New Prototype Print Closeups

Haha, it does present a very nice canvas.

Anthony Scroggins

Just showed my fiance' the prototypes. She wants a Hoplite to paint up like a frog, or like Mucus from the current Power Rangers.

Matthew Morris

They should be a separate rotatable part that is friction fit, but we've yet to see the final results on that.

Anthony Scroggins

Yeah much better fit on the Goliath.

Anthony Scroggins

All the ‘Mechs are beautiful - as usual you and your team have knocked it out of the park, Anthony! However, it’s that Schrek carrier that’s got me excited! Came to Battletech for the giant robots, but seeing combat vehicles getting redesigns has me so stoked. By chance, do you know if there are plans to allow the turrets to rotate, or if the turrets on the models will be separate parts that could be removed and magnetized?

I'm in love with the Sagittaire

From what I saw of the test print present at KerenskyCon, the Goliath should have a better fit on the hex base, with at least 3 points of contact and less of the feet dangling off the edge

Malintus

Loving the firestarter. As far as the hoplite, i would move the autocannon 10 further back along the torso, it looks like the damn thing will break off if mishandled (or in kayfabe, fired)

James Bixby

Wow!!! I can't wait to send money CGLs way for these!

William B Teter

What was your first?

Aaron Thurston

I'm really digging the Rifleman IIC now, especially seeing the prototype. I will definitely use the peg when I get my Scorpion. That looks to precarious for me. Does the Goliath fit on a base fine?

Aaron Thurston

"Wanted to pick a decent tonnage spread, fighting the urge to spam assaults and heavies haha." - Keep fighting that urge. I for one don't care for Assaults and am just 'okay' with Heavies. I'm all about the Lights and Mediums. (comes from playing Classic back in the day when Assaults just slowed the game down)

Not my first original mech to become a mini, but definitely my favorite.

Anthony Scroggins

A life's ambition realised in the Regent?

James Abbot-Cole

Dude. Loving that Hoplite so much!

Dan

If I recall right, at some point you asked about top view renders and I'd have totally forgotten :)

Anthony Scroggins

The number of fists a Banshee possesses is ALWAYS two, and that number is always greater than or equal to the number of heavy guns. There. Are. No. Exceptions. Too many guns or too few fists means it's unworthy of the name Banshee. Example: the BNC-3S Aweshopper.

Terence Harris

Drawing MegaMek sprites. Though buying everything also helps

Alex F

What job is that? Knowing for sure you'll buy everything? :D

Anthony Scroggins

Don't like the Banshee sculpt overall, or more just that it's another 3S?

Anthony Scroggins

In the long term it's almost certain that things will move towards that. Either PoD all the time, or batch printing that goes into retail packaging. As it is now though PoD printing services still charge too much for acceptable quality.

Anthony Scroggins

Thanks for sharing these. It'll make my job a lot easier

Alex F

I really want that Sagittaire and Regent, really wish there was a way to get them without legitimizing the cantcallitabanshee that's already slated to be in the ELH box. Also, the background of all these shots really makes me want a mousepad or playmat of Unseen Moon II. :)

Terence Harris

Really wish I could order mine "printed" like these. The amount of time I would save in cleaning the mini up would make it worth it alone, to say nothing of the extra sharpness over the mass production plastic.
