2nd casting This Griffin is painted in a Lyran Regulars scheme. The scheme itself isn't from a book, rather it's my artist's conception of how I think some Steiner mechs should look. There's blue, gray, and sharp detailing; almost a little flashy. A perfect scheme for the core of the Lyran military. STATUS: Part of Dave's collection, completed Jan. 2002. |

Original casting This mini is complete, unlike the last one I did. The Roundfacer had a jump pack as optional equipment, and thus it is not included with this mini. This Griffin is painted in a three tone camo Lyran scheme, with Lyran Regulars markings. STATUS: Sold, 7/2001. |

Original casting Here is an original casting Griffin (circa 1985). It's a lot bigger than the newer casting and both are permanently OOP. This one was missing some parts, so I had to do some restoration on the gun and backpack. [Turns out, the original did not HAVE a backpack]. Anyway, it's painted in an airbrush scheme with metallic detailing and Davion Brigade of Guards markings. STATUS: Sold, 11/2000. |

|
"The Ranger" 2nd casting Here is a Griffin in a field camo pattern with Lyran Alliance markings. The LA logo makes a striking contrast to the green-on-green camo. STATUS: This mech sold, 03/2000. |

"Arcturan Guardsman" 2nd casting This paint job was inspired by the Arcturan Guards page in the Battletech Camo Specs manual. This mini has more detail than in the picture, including Arcturan Guards logo on the right shoulder, House Steiner logo on the right leg, and unit numbering. The hex base has broken alpine woodland terrain, since the AG units frequently fight in mountainous conditions. This was one of my early airbrush paint jobs. STATUS: Sold, July 1999. |

"Lyran House Regular Recon 2E" 2nd casting This Griffin is painted in Lyran Commonwealth house regular colors, and is part of a lance with a Thunderbolt, Axeman and Flea. It's one of my earlier paint jobs. STATUS: Completed, 1993. |
