Hi I’m Mel! I am a post-op trans man who paints miniatures and makes stickers as a hobby. My current project is to paint every single miniature in this apartment without buying anything new for myself. Thanks for checking out my work!

More progress! Once I paint the stitching it’ll pop out a lot more. Now I need to decide where I want to use washes vs pin shading 🤔

I am very excited to start the Cyberpunk skirmish game now that my year long embargo on buying miniatures is up! I’m tired of space marines I want killer clowns and weaponized cat girls

Spent awhile blocking out the “leather” in a way that seemed organic. Also solved my ork skin problem by using a new pot rather than one that dried out months ago

I know I’m asking too much but getting a Val Hazak mini would be the coolest thing in the world

Blast from the past! Painted these two back in October ‘21. I have a second Dominion box and thought it would be cool to reimagine what I was going for with the skills I have now

Played Kirby Air Riders for a bit last night and really enjoyed it. I’ve been wishing for a port since the Wii U, so getting a whole new game 20 years later feels amazing.

Had to get this Boy done before the post office closed so I couldn’t get good lighting for pictures, but it’s all good! I’m happy with what I was able to do in a short amount of time

Selling the cataphactii in boxes of 6 is vile. I still play 2nd so I would have to buy 5 boxes instead of 3 to make a nice round 30 models. That’s an extra $140 pretax, and as a personal gripe there’s no twin lightning claws.
The Quest models are the coolest things ever made though, big thumbs up

The spawn overload trick in zone 20 is super easy and works like a dream if anoyone else is shalpha hunting. Of course Steelix isn’t in the pool because that would be too easy

Yay I have something to show for #wipwednesday! Couldn’t help myself from adding hazard stripes, it’s a compulsion at this point. Also gotta say that green skin is pretty hard when you’re out of practice

The company who runs the crack motel next door tore out every plant and tree on the property so they could build *checks notes* fast food. Fuck me I can’t live anywhere without gentrification chewing up and spitting out my rotted corpse.

Finding all sorts of treasures today. I was looking for a Black Ork sprue and found an untouched Beast Snagga box instead! Thinking about piecing them out for gifts cuz who wouldn’t want a Boy?

Rare building day! Despite abstaining for an entire year I still have a ton of plastic to build. Orktober is in November, right?

Getting crafty doing some winter basing with the stuff I already have. One day I want to make tutorials for people like me who have a hard time following videos after the third step

I took a couple weeks off to do some rare irl stuff. To get back into the swing of things I asked my husband if I could paint one of the White Scars scouts he got from Spectre Miniatures

Finished every single thing in Z-A other than the last 600 battles needed for the shiny charm. Now I can get my ADHD ass to focus on painting again!
