Finished model. Added highlights (battle damage paint wear-through) to the edges of panels; weapons glow to the rotary autocannon and the lasers, and cockpit instrument glow (basic- those windows are too small for me to do anything more exciting; I just don't have the manual dexterity for it).
My improvement is slow, but I can zoom this image to larger than life size and not wince at all the mistakes (just one or two)!
Exceedingly proud of the galactic effect I managed on this Gargoyle E. Also, I had a lot of fun doing it. #battletech #miniaturePainting #minipainting

If you flip a dice tray inside out it makes a decent hill for #alphastrike. Ideally it would be a bit shorter and a more natural colour. A way of securing the corners either way (magnets instead of snaps) would allow for two different colours from each hill.
Maybe augment with toppers for more variety (say, grey and brown, then green, white, and tan toppers.)
Also magnets to secure modules together and some supporting shapes like half hexes.

First time Trying out my Aerospace Fighters with my #clanjadefalcon Gamma Galaxy forces against the #FreeWorldsLeague's Tamarind Regulars. It didn't go well.
We each had a +1 BI initiative bonus, RCN for the Falcons, MHQ4 for the FWL.
The fighters were shot down on turn 1 but took out the Battlemaster with the master computer for the enemy C3 network. So we each only get that first turn to play with our respective gimmicks and the FWL loose their initiative bonus. Not that it mattered as the Falcons won initiative by a wide margin each turn, then rolled really badly to hit.
The remaining two turns were me trying to pick off elements of the FWL heavy tank column without letting it focus fire on me and trying to land some NARC beacons to boost damage for my missile heavy force. The dice just were not in my favour tonight though.

Ahem...*taps mic*
This here be my beige.party #Introduction
I'm a Gen X (1967) American who works in security for a living. I feel fortunate to have grown up through the 70s, 80s, and the 90s. I kinda look at that as the Yahtzee! of pop culture. What a time to be a nerd!
Music defines me. I don't have just a soundtrack to my life, I have a boxed set, including rare demos and unreleased live recordings. Wanna get to know me? Hang around for my music posts.
A song that's...me?
I am ADHD, and have Dysthymia to boot. I live an unmedicated life, and am kind of a mess as a result. I'm not anti-medication, it's just that I can't seem to stay on the wagon. If you follow me, and I don't immediately follow you back, don't take it personal. I'm trying to deal with over stimulation.
Politically...jeebus. To make it easy, I'm a Democratic Socialist. Honestly, I hate trying to define myself.
What I am (consider the following "AF"): Pro-choice, Pro trans rights, as well as a firm believer that women can do whatever the blue hell they want. I'm pro-sexwork, and pro pineapple on pizza (DO NOT COME AT ME ON THAT ONE).
I DO NOT. LIKE. NAZIS.
If you are a nazi, I do not like you. My great uncle put bushels of you in the ground in WW II. Follow Hitler's example and suck on the end of a loaded Luger.
I'm religious, and by that, I shall refer to a quote attributed to Gandhi: "I consider him religious who recognizes the suffering of others." I am a bit all over the place, and do not blindly follow any specific dogma. I have my thing. It's not everybody's thing, but that's okay. Everybody else has their thing. It may not necessarily be my thing, but that's okay. Whatever your thing is, may it bring you comfort and peace of mind. Just don't be a wanker.
I am very pro Fediverse, and pro FOSS. Technology can be very cool and wondrous, if we choose to make it that way. I'm a Linux user, and have shed all but two mainstream social media platforms. I am attempting to de-google my life. I am VERY anti-AI.
Be kind. Always.
Lord, but I did ramble a one. That's ADHD for ya, folks: LOADS of bonus content!

Yeah, that new hot end did the trick. Solid 18 hour print. I could see a physical tune-up, tighten belts, etc, but otherwise we're back in bidness.
