I dug out my Max Factory 1/72 Dougram that I just never got around to painting. Must be around 15 years old at this point. It's about the size of a HG gundam. Disassembled and cleaned it. I'll put it on a hex base and in case I need a Shadow Hawk for 1/72 scale Battletech.

I found this 1/72 Blockhead from Dougram in a thrift store, badly built. It's the newer Max Factory kit. Nubs everywhere, joints loose, missing the gun. Rebuilt it as a Battletech WVR-7K Wolverine with scratch built weapons. Decals and weathering next.

I'm looking at manicure tools and materials and I'm starting to wonder if I'm paying hobby tax for UV putty.

Documenting the contents of the 1/144 Dougram kits that were released as Battledroids, the precursor to Battletech. This is the Blizzard Gunner/ Scorpion. Twentieth-Century Imports used the original Japanese packaging and added the Battledroids stats the back of the box.

It was later repackaged with the Dougram JAKT type/Shadow Hawk and released as a set under the Battletech brand and packaging.

@NaClKnight@c.im Jenner duels might work, but I was thinking of limiting the speed of mechs to 6/9 max so more shots hit and we can finish the game in 3-5 turns.

How would you play a short 1 hour+ game of classic Battletech? I was thinking a single medium mech of the most explody low armor variants. Like the Vindicator 1AA or Shadow Hawk 2D. (Is there a list of firecracker mechs like these?) Alternatively, slower Clan mediums, which have lots of firepower but not enough armor to absorb the punishment. #battletech

@renegademinis@dice.camp @roofuskit@mstdn.social I think the craft part of the hobby comes and goes. In the 00s I remember a push for prepainted miniatures that coincided with D&D 4th Ed. And the pandemic brought back painting with a resurgence of Warhammer to a lot of mainstream hobby spaces. These are all trends, nothing stays for long.

Do Quad mechs have any different game mechanics in Alpha Strike? #battletech #alphaStrike
