Workbench Update 0209
On February 09, 2009 in Workbench
Time to let you have another glimpse at my workbench.
Mackie BattleMech – work in progress
As you can see two BattleMechs are nearing completion – the Liberator and the Mackie. No changes on the Liberator since update 0109, but I am busy working on the Mackie. Still a lot of work left, but is almost time for the best part – the fine detail work. Adding wear and tear to the paint, scratches, numbers, signs, warning stripes, … all the little details which make the miniature come alive.
The Mackie is truly a unique miniature. This cast was released by a fan organisation – MechForce UK – a few years back and while it is lacking the finesse of an industry produced sculpt it has a lot of character in my opinion. Actually the overall clumsiness and roughness of the miniature fits well with its role in the BattleTech universe. Fluff-wise the Mackie is a venerable design, it was the first BattleMech ever produced.

Workbench Update 0109
On January 12, 2009 in Workbench
What I want to do more often is let you take a glimpse at my workbench or one of my current projects. I do believe this is a good way to get some feedback for my current work and hopefully also helps me to finish certain projects more dutifully instead of always starting new miniatures …
Liberator BattleMech – work in progress
For my first workbench update in 2009 I let you take a peak at an almost finished projects – the Liberator BattleMech. The Liberator is a kitbash by AvaMangoTwo and I am painting this miniature for him. As you can see the miniature is almost finished, just some small details left to do. The plan is to add more markings and signs, especially to the back. Also some details need some cleaning up and the base will be painted. There will be another Mech painted in this scheme – a Mackie BattleMech – rounding out a formidable Heavy Lance consisting of Ventilator, Alliance, Liberator and Mackie.
