Carronade BattleMech

Carronade BattleMech — My latest attempt to establish Battletech miniatures firmly on the 'miniature painting map' is a Carronade, one of the most recent miniatures from Iron Wind Metals.

The Carronade is painted in the canon scheme of the Oriente Hussars of the free World League. I tried some new twists on the weathering, experimenting with more of a stippling technique in places. While I think the results are promising, I still have a long way to go … But, this is one of the cahllenges I enjoy most - how to transfer techniques from larger scales to the much smaller scale of Battletech miniatures.

As always, the miniature is 6mm/1:285 scale.

  Thanks, Matt :) Well, there is a lot of untapped potential in Battletech miniatures in my opinion. I would love to see one painted by you ... ;)
