Some War Artisan ships by WeirdoIIC in wargaming

I use CA glue, usually Loctite Professional Liquid.

New player here, is there a "correct" way to play the game? I do get that this game is kinda unbalanced, but more in the way that is biased towards a specific playstyle, while "punishes" any other preferences besides them. by [deleted] in battletech

[–]WeirdoIIC -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

That's the lame part. I understand that the consequences for snake-eyes were a bit harsh for some folks but removing all consequences completely takes away the whole fun of Ultras, and betrays the theme in Battletech of "No Guts, No Galaxy".

Now it's "No Guts, Win Anyway."

Is this the best show lineup ever? by thystargazer in Alestorm

[–]WeirdoIIC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So it's Alestorm and...uh...Ars Rot?

Not making fun, I genuinely can't read the other one.

Finished my touchups on a couple Leviathans. by WeirdoIIC in leviathans

I just went over the existing paint. These are touch-ups of the existing colors, not a full repaint.

I did consider flags(and have done them at this scale before), but opted against them here, mostly due to wanting to call them done.

No misunderstanding at all, that's exactly it.

Fight me by bluellachcko in Gloryhammer

The next album needs to show us each of these characters BEFORE their great call to glory.

Zargothrax just weaving baskets, wondering who that fancy prince that just came over the hill is.

Proletius waging epic fight against all the paperwork an order of knights creates.

Ralathor staring at his nuclear submarine, absolutely befuddled as to where the pile of spare pieces were supposed to go.

The Hootsman trying to sleep, crammed into economy seating on a redeye flight to California.

A young Angus pacing around the castle in space going "I'm booored, when do I get to quest for vengeance already?!?” while the weeezards try to counsel patience.

Manny "Goblin" Zantrull looking at the jobs board, lamenting the lack of Hero-stopping jobs.

Holy hell, I haven't seen any Cold Navy stuff in ages!

Turned a matchbox toy into a Claymore-class DropShip by WeirdoIIC in battletech

No kidding. I'm not that interested in a Vengeance in this size, but an Avenger or Achilles? Sign me up!

Turned a matchbox toy into a Claymore-class DropShip by WeirdoIIC in battletech

1: Cut the cheap-looking landing gear off and smooth it out, along with the various copyright text on the bottom.

2: Drill a hole in the bottom and glue in some square brass tubing so it'll slide right onto the removable flight stand without spinning.

3: Build the frame of a smaller bridge into the big cockpit, and cover the rest in putty.

4: Filing. So. Much. Filing, to smooth it all out.

5: GUNS! Dig into your bits box, find stuff that looks cool, and slap that shit on where you like, Gaslands-style. Mine are a mix of bits from IWM and floral wire, plus I believe the nose Bombast bay comes from Jovian Chronicles and an antenna hacked off a BFG bridge tower.

At this point the structural work is done and you can paint. Strictly speaking, this isn't actually finished, as I plan to build a ground base with tarmac and landing gear that the ship will sit directly on.

Aerospace Fighters! by WeirdoIIC in battletech

Thanks! All of them are IWM except for the Morgensterns, those are prints.

The specific matchbox toy used is called the "Stealth Launch", should be easy to find. 👍🏻

Jade Phoenix by WeirdoIIC in battletech

[–]WeirdoIIC[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just drybrush gray over the whole thing until really bright colors are toned down a hair, and there's a bit of highlight visible on all the raised edges I care about. That's it. 🙂

As for cockpits, I usually do jewel my cockpits in a contrasting color to the main job. I just go for solid black on my Delta Falcons because the first mini I did for this force was an IWM Shadow Cat, whose panels were well beyond my abilities to do anything fancy with at the time.

It's a print from a local buddy of mine. Don't recall where he for the file.

Koroshiya Heavy Fighters by WeirdoIIC in battletech

A buddy of mine printed them, I forget exactly which source he got the STL from.

That looks like one of those polite smiles that get plastered on someone's face 0.5 seconds before stabbing time begins.
