Hell yes, I'd love a dropshop! I'll PM you and send an e-mail address. Thank you! These mechs can certainly be rescaled up to figure-scale. They would be a LOT easier to build in that case. The Mad Dog is now built, striking fear in the hearts of those poor Inner Sphere mechwarriors...

Just the other day I stumbled on a Marauder model made for Mechwarrior 3 by someone named Whammy and converted to Pepakura by vlmarshall (or ShiftDel, hard to tell from the post stream). It is perfect for my needs, with elements I'm was pretty certain I can use directly, rescaled. So I laid...

The Mad Dog (Vulture) is now complete, at least the panel and detailing layout. I've not fully settled on the colour scheme. I may brave a camo pattern (Ghost Bear) for the prototype build. I made minor scale modification to the model to bring the legs to the same size as the Timber...

I'm moving this from the Hex Hill thread as this ongoing project is migrating from terrain to game set pieces in general. I'll keep a separate thread for actual game pieces (Mechs, Tanks, etc), and reserve this thread for all buildings and 'terrain' in this scale. For those of you new to...

I've designed it such so that measurements are always from center of hex. This way I don't need to adjust if I go with wider or narrower streets, and I ensure later designs and building elements can incorporate this. If you want you could always trim the top/bottom half of the hex plate it is...

The terrain elements I'm posting on my site, Zathros (although they are in the store, they will all be free at this scale). While I still have to finish the beta build of the rails and write instructions, I've since started a city road design. As roads tend toward 90 degree angles, there will...

The original MC2 legs for the Timberwolf and the Mad Dog (they appear to share the same leg design) are not very close to canon, so I've made modifications from the original. The new design should prove a little easier to assemble as well. I have a few tweaks yet to make to the models then I...

Thank you for your kind comments! Zathros, I've uploaded the Cat and the Urbanmech, although I am unable to upload pictures at all, I get 'Security Token missing' errors. Thank you, Tirick

I am finished about 1/2 of the test build of the 1:1000 scale train set; the straight tracks and the covered bridge. I've mounted the parts on acetate so that I can use them on any terrain board, although the white glue has during curing warped it a little, they still work well. With...

;) that was two weeks ago mate. I've not uploaded the Cat yet. The Atlas was pending for a few days though, and still was before I left on holidays.

Well, the Urbanmech is buildable, although only just. Any smaller would have to be 2d flat elements. As it is I made a few build errors, the dome is a little flattened for example. I've been presenting these 'as is'. Normally I would be touching the edges up with paint to elimate some of...

The Catapult: Once more I've used a CDN penny for comparison. It is a little over 18mm wide. This build went quite well, despite some of the tiny pieces (the toes in particular). It gives me hope for the Urbanmech, which I will be tackling soon, perhaps this afternoon if time allows. The...

Download status is still 'pending' both here at at Papermodelers.com, so I'll add them to a folder on my site: http://tcfgaming.com/ Please feel free to obtain them there. I will continue to upload new releases to here as well. Enjoy, Tirick

I look forward to seeing the Alps again and the enjoying the hospitality of Bavaria (and the beer there, to be honest, is the best beer I've ever had). Yeah, I realize it is the Arrow IV set (although I'll be honest, era-timing in BTech is beyond my casual recollection of the universe) , I...

Yes, lehcyfer, I intend to use these as Battletech game figurines rather than the plastic/metal ones that are standard use. The 'real' figurines are 1:280 scale, while the hex-game uses 30 meter representative hexes, which is 1:1000 scale. The disparity irritates me, so I'd rather build play...

No worries Zathros!

;) They are indeed custom made. The model itself is also custom, it is not a game-rip. Sorry, this project has been on hold for some BTech things I've been working on. No worries, I'll get back to it!

Inspired by the success of my test 1:1000 scale Catapult I wanted to make more, but there are very few good sources for multi-angle pictures of Battlemechs. I tried my hand at a few, and I even have some 'armour' in that scale I am quite happy with. However, I was not happy with the results of...

Thank you all for your interest! I've begun to rough in the underside/engine section. I'm taking a few liberties here as it is not a well defined area, at least in any pictures I can see. There are definitely 4 engines, although I am not certain the original has a 'main' engine in the center. I...

I am a man of a 1,000,000 projects, so no guarantees on when this one will finish. However, I've taken a fancy to the idea of making a game-scale Battletech dropship. There is already a good paper model of the Overlord dropship available here. However, I'd like to try my hand at the smaller...
