Strike like a bird of prey!Fading in and out of sight like a spine-claiming Predator or a Klingon's cloaking warship, the Raptor II has been one of my favorite BattleMechs ever since I first played MechAssault 2 on looks alone, and it looked sharp.However, the IWM models never did it for me, and being in the tumultuous space between the FedCom Civil War and the current ilClan era of BattleTech leaves the Raptor stuck in a strange niche where only a handful of third party modelers have tackled it. So, I decided to make my own.Stalking the field at about 40mm tall as a blend of MechAssault and sourcebook art, my Raptor IIs represent the majority of canon variants and print in two pieces - the legs, and the torso.If you have your own Resin Printer, the files are available for free on my Cults3D page!Current variants:RPT-2X (2x sidetorso Medium VSPs, RA BattleMech Taser)RPT-2X1A, B, C (RT ERML, ERLL, rear CT ERSmall, LA SSRM6) (SRM placement varies)RPT-3X (2x arm mounted ERML, 2x sidetorso SSRM6) & 3X + Jump JetsRPT-5X (RA ERLL, LA ERML, sidetorso MML5, Jump Jets)RPT-MA2 (MechAssault 2, RA, RT, sidetorso weapons, Jump Jets) (Noncanon)RPT-Stiletto (MechAssault 2 Stiletto, RA Gauss, RT Flamer, SRM4 sidetorsos, Jump Jets) (Noncanon)Seven different leg posesTwo variants of pelvis (bare and up-armored)Includes:Resin Print: Raptor II ComponentsFDM Print: Hex BaseMinis are printed off of my Mars 5 Ultra in whatever resin I have at hand (typically water-washable); Minis are shipped unpainted and should be kept out of sunlight until primed. As these are 3D prints they may bear visible layer lines and support structure scarring may be visible.eBay's inventory/variation management setup does not represent my actual inventory; I have a backlog of available pieces for immediate fulfillment, but may need time to print new ones, hence four days handling time. I will typically ship things as soon as possible. Photos depict a few different versions and may further differ as I continue to try and improve the model.Keywords: Classic BattleTech, Alpha Strike, Word of Blake, Inner Sphere, Dark Age, Jihad, MechWarrior, MechAssault, American Mecha, 6mm Tabletop Wargaming, 3D Printing, Custom 3D Prints, Resin 3D Prints, Proxy, Proxy Miniature, Resin Miniature, Tabletop Miniatures, Wargames, Miniature Kit
