decided to do a couple up as an 'OpForce', along with the Band of the Damned. Griffin is from the Kell Hounds Striker Lance Box. #battletech #battletechgame #battletechpainting #battletechstories #miniphotography

My take on the Death Kangaroos Commando piloted by Quarrel Hamilton. I've enjoyed the Death Kangaroos stories by @michaelastackpole.bsky.social so far. I need to figure out Lanie's 'Black Agnes' next. #battletech #battletechgame #battletechpainting #battletechstories

Wolverine - Draconis Combine I painted this Mech based on the Pilot Card that came in 2019 Beginner Box. It's the first of two Draconis Combine mechs I've done do far. They'll also act as 'OpForce' for the 1st Robinson Rangers. #battletech #battletechgame #battletechpainting #minipainting

Wolverine - Band of the Damned I painted this Mech as an OpForce Mech for my two 1st Sword of the Light Draconis Combine Mechs. I changed to the scheme to Black and Red to better differentiate from the two 1st Sword Mechs. #battletech #battletechgame #battletechpainting #minipainting

@straczynski.bsky.social what unit/faction is the Blackjack on the cover supposed to be from? Its going to be a while before I get a chance to read it, but I have a Blackjack mini ready to paint. Well, after I finish two Beginner box mechs, and the Death Kangaroos Commando. #battletechgame

Discovered yesterday that Jackie Darwin's WhipIts existed. I don't missed/forgot them being mentioned in one of the Fox Patrol stories by @swankmotron.com. Now I have to find a Wight mini to paint pink. @jparbiter.bsky.social, one of your creations, like Ace? #battletech #battletechstories

My House Arano Vindicator Why did I choose House Arano? 1. I really enjoyed the Battletech (2018) Game. 2. I don't care for the Capellan Confederation. 3. I already had the decals. 4. I like the Obscure Factions. #battletech #battletechgame #battletechpainting #toyphotography

My Ace Darwin's Pink Panther is done, mostly. Per @jparbiter.bsky.social , the PPC should have 'Boom' written on it. Im not free-handing that. I can update the PPC Graffiti and Base later. Upcoming Mechs: House Arano Vindicator Death Kangaroos Commando #battletech #battletechgame #battlemech

What I'm Currently Reading I'm working my way through Shrapnel #2. I just finished Daybreak on Shining Mountain by @travisheermann.bsky.social. Excellent story. Creative setting and background. I wish I had discovered his work much earlier. #battletech #battletechgame #battletechstories

Apparently another book I need to get for my Battletech collection from @michaelastackpole.bsky.social Helm Memory Corp posted on FB. Book is available on July 3rd from Amazon. Physical book too. I really like this Blackjack Art. #battletech #battletechgame #battletechstories #battletechbooks

My WIP Ace Darwin's Pink Panther. The main mech of his WhipIts Merc Co. I need to get a stronger Green for the 'head' Ferroglass. I may have it done by Wednesday, which would let me start on the Death Kangaroos Commando. #battletech #battletechgame #minipainting @jparbiter.bsky.social

Battletech Weekend Gone Bad I was finalizing my Green Mountain Boys Mechs. Grabbed the Primer Instead of Dullcoate. Currently stripping them back down. May do Kell Hounds. I am Working on Ace Darwin's Pink Panther and will start Danger Kangaroo Commando shortly. #battletechgame #battletech

Busy BattleTech Weekend I finished reading a Cache-Stapped Fox by @swankmotron.com and A Night With a Friend by @michaelastackpole.bsky.social in Shrapnel #25. Both are great first acts to their respective stories. I really like the cross-over between Fox Patrol and Death Kangaroos. #battletech

Busy BattleTech Weekend. Doing final touches on current Green Mountains and planning next additions. Was going to do some Band of the Damned Mechs. Changed my mind to House Arano after I put the wash on. I need to make it look less Kell Hounds. #battletech #battletechgame #battletechpainting

Just Finished a Night in the Woods by @michaelastackpole.bsky.social. Fun read and great continuation to the Death Kangaroos story. Now I just need to figure out the color scheme for the Firestarter. Also Finished Shrapnel #1. Great Collection. #battletech #battletechgame #battletechstories

The Whitworth for my Green Mountain Boys is done. The lights do tend to wash out the weathering. Will finish the decals for the other five tomorrow and then start planning on what Mechs to do next for the GMBs. #battletech #battletechgame #battletechpainting #battlemech #greenmoutainboys

So...I just finished reading 'A Night at the Lake' by @michaelastackpole.bsky.social Enjoyable story. Can't wait to read next one. I now want to do a Death Kangaroo Mech. I only have one Commando so I ordered an Iron Wind Metal Commando and old Kell Hounds decals. #battletech #battletechgame

First Mech of My Green Mountain Boys Merc Company. Still need to get the base done. I have five more which will hopefully be done by the weekend. #battletech #battletechminis #cgl #catalystgamelabs #battletechgame

@michaelastackpole.bsky.social Sooooo, what is the length of study at Military Academies like Nagelring, Military Academy of Somerset, Avalon Institute of Science (College of Military Science), etc? Also, are you going to ConGregate...hearing conflicting info.

What are you doing today? Working on replacing the power cord of this 1970s era Craftsman drill my father gave me. Insulation on the original cord had worn through. I have several battery drills, but a good corded drill is always a bonus. Hopefully successful #craftsmantools #repairnotreplace

Its almost time to plant my 'spring' crop in my nearly non-existant garden. One of these days i'll grow everything I need for my salsa in the garden. #garden #planting #gardenlife #homesteading #greengoblinfarm #salsa

Was Clan Wolverine really that bad? What was their true crime besides essentially telling Kerensky Jr to Bugger Off? What am I missing? Inquiring minds want to know Thoughts? #battletech #battletechlore #clanwolverine @michaelastackpole.bsky.social @swankmotron.com

Jawa Welder & Bystander This is one of the dozen or so Jawa themed pics I took last year. The Jawa head is a custom head from JDibbertBricks on Instagram. #legopic #toypic #jawa #minifig #legostarwars #funnypic

I love Fallout and Scooby-Do, so time for ANOTHER Mashup. I'm not fully happy with this pic. Unwanted reflections. My 'studio' is small and gets moved around so I struggle with consistency. ko-fi.com/firebrickzst... #fallout #fallouttvshow #scoobydoo #toyphotographer #legophotographer

Some days this hits me harder than other days. Love this quote. John Waters Quote: “Pride myself on the fact that my work has no socially redeeming value.” #johnwaters #classicquotes

Send In The Clowns... Part One... Notes: LEGO has made a lot of clowns over the years. This is one of them. I'm thinking I may take a few more pics of various Clowns in my collections. Originally Posted: 1/14/26 #lego #legoclown #clown #pie #legominifig #legophoto #toyphotography

First two Minifig Pics of 2026. Hoping to be at least semi-active with my LEGO Minifig photography in 2026. #lego #legophotograpy #photography #legostarwars #legospace

1st Kathil Uhlans The first of my Kathil Uhlans is done. Its the Vindicator from the Beginner Box. I have: Thunderbolt Locus Griffin Wolverine To finish before the 25th. I wanted to do a full set of minis for the Beginner Box sheets. #battletech #battletechgame #battletechpainting

The Great Hunt Begins. My goal is to read all of the FASA era (if not all) BattleTech Novels over the next few years. I need to start hunting for: The Sword and the Dagger by Ardath Mayhar I know its never been reissued and prices online can be insane. #battletech #battletechnovels

Fixed all the BattleTech Fox stories by @swankmotron.com. Excellent. Starting the Grey Death Trilogy by William H Keith, Jr. Then the Warrior Trilogy by @michaelastackpole.bsky.social. I've met Stackpole several times & talked Star Wars. Should have been talking Battletech #battletech

Latest Order is In. So, I've placed a couple of orders for decals with different vendors, and am always looking for a sale. My Fortress Miniatures and Games order arrived last night. Hopefully I can finish up my first round of First Kathil Uhlans this weekend. #battletech #battletechgame

Canopies are a B***ch The Wolverine is the first of my First Kathil Uhlans. I need to do the decals and Base. Im doing the Vindicator, Wolverine, and Griffin from the Beginner Boxes. I'll also do the Locus and Thunderbolt #battletech #battletechgame #battletechpainting

Finished the Blood of Kerensky Trilogy by @michaelastackpole.bsky.social. Excellent Trilogy. Love the Lore of BattleTech. Taking a detour to the Dark Age era before heading back to his Warrior Trilogy. I just started "Fox Tales" by @swankmotron.com. Good so Far.

Coffee... I love It... I was curious about Coffee and Battletech. Found this article, Found it interesting. A "Folgers" Private Security Force sounds like an interesting project. battletechfuture.com/2024/11/13/c... #battletech #battletechgame #coffeelover #cofffee

On the third novel (Lost Destiny) of the Blood of Kerensky Trilogy by @michaelastackpole.bsky.social. I really should have read it thirty plus years ago. Also working on some more BattleTech Minis. #battletech #battletechgame

My First Lance - BattleTech I'm working on ideas for my first Lance. Im wanting to build a Lance based on the 4 Mech Cards available in the various Beginners Boxes Vindicator Griffin Wolverine Thunderbolt Leaning towards St. Ives Compact for them, or Mercs #battletech #battletechgame

A D Whippets - Blackjack I decided to make my Blackjack a part of Ace Darwins Whippets. I'm waiting for decals to arrive and then will 'seal' this Mech. I think Im actually done. #battletech #battletechgame #acedarwinswhippets #battletechmech #blackjack

I just finished Lethal Heritage, Book One of the Blood of Kerensky Trilogy. By @michaelastackpole.bsky.social. Excellent Book. Kicking myself for waiting almost 35 years to read it. Love Stackpole's work. Read his work, especially "In Hero Years... . I'm Dead". #battletech #battletechnovels

Blackjack - Battletech Getting back into Battletech and miniature painting. Haven't painted a mini in several years. First attempt. I think im happy with it? Not sure what Faction. #battletech #battletechgame #miniaturepainting #blackjack #battletechblackjack
