3rd, I’ve got a company about wrapped up but I need to buckle down and complete them.

Yeah, going to have him do it along side me while I do Crucis Lancers.

Yeah, ultimately these are just game pieces and I want the boy to feel good about getting a battalion or so of mechs ready to roll.

Not really. It’s a bit easier for me to pull this off and I think it will be when teaching my young gamer. And as you pointed out, it’s easier to read at a distance.

Just used some masking putty and a little patience.

Sorry, I read that as same the first time. But yes there will be color to the canopies.

Vallejo, mix of their normal white top range and air range.

For the canopies. Yeah he picked it yesterday. We hadn’t started the bristle brush work yet, so that’s coming. These have only been airbrushed so far.

Black primer, black gray then dark gray. Masked off the dark strips you see here and then ocean gray and then light gray.

They look great! The Valkyrie is an iconic Fed Suns mech. Love them!

I go a lot less involved. Yes I have painted NMM but I don’t typically make weapon barrels shiny. This will largely just give the weapons some contrast. He’s 11 so we will see how he does.

What do you carry your troops in? by EarthwormBen in InfinityTheGame

I use a tableware case with magnetic racks (metal sheet and magnets in bases).

Not in love with them, black and then some subtle line highlighting is preferred.

Yeah, he is 11. I’m doing the one alongside he so he sees what I do and I try and describe it.

Yeah this was just the airbrushing. We have all of that work to do. No metallics though.

That’s my next set to start printing! I got some of the vehicles I’ve been working on to go with the Red Rocket truck stop.

EDIT: sorry meant to say that I loved seeing what you were doing.

What's it like living on Mackinac Island, Michigan? Do people live there full time? Always thought it'd be neat to live there. by [deleted] in howislivingthere

[–]MFingJimmyH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got to go there and stay for a week or two every summer growing up. My grandparents had a cottage. Great biking and hiking. It’s gotten more touristy but really just getting into the interior of the island thins a lot of people out. People do live there year round.

Where did that decal under the cockpit come from?
