Additionally I tried to make the miniature more dynamic by repositioning the legs into a walking pose.

My latest addition to the Iron Wind Metals gallery is the Panther BattleMech – arguably the most common Light Mech of the Draconis Combine. This is probably the first miniature I have painted primarily with the gaming table in mind … I am not yet sure if there will be a sequel to this experience … time will tell I guess

An update for the Iron Wind Metals gallery: the Longshot BattleMech. I started taking lots of WiP pictures and actually remembered to do this (periodically …) during the whole painting process. I have wriiten a few words to accompany the pictures and have created a little project log which has been added to the articles section.
