A miniature calliope battlemech painted interior colors of the 1st Canopian Brigade, walking among miniature buildings

More work on composition, this time playing with lighting. The a red takeout bag over my ring light to achieve a look that reminds me of sunrises, the early shift, and the smell of strong cheap coffee. #battletech #MechWarrior #miniatures #photography

What's he on about now?

It's a 3d printed effect. Came bundled with a bunch of other effects like missiles and such

A miniature King Crab, painted in Star League colors, firing its cannon while being swarmed by battle armored troopers.

I'm working on setting up more dynamic compositions. This King Crab surprised me though: the lighting was suboptimal, I was shooting without a tripod, very slapdash to experiment. And what I got was actually really good?

Star Treks outpost scientists are the most guys ever
"I genetically engineered this shrimp to feel existential dread"
"Why?"
"DID ANYONE ASK DAVINCI WHY? OR MICHAELANGELO? I don't have time for stupid questions, I'm busy ignoring my wife."

The truth here is so ever relevant, is so simple and profound. I think I might pop it into my next book. Sharing yet again:

Workshopped some ways to improve, with great advice from @versusrev.bsky.social and @redpiano.bsky.social . I'm really happy with the way the osl and repose turned out on this Exterminator, which is good because it might be my last for a bit. #miniatures #battletech #MechWarrior

I am so sorry. Season 5 was their last :(

Hi kids it's me, John #Halo. Blowing aliens is cool but I'll tell you what isn't: poor grades. So brush your milk, drink your teeth, and remember to get eight hours of drugs every night. That's how you make the rank of Mister Chef like me.

Well, I'm never gonna unsee that either lmfao

This Jupiter 3 was a real beast to keep on my painting handle. Somehow, despite falling countless times, it never broke apart. It's heavy enough to be a lethal weapon lol. Painted as 1st Falcon Sentinels. #battletech #MechWarrior #miniatures

I had fun playing around with the blocking of the silver on this Battlemaster's chest. The gun was a real pain but I'm happy with how it came out. #battletech #MechWarrior #miniatures

Dune 3: You Know I Had to Dune it to 'Em

I've painted way fewer T-Bolts than I would have expected. Definitely one of the more badass mechs.
Especially combat dropping out of a dropship with no jump jets.

Closeup of the arm decals on the Pillager. The bicep sports a silhouette of a woman in a seductive pose.

This Pillager was a joy to paint but a pain to photograph. Some shoots it feels like nothing comes together the way you want.
Anyways, I had some pinup decals I hadn't had a chance to use and what better force to put them on than the Magistracy of Canopus? #battletech #MechWarrior #miniatures

This mini was a real pain to assemble. It's a nice sculpt... but the tolerance of the parts is so small that trying to pin them really messed with their fit. All in all, the only part I'd recommend pinning is where the torso meets the hips. Scheme in alt text. #battletech #MechWarrior #miniatures

WE GOT ONE!

Our trans sci-fi short Long Away will be part of the Brighton International Trans Film Festival in the UK! The festival date is July 18, in just a couple weeks, at the Duke of York Cinema! We don't have the exact screening time yet, will update as soon as we do.

YEAH LET'S GO LET'S GO!

Agreed. If the way the approached the Patton/Rommel is any indication, they're unlikely to retcon anything.
So with that in mind, I think it would be cool if they brought in some Iroquois artists to redesign it, and release it as a new ilClan era 'Mech under a name that honors its source.

Painted up this Huron Warrior for my 2nd MAC force. They'll be interesting to throw on the table now that they're back to their mercenary roots. #battletech #MechWarrior #miniatures

The White House took down the nation's top climate report. You can still find it here The National Climate Assessment is the most influential source of information about climate change in the United States.

If we don’t talk about it, then it doesn’t exist..climate change you said? We don’t know what that is.

The website that hosts the most recent edition of the National Climate Assessment has gone dark.
The report is the most influential source of information about how climate change affects the US.
