Hey there fam, I've been a bit secondhand lately and haven't been super active, sorry!
What have you been up to while I've been gone? Any mini painting? Any gaming, or other hobbies?
Drop an image in the replies, and not just your Battletech, anything cool you've been up to!
This is both the least neurotypical and most relatable post I've seen all week.
An older woman dressed in a red sweater and broad brimmed hat looks off into the distance in the middle of a busy market scene with fruit and veg stands surrounding her.
I'm technically replying to myself here, but I'll get us started by sharing a shot from some street photography I've been doing:
A warm and hazy shot of a table at a bakery, with scattered rubbish from a much enjoyed lunch. The tone is comfortable, retro, nostalgic and inviting.
Cozy lunchtime vibes courtesy of my X100VI, my 1/4 mist filter, and my ever wonderful girlfriend @beckybirb.bsky.social
An old lady dressed in red stands next to a fruit seller with a pallet of grapes out front. The colours feel vintage and film like.
Feeling much more comfortable with colour at the Adelaide central markets over the weekend
My brain read that as 'three more shits' and I was about to compliment you on your diet, fibre intake, and extreme regularity.
The photo of a back corner of a parking garage, with a blue painted wall, and very soft, hazy light coming through the windows. It was shot on a Fujifilm X100VI.
Letting my mist filter do its thing at Adelaide's Central Markets.
I love him. He looks vaguely friend shaped, like an anteater. Are you going to be putting a muzzle brake or anything on the end of the gun?
A photograph of a drop ceiling with fluro lights. It's dark and ominous and green tinged.
A shot of a handbag in a blue lit office. There's an orange Sony lanyard hanging out.
Liminal corporate hell. Severance vibes.
A close up shot of an X100VI lens, showing a black diffusion 1/4 filter fitted.
I was going to buy a 1/8 Black Mist filter to leave on my X100 but accidentally picked up a 1/4. Anyway y'all should get ready for everything I shoot to look like an 80s porno from now on.
wait holy shit they un-Rising Sun'd Yen-Lo-Wang?!?

So glad to see this hey
Hey there:
This is an unashamed shill post for our DIscord server. There you’ll find queer folk and our allies, lots of mechs, minis, lore discussion, a mechbay channel to post your creations as well as room for social and other chats.
You can find us here: discord.gg/M8CZ2uAjuH
Mattie Gascar sounds like a Madagascan drag queen that’s beholden to big oil and shits on EVs :P
A warm, rustic scene featuring a green plastic lawn chair sitting among some discarded wooden pallets, with a corrugated iron wall visible in the background.
Smoko break.
Part of my year of colour, shot on my Fujifilm X100VI.
A vibrant photograph of a bunch of flowers in a plantar. The colours are saturated, showing off the yellow/orange blooms and the depth of field is very shallow. This was shot on a Fujifilm X100VI.
The weather is dreary but the flowers are still bright.
Fantastic work! He's just dripping with charm and character.
Toy? TOY! I GET TOY!
A photo of a computer screen showing the author ordering a book of rodeo photos called "Lights. Camera. Bovine."
What could this be? A new book perhaps?
Hey Trans & Non-binary photographers!
I have a discord server specifically for us photographers to get together and talk about cameras and photos.

Heck yeah, I'm there.
Given the puns you've been posting, it's less a skill and more a terrible burden :P
Let’s show them some Battletech!
Snipe and Wib are an awesome little channel, mostly 40K focused, but very funny and quirky and fun.
A blue Battletech Highlander mini
I'm trans and I paint Battletech!!
A photo of the author. She’s a trans woman with shoulder length hair and blue eyes. She has pink lipstick on, and an eternity collar with a ring for a leash. She’s wearing a transparent top, showing black lingerie underneath, and there’s a tie at her throat.
While technically late here in Australia, it’s still TDOV somewhere, so here’s me, myself and I, the alleged human behind this account <3
Pardon my small bit of narcissism here, but I figured y’all might want to be able to put a proverbial face to the account ;)
Lately I’ve been helping run the Battletech Queer Community bsky account.
It’s been an utter privilege being able to share the community’s minis, mechs, memes and moments. TDOV is obviously important to me as a trans person, and it was a pleasure to post this bit of outreach.
Want to know what I’ve been up to?
I mean I wouldn’t either, but I’ve set up a link on my website that’ll always take you to the latest project I’ve been working on.

A King Crab Battletech mini, painted up in trans pride colours
A Blood Asp Battletech mini, painted up in trans pride colours
A Raven Battletech mini, painted up in trans pride colours
It’s trans day of visibility, and what’s more visible than a towering pillar of steel, pride, and power?
Here we’ve got Zahra’s trans Blood Asp, Kaiju’s OG trans pride King Crab, and Blimp’s trans Raven, doing an big steppy.
Have you painted up any pride mechs of your own? Drop them in the comments if you have, we’d love to see them <3
