I still paint! Warships, too

This one is long overdue.  CSJ Obsidian, before being destroyed by the Quicksilver Mongoose. Because a Douchey Wang is a Liao design, you see, so therefore it gets to beat a McKenna.   ^-^

How the hell does a Du Shi Wang destroy a McKenna, short of Federated Suns Standard Attack One-Bravo?

...great piece! I should paint mine someday.

Luck, pure and simple. As for the mini it's pretty damned good. I've only seen a couple of CSO Warships done better with one of them being a McKenna as well.

That mini's not much bigger than some medium mechs, is it?

That's some good work on something that small.

Beautiful work, Jal. I especially like the multi-layered greys. Also, is the CSJ logo handpainted??

Noooo. The McKenna miniature is longer, stem-to-stern, than all 'Mechs. Some minis may be wider, but the WarShip's miniature is seriously not tiny.

Thanks, but it's not all that small.  It's about three inches long. Good, heavy chunk of metal, this one! 

Beautiful work, Jal. I especially like the multi-layered greys. Also, is the CSJ logo handpainted??

And thanks again!  The logo is a decal.  I'm not that good at freehand painting.
