Having been one of the lucky few to pick up an early copy of the House Kurita Ranger Lance, Ginoxy #1140 painted up this gorgeous Avatar for the Ryuken-Go! It's a fitting assignment for such a fun OmniMech! - https://www.instagram.com/p/DQz91PXDfYr/&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA
Coming in with some really cool technique, Comstar_000b wanted to show off this two-tone Charger! The shifting tone panels of blue to red is a really cool touch, and I don't envy the astech that was assigned to take care of that paintjob!
Klint tried a new technique to them with glazing this Gothic King Crab! It is interesting to see Gothic 'Mechs in brighter colors like this blue! Even in the grimmest BattleTech setting, not everything has to be dark and dreary!
Wrapping us up for this week, we have this BEAUTIFUL Rakshasa kitbash from GillyMonster, Mechoplasty M.D.! It feels almost unsettling to look at, but the more we look at it, the more you can see the entirety come together!
