‘Aight ya’ll, in support of #prideonparade and Mermaids UK I’ve made the decision to give away packs of stickers I made in exchange for any donation to the org

All you have to do is make your donation, DM me a screenshot of the confirmation page and give me a shipping name and address. Bam. Easy.

Driving to LA in the rain is so much fun everyone should do it

Day 13 I’m working on some stuff that requires a bit more effort so more pokemans it is! I rolled Chikorita so let’s hope it’s a sign that it’s Kalos form stats don’t suck ass

Better light box pic

🏳️‍⚧️Mel🏳️‍🌈 @tokolope.bsky.social · 1d

Thanks it’s super easy! Just primed it with Mephiston, put down evil sunz scarlet on the raised parts and wild rider red as the highlight

Day 12 is the most sturdy mini ever made. I’ve done things to this bloodletter that would shatter a space marine, so if you’re looking for a kit to give to a kid this is a great choice!

For whatever reason my light box only works with me in the morning so here’s the finished model for day 11! Tested out quartering on this mk so I can proxy them as death company if I ever want to play 40K.

I got pretty lucky and snagged two more alphas on my journey to get a Steelix so large it’s comical. Crossing my fingers that they bring the jingle back for the next game so I don’t have to hold my nose to the screen to see stray pixels

An ICE rat trespassed on my lot earlier so I’ve been frazzled and don’t really feel like painting anything substantial. Still tidied up this mkiii test scheme model for day 11 but I’ll be taking real pics tomorrow when the lighting is better.

Omg you’re an angel!! Thank you so much for taking the time to find this for me.

🏳️‍⚧️Mel🏳️‍🌈 @tokolope.bsky.social · 3d

Don’t really feel like painting today so I rolled a Pokémon randomizer and got Regigigas!

That actually helps a ton! And thanks for catching the flash

🏳️‍⚧️Mel🏳️‍🌈 @tokolope.bsky.social · 4d

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction! According to the resource I’m using they appear in 104 and 106, but it shouldn’t be hard to find the pdfs

Thank you! This is a 1st edition Bolta Boy from a catalogue back in ‘91. Crazy that this hunk of metal is older than me

🏳️‍⚧️Mel🏳️‍🌈 @tokolope.bsky.social · 4d

Does anyone have pics of this model painted? I’m in desperate need of reference. I don’t know what the heck is happening with those boots and I can’t find anything but a rough scan of the catalogue page. #warhammercommunity #nerdlings

Oh man I love the metal Yarricks! I totally agree, seeing the individual art style of each sculptor shine through is such a cool thing to experience in your little army guys.

I am very upset that I can’t romance River and have a big gay domestic life out in the boonies. 😭 Even the static camera angles implied it.

For day 9 I finished this Escher inspired by Vasquez from Aliens! I thought it would be novel to have one be ‘drab’ compared to the rest being so flashy.

Day 8 is table ready Calgar v2 who has been sitting in a shoe box unpainted for almost 20 years! His backpack is loooong gone but I figure I can pick it up down the line if I feel like it. Oldhammer is just so cool.

The thing that finally ended up working for me was finding an outbreak above ground in the canyon biome. The spawn radius is a lot tighter and it’s so much easier to see than in the caves

Also, Varoom is the best Pokemon to use in Let’s Go mode if you aren’t using it already.

What a successful hunt! Off to Arceus to look for shiny alpha Steelix before the next game comes out.
