Kansas City players, or people who are just passing through the area, come join us at the Geekery just off Shawnee Mission Parkway for BattleTech!  Current days are Tuesdays in the afternoon and evening.  I can't make every single week, but odds are pretty good that somebody will be there.

$50.

I'll be in Gen Con next week.  Will do my best to stay current on this thread but there may be a slight delay if this thing funds during the con.

I will only be charging $500.00 for this one since I will be working with an existing Mech master pattern, not starting from scratch.  You can go ahead and send your pledges to my Paypal account now if you like.  PM me if you don't already have my PP info.

Changes will include:

New head/new lower arms/hands/sword/new left shoulder pad & elbow shield/new knee armor/new torso guns.  Torso/codpiece armor design is different.  Thigh portion of the leg is now rounded.  Move the shoulder sockets out, because the arms collide with the legs (especially the left arm).

Anything else?

Could you maybe possibly do something about the fact that the existing mini's lower legs are massively out of scale with the rest of the mini, and the existing art?  Turning those oversized kneepads into the rounded versions shown in the Red Reaper art might help, but that doesn't address the fact that the lower leg is thicker than the thigh.  They need to be scaled down but maybe 20%.

To B3. He's doing the sculpting and is coordinating payments. If you need his information you should send him a private message on this board to get it, he'll include all the needed information, unless he's already sent you that information based on your last post.
