Shadowcat Mech
I commissioned Tim over at FCY: Battlemech Club to build a Shadowcat Mech. I needed a OmniMech for the collection.
Well I got around to starting it a few days ago and have some test shots for your review.
I have laid down rattlecan flat black, hand painted the flames, and have just started the process of transforming it from "factory new" to battle hardened. I need to get some decals on the mech before I continue.
The paint scheme is from Clan Hell's Horses Omega Keshik.
If you had not noticed, the cockpit has yet to be painted. I am going to paint the "glass" a chrome base and then paint over that with a transparent blue.
Here is the back side of both mechs. On the Highlander, I will be adding graphite below the exhaust vents for a little carbon scoring. That was the oringinal reason to go heavy handed on the wash, but the base color is not black. I used a Black Grey, so I could use black oils for grease staining and laser scoring.
The nice extra touch that Tim put into this model was the ability to re-position the torso and arms. They are held together by magnets.
A little closer look at the back of Tim's model.
3/4 Top down look.
Here they are in their "mech bay".
I have placed it next to the Highlander for comparison. Yes the Highlander needs its weathering toned down a notch or two. Thank Kerensky that it is a clay based wash and can almost be washed out.

Highlander Test Shot
Just a quick look at the Highlander I have been working off and on.
This a really bad shot with flash, so I can see if I need to remove more of the wash I put on. The answer is YES!!!
