Scott, you big tease

Here is Scott's latest teaser shot from his bench. Any guesses on what these may be?

Geert's Mad Cat

Good Day all! Sorry about the lack of updates...been a tad busy. I will make up for that this weekend. Today I have a build-up diary from Geert. This is his Mad Cat from a while back. It may be in a foreign language, but the pics are great. And, you can do like I did and plug the posts into a translator and get the general idea of the build. Here it is.... Thanks Geert!!!!

Mech Assault Size Charts

Thanks to Dan, one of our newest members, who submitted these pics from the Mech Assautlt games for X-box. I will say that mech sizes and scales have been a long debated topic in our world of kit making. There are countless size references in the literature...and now we have another. 



Great Pics Dan!!!

Templar

Here is the latest kit I am working. This is the 85 ton Templar from TRO 3067. It is described as a mech that moves like a heavy mech but fights like an assault mech. I have to work on the weapon's pods, but all in all it is really close to being done. I have blended the features I like on the mini with Mechwarrior version. It will stand about 8 or so inches tall when done. Thoughts?

Recruiting Members

Just a reminder, we are always looking for people to join the Battlemech Club. You can join as a builder, kit creator, Club contributor, or just a fan. Also, it takes a lot of money to create and cast these kits. I can see why Armorcast had a hard time. LOL! If you are interested in seeing more kits, we welcome donation. All donators qualify for first shot at new mechs off the assembly line...at a discount. Contact me to donate. What little extra we make off the kits is going right back into the club. Currently, we have not even broken even on the costs of rubber for the molds on the Puma. I know in many parts of the world, the economy just stinks, but I remind you that we are doing all of this out of our own pockets. Any help would be welcome. If finacial support is not possible, we gladly accept "scraps." If you have extra stuff around, be it from old navy kits, railroad kits, or especially armor and military kits we would love to give it a home. Don't throw away that extra piece or that broken kit...send it to us! We would love to help keep that stuff out of a landfill and on our mechs! Contact me if interested.
