Finished two of the non-Drac #Battletech minis I've been working on. The Wasp has been half done since 2023 but I don't play Capellans often so it was low priority. The Wolfhound is for my Merc force, Ecliptic Coven.
Took a glamour group shot of my completed Legion of Vega #Battletech minis at yesterday's weekly game with @fochtsnetwork.bsky.social at @hairytarantula.bsky.social! Only the Hatamoto, Guillotine, and Ostscout were in the game but with the other players we managed to hold off the Smoke Jaguars!
As promised to myself I got more #Battletech minis painted. Did the silver, details, cockpit, touch ups, and painted the bases before doing the actual basing. I chose to start with these 8 so I can use them at my next weekly game in a Draconian Combine focused scenario.
I need to get back to painting #Battletech minis. Couldn't do it while a friend was visiting, but now I can set up my painting station again. I've got 20 mechs that are close to being finished. Just need to do the silver, details, wash, and basing... Not that close to done apparently 😅
Sometimes you just need the right pill. www.redbubble.com/shop/ap/1823... #transshitpost #trans
The last 3 #Battletech minis have their red panels done! Next will be doing the detail work for all 20 of these; lasers, metal, cockpits, etc!
Wrapped up a 2 year City of Winter game with @knalliso.bsky.social, @sifsweetman.bsky.social, and @sniperserpent.bsky.social. What a wonderful way to spend a Sunday evening!
Yesterday I had a great time at the Pride vendors, the Toronto Trans March and then going dancing! I fucking love this city and being trans!
After playing @mint-rabbit.bsky.social's TTRPG Protect The Child at BreakoutCon this past March I enjoyed my depiction of the pre-gen character I played so much that I commissioned this great art piece of her from @oldmanhadrian.bsky.social!
Two more #Battletech minis, including a jumping Guillotine, have passed this phase of the process.
Last week's outfits! Wore my new blue dress out for the second trans shopping trip that I organized to help nervous newbies try looking for clothes in person. We had a good turnout of more than a dozen folks and almost everyone found something to buy! #selfie #transselfie #transwoman
Another two #Battletech minis have gotten their reds. I'm especially happy with how the Highlander came out.
Got a display box for shelves and I finally have some Battletech on display!
Two more #Battletech minis have gotten their red panels. I have 6 left after this and I'm thinking that I need to start doing my minis in smaller batches.
This past week's outfits! Wore two of my new work dresses, and the last fit was entirely to deal with the high temperatures this week. #selfie #transselfie #transwoman
Another two mech session of #Battletech painting but it didn't feel like a short one; Assault mechs just take that much longer to do!
Plus some new work dresses that I got today! They're all high cotton content pieces so they're breathable and machine washable, and the blue one even has pockets!
Last week's outfits! Fanny pack is because a purse is too annoying with my work backpack on. #selfie #transselfie #transwoman
Last week's outfits. The white dress wasn't for work (it was for grocery shopping) but the rest are! #selfie #transselfie #transwoman
Short #Battletech painting session today. Just did the red on these two.
More pink for Ace Darwin, a purple arm & leg for the Wolfhound, and a Lance's worth of red panelling for the Legion of Vega. #Battletech
I forgot just how big the Atlas is compared to other mechs, and thus takes longer to paint. It took longer than the Ostscout and Whitworth combined. This #Battletech paint scheme is SO much faster than my Lyrans 😭
Spent my afternoon and evening brush priming these #Battletech minis black and then drybrushing most of them grey. They're Legion of Vega once I add some red panels and the details. The pink one is for my Ace Darwin and the turquoise is for a Merc force plus I wanted to test out my new paint marker.
World building for #TimePassesRPG can be lots of fun. What DOES a world that has "trains" but lacks the Industrial Revolution, look like? How do rail lines shape the world over 500 years, especially when the most recent 50 are nearly apocalyptic winter (due to the moon falling of course).
I'm really happy with this chunk of notes about magic in #TimePassesRPG. I always knew that I wanted belief to be an important part of how magic worked and these ideas helped lock that down.
Two work outfits from this week. I didn't feel great in the red top but I've been assured that it looks good and I've just got brain worms. #selfie #transselfie #transwoman
