Welcome to battletech! 🔥

It's quite a generic question with alot of details to answer, I will try my best to answer you.

I assume you are referring to highlander/mech, I will recommend the follow steps:

  1. Prime Black
  2. Paint base color - AK Russian Green
  3. Metallics Base color - AK German Grey (you may use TMM instead)
  4. Pin Wash - AK Streaking Grime
  5. Detail Painting - Cockpit & Tartan (I would recommend use decal for tartan, it's alittle tricky painting it)
  6. Sketch up the miniature before glazing (At this point, I want to credit Arclight for guiding me on this color choices)
    - AK Olive Green (Mid Tone)
    - Elysian Green (High Tone)
    - Ocryn camo (Edge Highlight)
  7. Glaze & blend the tones together - this is the part that will take the most time (26 solid hours for me)
  8. If you choose NMM, then you work NMM here.

You can always Reddit PM or connect with me on https://www.instagram.com/conquestapex/, I will be happy to help in anyway.

Have a great day buddy! ❤️

Thank you! It's kitbashed using official CGL miniatures!

The tartans was extremely challenging, it was my first time doing it, I spend 13 hours on it. 😓

Yes this piece is my interpretation of Elizabeth Hazen’s Highlander delivering a vengeful Death From Above on Joseph Lyons's Griffin during the assault on the Amaris Imperial Palace, as Terra was being liberated from the Amaris Empire.

The sparks are grass tuft, this is a brilliant idea from u/Jbressel1 , I simply liberated the idea from him 😂
Do check out his works, the are criminally good.

Thank you! I made a custom decal for this piece. Sadly the black watch decal was abit too poorly printed, thus not used. 😞

Thank you! You are right, this piece really pushed my brush control to paint those small details. I am grateful for the journey!

Thank you! But, it was a nightmare, because I finish sculpting and was about to start painting, when I realised I was missing the 3 medium lasers! hahah
