Today I made some time to sit and get some more paint down on my Jade Falcons, and finish off the Big Scale Archer that I started a couple of days ago. It was nice to just relax and focus on doing some details for the Archer, and I flexed my freehand abilities a little bit with some checkerboard detailing, as you can see below. Annoyingly the photos turned out a little dark. I really need to find my light box, which is somewhere in the garage in a box...

| Front view: the thigh plates have a black and white check marking and the mech's name - BATTLEAXE - while the LRM covers hold the Amaris Dragoon insignia and the mech number |
 |
| The gold banding on the arms, legs, and waist identify the division as one of the Imperial Divisions that took part in the Amaris Coup |
 |
| Some subtle danger markings on the rear in white and, extremely hard to see, in black on the back of the calf armour |
 |
| The arm-mounted medium lasers are useful, but the bulk of the firepower comes from the LRMs |
 |
| Each of the battlefists has KILL written across them, because I couldn't resist a little nod to Rogue Trader style sloganeering |
After getting the ARC-2R finished, I got the camouflage pattern down on the Jade Falcons, and finished up with a nice overall Nuln Oil wash:
 |
| It's amazing how quickly the camouflage makes them look Falcon Guard-y |
So my second completed model in the new house, and it's another Battlemech. A little bit bigger than the last one though. Tomorrow I'm going to do some more work on the Jade Falcons, and maybe even get some details down like the canopies and weapons.
