Mecha May

Four years running, Mecha May is the hobby community's annual celebration of big stompy robots in miniature form. Gunpla, Battletech, Warhammer, or anything else — if it's a mech, you can share it here. Paint it weathered and war-torn, sleek and parade-ready, mid-stomp through a ruined city, or looming over a tiny pilot for scale. Full mechs are encouraged, but battle-damaged pieces and dioramas are welcome as long as a mech is front and center.
