Thanks for your patience.

Marketplace Update

 Hi All...I updated the Marketplace and have reduced the price on several mechs.  Check it out...maybe one of the kits you had your eye on has dropped in price.

This page hasn't been updated much as I tend to post more on Facebook at the Battlemech Models page and on the page for customers only.  If you have purchased a mech feel free to join the customer's private page.  Look for Large Scale Battletech Builders and fill out the member request form.  There you will get more updates than I post here and you will get early access to new mechs or re-releases. 

If you subscribe to my Patreon, you will get even earlier access to new kits and special offers on new mechs...like 20% off one of my re-releases.

The Stalker....sad face....

FYI, the Stalker is temporarily unavailable.  Some of the molds are really complex and they didn't last as long as I had hoped.  Two leg molds have ripped and are not turning out usable casts.  So, until I get those parts remolded the Stalker is being shelved for the moment.  

Sad face...

July Update

Good Day Everyone.   Here is a quick update of what is going on here at Battlemech Models. I have several commissions in the works including a Battlemaster and Assassin.  

I am taking pre-orders on the 1/60 (28mm) Stalker. It will run $175 plus shipping.  It is a big, heavy kit!



I have also finally finished the 11" Annihilator.  It will also run $175 plus shipping.





If you are interested, please e-mail me at using the link in the text.   Carry on Mechwarriors!

Battletech MWO Commando For Sale

I was experimenting with the 3D printer and some MWO models. Man, these designs are just so bulky. I printed it so it would be the same height as my Classic Commando but it's bulk makes it seem bigger. It's about 7" tall...or about 18cm.

I was going to eBay it but I figured I would give you guys first crack at it. The mech has magnets at the hips and shoulders but the legs are static. They can be removed for painting.

Let's treat this like a mystery box. If interested, just PM me with your bid. High bidder will be notified by Friday.

Another Overdue Update

Hey all...yet again a long time between updates. There has actually been a lot going on both good and bad. 

The "Beer Flu" (can't say the 'c' word) has really affected business.  Lots of order cancellations...and I can't say I blame people.  Schools have been closed so there has been a lot of home schooling.  Toilet paper can't be found in any store...not sure why people are hoarding toilet paper for a respiratory flu. 

Personally, I have been battling a deep funk...can't seem to shake it.

I invested in an AnyCubic Photon S 3D printer with a lot of support from a patron.  It worked for about 2 months before the cooling fan died, then the LCD died, now the touch screen has crapped out. Overall it has turned out to be a piece of shite.  I then invested in an Elegoo Mars and couldn't be happier. 

MECHS

Two commissions are in progress at this time.  There is a Stalker that is going to have elements from the MWO version and the Classic and the Stalker II.  Here are some pics....


I also made an Urbanmech.  Unfortunately, when I created a poll on the Facebook page to gauge potential buyers, only a couple people were interested so the Urbie is going into a box and in the closet. 

I tried 3D printing a Shilone Aerotech fighter but it came out closer to 1/100 scale.  No one, again, seemed interested so that is back in a box. 

Then I moved on to a vanity project...the Mackie.  I was 3D printing one based on the drawing below.  However, when I posted pictures of the progress of my print I was contacted by a 3D artist asking where I got the files.  When I told him he was able to show me that the 3D file I had was one he created that one time use type of thing and the person I commissioned to do it had no permission to share the file so yet another project shelved.  





OTHER WORK

I was commissioned to do some 3D prints for the Fallout table top game.  I printed an APC for a client and I also printed and molded/cast some kind of car based on a file the client sent.  I have a couple copies of the sedan if anyone is interested.  



RANDOM STUFF

With the 3D printer, I can finally have ships I always wanted.  I have made a couple Macross ships and one from a video game.  Nice. 



And since all the restaurants and stores were closed during our anniversary, I decided to give my wife a Corona...she wasn't amused. 


Finally, if anyone comes across this kit, let me know.  It is a Grail Kit of mine and I can't find it anywhere....

Carry On Mechwarriors...
