My reinforcements for #ClanJadeFalcon Gamma Galaxy are finished. I now have a trinary with infantry support.

The elementals are based and their bases have stripes. The front and back faces are all glossed and ready for applying 45 decals to finish things off.

The elementals didn't fit as nicely onto the bases as I'd hoped. I used one set from one base to make all of the indentations on all the bases and the paint also made their feet bigger, and their footprints smaller. Still, I got them in place.

Started on the stripes for the front face. The elementals have had an oil wash and the bases are speedpainted, shimmered, and edged. The frosty shimmer on the snow is a fine white mica flake mixed with matte varnish. I've applied it to the mech bases as well. It doesn't show too well in photos but in person it gives a nice shimmery sparkle that feels in scale.

Timber Wolf miniature on a hex base with black edges except the jade green front which has been masked with three pieces of tape to leave two narrow vertical stripes exposed.

Five stands of elementals. The minis are mounted on bottle caps and have been painted white with jade green trim. The recesses are shaded light greyish brown.

The stands have sculpted snow drifts with footprints and have been shaded light blue in the recesses. They are edged in black with one jade green face.

Mounted on their bases. Still need to do the decals and other details on the base edges. I can't find my masking tape so I need to get more to do the stripes on the front.

Fifteen battlemech minis in arctic camo with green trim mounted on snow bases edged in black with jade green front face. The 5 in the back are a bit darker and have the Clan Jade Falcon emblem between blue and silver stripes on the front face.

I wasn't happy with the green bits so I glazed and edge highlighted with jade green. Then glossed, decals, more gloss, and then did an oil wash, unfortunately I didn't put enough varnish over the decals and wrecked some of them that I had to replace.

The oil wash was with Van Dyke Brown which turned out nicer than the mix of Lamp Black and Burnt Umber I used for the first batch.

Ten in progress battle tech minis, and five finished ones. They are in winter camouflage with green trim. The completed minis are a bit more dull and greyish while the white parts of the in progress ones are a bit brighter.

Sculpted the snow drift bases for the second and third stars of my #ClanJadeFalcon trinary. The minis are all articulated and mostly cleaned up. I decided to get the bases sculpted before starting to paint the minis this time. Cleaning the clay off their feet didn't damage the paint last time, but it's better not to risk it.

10 hexagon bases with snow drifts sculpted in white air dry clay with foot prints impressed into them. They are on the top tray of a food dehydrator.

Next batch of #Battletech minis starting prep (torso articulation and cleaning up mould lines and defects) Two stars to join #ClanJadeFalcon Gamma Galaxy bringing my forces up to a Trinary.

My plan is to do a Turkina, Blood Asp, Timber Wolf, Summoner, Mad Dog, Hellbringer, Viper, Storm Crow, Cougar, and Fire Falcon

I'll also do a star of Elementals.
