Beginner Set casting The Beginner Set mechs are a great way to practice new techniques. Here, I was experimenting with a layering technique. For the red, there are 6-8 layers of paint, 5 for the green and blue, and 4 for the black. This mini took a really long time to paint (comparable to the Skye Jaegers scheme). Anyway, scheme and markings are for the Lyran Alliance's 4th Skye Rangers. This mini appears on the inner box of the Classic Battletech Introductory Box Set. This mini appears on page 15 of the Painting and Tactics Guide from the Classic Battletech Introductory Box Set. This mini appears on the box of the Support Lance Pack (2007). STATUS: Completed 9/2004. |
