I would like to say that 3026 was the first BattleTech book I ever actually bought (though I had been tangentially been involved before that) and since I became an infantryman much later in life, these three AFVs have always had a very special place in my heart and mind. So I heartily thank everyone who has been involved in this process; the models look exactly like what I have been looking for all these years.
I would also like to mention one additional tidbit:
Loose's art took a lot of liberty with physics. For example, how does a wheeled vehicle whose front wheels clearly have no wheel wells make turns?
This is actually a bit of a misconception; many real-world wheeled vehicles (and some fabulous military ones) can make turns without actually turning the wheels, such as the French AMX-10RC (and a prettier AFV you won't likely find, other than if it had four axles, perhaps):
They use skid-steering, which is essentially how tracked vehicles turn (short version: they stop one side's wheels and continue moving the other side's to accomplish the turn).
Anyways, thanks to all who were involved at every level; I only wish I'd gotten here earlier to be involved somehow. Hopefully, given their finished dimensions, they will be priced in accordance with similar microarmor kit allowing them to be procured in numbers commensurate with their usage in-universe... ;D
