I love the huge canvas of the King Crab's carapace. If you don't paint a big mural on it, then you're probably doing it wrong.

The Warhammer is definitely in my top 10.

I have SO MANY, but I keep coming back to my first true love, the humble Marauder.

And its cousins.

It's Mech Advent 2025 Day 4, and today's machine is...the Blood Asp! This is the I-configuration from the Black Remnant pack, painted in House Davion's Dawn Guard colors. #MechAdvent2025 #BattleTech

I haven't used orange as a primary color yet, but here's a big bunch of 'Mechs that use it as an accent.

Was it this one?

February vs. December. This is absolutely bonkers. We're not even talking particularly great RAM here!

Today is the last day to commission me for a guaranteed Christmas delivery! DM for details!

Mech Advent Day 3: Warhammer. Joining Max Liao, this is meant to be Katrina Steiner, Archon of the Lyran Commonwealth. This is Iron Wind Metals' pewter model, as you might be able to tell from the crisp details. This was my first real attempt at white; came out well! #MechAdvent2025 #BattleTech

Behold, an Ultramarine!

What? It's blue with red viewports and yellow accents.
December 3, 2025 at 5:03 PM
HA HA HA of course.

Mech Advent 2025 Day 2: Marauder II (Bounty Hunter variant). This was a lot of fun to paint! I need to go back and redo the rest of the various 'Mechs the Bounty Hunters have piloted in this same scheme at some point. #BattleTech #MechAdvent2025

Welcome to the 'Mech Advent Calendar for 2025! Through the month of December I'll be sharing some of my favorite paintjobs from the past year. Let's start with my favorite scheme of the 3025-era Successor Lords: Maximillian Liao's MAD-2R Marauder. #BattleTech #MechAdvent2026

Trebuchet

Given the nature of linear time, these slots are only open until this coming Wednesday. I need to make rent, you need some fantastic painted BattleMechs.

That's regular ol' acrylic paint! Like this one, it's just careful layering.
November 29, 2025 at 11:31 PM
Not sure if it's your thing, but I've been doing a lot of painting on little giant robots lately.
November 29, 2025 at 11:21 PM
Some practice shots. #BattleTech

Thanks for the space, Doug! I custom-paint BattleTech miniatures at very reasonable rates. I could be convinced to do pieces for other games, too. Right now I've got a couple slots open for rush Christmas jobs! DMs are open, quotes are free, and I'm always willing to work to a budget.

Good morning! Have the *very first* BattleMech, COL Kincaid's own MSK-5S Mackie, upgraded to modern standards and updated with ilClan insignia - 700 years old and still deadly. #BattleTech
November 29, 2025 at 12:41 PM
Maybe it's to confuse other creatures.
November 28, 2025 at 5:46 PM
The Dola is finished! This is not a canon BattleTech scheme, instead based on a mecha from Muv-Luv. The Nepalese flag was a special request which I was happy to include. #BattleTech

The Black Widow. The First Lady of Death. MechWarrior. Mercenary. Khan.

Natasha Kerensky in her (genuinely) iconic WHM-6R Warhammer, and some older pics from her return to Clan Wolf in her custom Dire Wolf "Widowmaker."
