I know this is waaaaaay outside of what I normally share, but this also is meant to be amongst peers and friends so why not share here. I’ll be visiting Antarctica for the next 12 days and part of that starts in Ushuaia, Argentina. So far it’s been amazing and everything I love about traveling. /1

So I may be quiet for a couple weeks as I go on an adventure but believe me the models will flow when I get back from quite literally the bottom of the world. Y’all keep doing great things and being great people!

Completed the Mongrel (Grendel) for Star Adder’s Gamma Galaxy. This one was an absolute blast to paint and really built up my confidence. This might be my best work yet honestly. Check out @ariesgamesandminis.bsky.social for your BT and other hobby needs. #battletech #mechwarrior #minipainting

Latest WIP (and really it’s done just needs final touches) of a Grendel I’m working on. I think I’m getting to a happy place with my black scheme too. Visit @ariesgamesandminis.bsky.social for all your hobby and BT needs. #battletech #mechwarrior #wip #minipainting #wargaming #tabletop

I still live! Work got a bit hectic and exhausting, but I finally got this Executioner done in Clan Star Adder Gamma Galaxy scheme. Still figuring out how to do black though. Looking for more BattleTech and hobby goods, go check out @ariesgamesandminis.bsky.social #battletech #mechwarrior

CP-11-A Cyclops "Sketch me up a Cyclops", he* said... "make it big n chonky", he said. To which all I can say is.. "OKEY DOKEY!" $50 dollar speed sketch. More slots available for raising some funds for a concert, and general bill paying. ko-fi.com/bishopsbeerf... www.patreon.com/c/BishopStei...

The Hunchback has always been a favorite of mine in the IS. It’s the literal “glass cannon” of mechs. Painted in 9th Sian Dragoons scheme Visit @ariesgamesandminis.bsky.social for all of your BattleTech and other hobby needs. #battletech #mechwarrior #minipainting #mech #tabletop #gaming

This is Franklin Sakamoto's Hatamoto-chi, painted in Somerset Strikers scheme as it appeared in the Battletech Animated Series. This is definitely my favourite of the Strikers! #nerdlings #paintingminiatures #battletech

No new minis to post lately but throwback to just before Christmas when I painted my Taurian Velites for #Battletech

Latest order from Aries Games and Miniatures. Honestly I couldn’t be happier with the speed that they get their product to me, and always in great condition. For all your BattleTech and other hobby needs, look no further than @ariesgamesandminis.bsky.social #battletech #mechwarrior #tabletop

Bottle Caps are DONE - more 9th Sian Dragoons, this time almost totally washes and Contrast Paints. Contrast feels like MORE work than layering 2 thin coats on, etc. Always takes me more time to make Contrast Paint NOT look like 💩! Amirite? Any Contrast Paint lovers out there painting #Battletech?

Updated WIP. The Hunchback is one of my all time favorites in the universe so I’m taking a bit longer to get it right. Do you have a favorite? Do you spend a little more time when painting it? Visit @ariesgamesandminis.bsky.social for all your BattleTech and other hobby needs. #battletech #mech

Another Battletech boy in white, this time a Guillotine.

"The Age of the Capellan Confederation is over... the time of the Catpellan Confederation... has come." We just hit the latest channel goal. And many will suffer. But it is the will of the audience. And their will be done! #Battletech #SunTzuMeow

Back to some #battletech again, just to keep things from getting to repetitive! This time a much maligned HCT-3F Hatchetman. Honestly this wasn’t the most fun to paint. I struggled applying my scheme to it. Having said that it’s fine! #nerdlings #wargaming
