Old Timber Wolf mini for scale.

Banana for scale.

Had to make some small sliver wedges to keep some joints in place, the shoulders especially.

Base white krylon ontop of grey enamel primer.
Raw print test fit.
Peeling scaffolding from the print.
More scaffolding being removed.

Timber Wolf? Ahem, don’t you mean Mad Cat? ;)

That sounds like inner nonsense.

MFW I see a Battletech post on the front page

Awww, look at the little Scout Mech!

Found the Lyran!

"The mere sight of an Atlas makes even the most experienced mech pilots break out in hives" so thanks, now i need ointment
fnoigy
The quote comes from the Mechwarrior 4 manual, by the way
thundercactus
No matter how big your mech is, it has the same amount of head armor as any other ;)
RustyMcKraken
Does rolling 2 1's mean head shot & cockpit? It's been 30 years since I played Battle Tech.
thundercactus
12 is headshot, 2 was CT+crit, it's also been many years for me lol

Always nice to see Battletech on front page.

Who loves the Atlas?
6Xero9
But not as much as the King Crab. :)
barnwolf
OMG THAT IS AWESOME!
AstartesLibrarius
No, it's quite clearly an Atlas. The Awesome is a different assault mech entirely- https://www.sarna.net/wiki/Awesome

Fine... have your upvote.

(The preceding reply was a joke, btw)
TheRicM
@OP This is soooo awesome! +1 for OC always
GhostBear3067
No, it is an Atlas. Sorry, low hanging fruit, I had to take it. I will see myself out.
parabolic000
*heavy breathing in Armorcast* But shit, remember those old 1/60 resin Atlases, Mad Dogs, and Timber Wolves?
MickeyTheHound
This is cool. I just started playing Battletech last night. It seems a bit big to fit on the game table though.
Toro1d
That's the Atlas in a nutshell! =P
wormfood
Is battletech a wargame or an RPG? I loved MechWarrior as a kid and I've been curious
MickeyTheHound
it is a wargame but I think you can do campaigns where you keep and upgrade stuff from mission to mission.
GoblinShaper
It can be both. It kinda is a wargame and there is material that aids in roleplay between the wargaming bits. But I've only watched some.
BautaStein
There is a roleplaying system and the world is pretty rich, imagine Game of Thrones in Space and the magic is technology.
SecondSince
Also, Space AT&T XD
BautaStein
The TT can be super detailed with tracking single components or simpler to allow for more units in a timely manner
Toro1d
Make it as powerful as possible, as impenetrable as possible, and as ugly as possible; so that fear itself shall be our ally.
KarmaticEquation
They say Kerensky himself came up with the idea.
GadenKerensky
Thank you, thank you. /s
GadenKerensky
Is that a fucking AC/20 AND Gauss Rifle? The fuck is this build? That's horrifying.
kingrd
Better than an Ultra AC/20
tiahx
And seemingly no missile weaponry too... that's not AS7-D then, 7-D has only one ballistic slot, which is AC/20.
Logion567
Hardpoints are only an Video Game thing. On the Tablt Top anything can go anywhere (except heavy Gauss, that can only be torso mounted)
amomentarylapseofreason
Gauss / PPC I guess, it's not a stock load out and ac/20/gauss won't fit even with XL engine
DarkAviator
As I couldn't find this configuration in canon variants, here's a custom version: https://mwo.nav-alpha.com/mechlab?b=c87be783_CUSTOM
DarkAviator
Note: MWO uses zero weight CASE (that's the unsed 0.5t) and the site used can't add lower arm and hand actuators for custom creations.
GadenKerensky
MegaMekLab should be able to do it.
theonetheycallmonk
With enough LosTech anything is possible.
SilentShift
Don't forget to sprinkle in some "refurbished" clan tech, though I guess that's more for the mercs
TheDudeanator
Is that truly the size difference?
KarmaticEquation
Truly
Toro1d
No, as hilarious as that might be. The Atlas is a 100-ton mech, the Timberwolf is a 75-ton mech.
GadenKerensky
Lore wise they're about the same height, around 12m.
Durahl
It kinda drives me NUTS for you not to be making use of red LEDs in the eyes despite having so much real estate to make it happen ? Any ¹
Durahl
details on the scale of the model and the tech used to 3D print it? Like the 3D Printer and the used Nozzle and Layer height? ?
KarmaticEquation
My pal did the printing. I did the painting. I knew the answers to your questions at one time, I don’t anymore.
FelixG
Can you ask your pal for the link to the file?
greygriffin
Did you have to peel off any armor to squeeze that gauss rifle in?
KarmaticEquation
Yea and a few heat sinks
KolliFlaur
I feel so much nostalgia... I miss my bushwhacker in MW3
Zakcl
I loved mechwarrior 3. The 5 had such potential and ruined it with terrible respawning bullshit. 3 was the GOAT.
GhostBear3067
MW3's salvage system is one of the things that made me fall in love with the Nova/Blackhawk Omnimech.
GadenKerensky
Try it with MercTech and a few MT compatible mod for a real in depth but hard experience.
Zakcl
Shadowcat was my favourite, but the Bushwacker was so pretty I painted a mini up for it, even though I don't play the tabletop game.
Johnsky
I really REALLY need to get a 3d printer... Oh, should call in another who might appreciate your work. @Battletechfangirl
