Heavy Gear: Peace River

Since I stopped playing BattleTech in the late 1990's, I've had an on-again, off-again interest in Heavy Gear. I love the world. I love the Gear designs, and the mix of hard sci-fi and Anime influences really hits a sweet spot for me.

A while back I painted some Peace River Defense Force Gears using a simple method of a black undercoat, Vallejo military color base coats, and the famous Dip method. I'm quite taken with the results of this very simple method, and I intend to re-visit the PRDF and do some more in this scheme.











For those not in the know, the scale of these minis is about 12mm, or 1/144th. All figures are top notch quality castings, and though they're a tad pricey, DP9's customer service cannot be beaten. Well worth a look!

    Thanks for the kind words! That tan is Vajello Iraqi Sand over a black undercoat, then dipped with MinWax Tudor Satin 360. I paint the dip on. The greenish color is a Vajello army green, not sure which one. Hope this helps!
