You can see more WIP and other models at http://reversedisabled.blogspot.co.uk/

It's great to see these finished after such a long time span. They are going to look great as a lance next to my ELH lance.

First is the 1/60 scale Centurion he's the most advanced of my builds numerous small parts and joints as well as different variant options go into making this model look as close to the MWO original as possible. It was a pleasure to paint I think he really suits the Guards scheme. The pose was at ease stance i felt this looked the best. He has the same magnetics in the barrels as the PGI model to allow quick changes.

Scale: 1/60
Size: 17cm tall (to main mass)
Articulation free: Elbows, shoulders, waist
Articulation glued: Ankles, Knees, Hips

Following on is the MWO 1/60 scale Dragon. Here he is shown with a UAC5 barrel this can be swapped for the AC barrel. This model needed more prep than the centurion as the printing process wasn't as good. I did this and based coated it before putting it aside so I could paint the centurion and him as the same time. I'm most please with the dragons mouth. I painted something similar on the PGI version but for there's I stuck to their artwork. On mine I had more free rain and added more shading and an outline. I chose a striding stance to show off how much articulation you can get with my models and how stable they are.

And here we have the full guards lance ready to deploy;

Thoughts;
- I'm still searching for that perfect 3D printing process I still want to move to plastic injection.
- I wish I hadn't made a custom mix blue for these guys its a grey blue and boy was it a pita mixing it to match. But there isnt many off the self grey shades.
- I'm really pleased with the guards scheme it pops nicely without over whelming the details and to me screams Battletech!!
- Whats next, not sure I have some old armorcast models in boxes maybe paint them in the style of the B'tech cartoon.

Outstanding work Almeras! (Like the fitting baby blue interpretation of the mary sue faction davionistas! ;p)

Is there a chance you will be doing a Griffin or a Stormcrow someday? I would love to get one of those for my desk.

[Sean Lang]

These would look amazing posing in my office!

[Cattra Kell]

[Almeras]

Thanks for the comments. I was hoping to talk russ into some plastic injection kits for freebie give aways (gamescons goodies etc). I also have 2 old armorcast model needing to be painted for over a year I'd like to get them done (unpainted tis a sin!)

I'd like to make a Thor next but i think Russ wants the HBK I think I need to send him a reminder email to decide.

[Fuzzbox]

The Summoner is an awesome looking 'Mech, looking forward to see a model made with your skills.

And we can alwaysh wish we can one day buy them.
