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!

Pulled the trigger and started my first dioramas using trash I had lying around. I gotta practice for the fair next year and figured my rats deserve something special

OB sucks ass and I think I was about to be mugged. Just rancid vibes. If any of you come down here just go to Carlsbad where there isn’t toxic runoff and people aren’t threatening to SA you

I’ve been holding off on watching Breaking Bad but I think I’m ready to watch Walter be so awful he forces drug lords to take mental health days

If I had an airbrush I’d be unstoppable but I know for a fact that I would get frustrated day 1 and never take care of it.

One of my favorite yearly traditions is painting for my friend who knows nothing about the hobby. This year is all about Cyberpunk and ofc he chose the most complicated gang so I’ve got my work cut out for me!

Finished my first Clanrat! I had a hard time getting any fade to look good on the cloth, but that’s what practice is for. Other than that the skin and fur were real fun and easy to work with

I got my Cyberpunk minis in today and I’m real curious how deep the details are once it’s primed. If anyone has some painted I’d love to see them! #nerdlings

I am so honored to have been gifted this beautiful model from @artisticoutlaw.com as part of our trade. I could have never imagine how beautiful his work is irl and I’m going to treasure it forever.

I wish I didn’t have life ruining anxiety or I could actually play the games I’ve invested a bajillion dollars into. It’s gotten easier now that I pass as masc, but I can never shake the dread that was going to my LGS and being treated like shit for even looking at their miniature displays

First time playing! It usually takes awhile for me to learn a new system but I had an easy time of it and a lot of fun.
Played some Trench Crusade with the husband! My antioch got shredded to bits by his black grail lmao

Working with James was such an honor and one of the highlights of my year. I feel so blessed to know such a wonderful person and can’t wait to get a proper display for the beautiful mini he made for me
I did a really fun thing with @tokolope.bsky.social last month. We traded painted minis. I wrote about it, cause I needed more space to put my thoughts and photos. Check it out!

Wanted to test a lava base before I put the paint down on the mini I’m working on and ended up painting a bunch waiting for it to dry. I still don’t quite understand how to use the water gel but dry brushing saberite on the green one looks pretty neat

Omg this was so fun to paint! Dominion was my intro to Warhammer so to have a second box means I get to really flex what I’ve been practicing. I usually avoid dry brushing but can’t deny how well it worked out!

Every color blended on the shawl was fighting me, but I was able to get it pretty close to what I was imagining! Even did some dry brushing on the banner but my dumb ring light washed it out

I don’t care if season 2 of Fallout is bad because I’ve never been pandered to this much before and I love it.

Time for a Mel Tip! If you want to take pics like mine it’s really easy if you have the right hardware. All you need is a light box set with a tripod from Amazon and a phone with a night mode setting. I have an iPhone 12 Pro Max but I hear some Samsungs have it now.
