A quote from Joe, to be found at the Osprey Publishing website:

About Ambush Alley Games

Ambush Alley Games published Ambush Alley, a rule set focused on the difficulties of asymetrical warfare in an urban environment, in 2007 and quickly established themselves as a growing force in modern miniature gaming.
Following up on the success of their original game, Ambush Alley Games released a number of scenario and expansion books focused on subjects as diverse as the Vietnam conflict and the US envolvement in Somalia. In 2009, they released Force on Force, which brought Ambush Alley mechanics and philosophy of play to more traditional, symmetrical conflicts.

Tomorrow's War meets Battletech: House Davion's "Locust" painted

Based upon the unseen Mech design, primarily for scouting and recon. This was a multi-part resin kit, based upon a scratchbuilt Mech. The N-scale community demanded copies, so the creator got his scratchbuilt custom Locust casted - and I was happy to obtain two of them.
Armed with only a Martel Medium Laser and two Sperry-Browning MGs, it cannot withstand any other Mech for a long time, but that's not its purpose in the first place.

I based the Locust on some rocky surface to increase the height slightly.

I wanted a striding pose, just as in the old FASA artwork of the TRO 3025.

The Locust is currently the smallest Mech used within the Inner Sphere.

A tiny, filigrane little BattleMech - I just love that thing.

A locust!
One of my all-time favourite Mechs!

Nice color-scheme and accurate paintjob.

Came out great, I have a copy as well but it's in really rough shape. Did you have to do a ton of clean up work to get yours like this?

I'm wondering if maybe I just got a really bad cast.

@Mech dude: No, the cast is as good as the master was. The master was a kit-bash made of Mechwarrior Dark Age parts from which they made copies. There was plenty of cleaning involved and it still could be a lot better. Well, I got another one (for Kurita), we'll see how this one turns out.
