He also did this Phase Zero Dark Trooper for me, that’s a modified TVC phase 1 clone trooper.

I bought it and had the shipping address go to a guy who has done other custom painting for me.

Rebel One takes its place in the Rebel/New Republic fleet! Alongside an official Starhawk and one of @melminiatures.bsky.social Nebulas!

Well now I need to commission you to do mine! (If you do commissions)

WAHOOO!! MY DAUGHTER, ELENA

Anne Hathaway bought the rights to a novel about a tradwife influencer who wakes up in 1855 and has to actually live the life she's been selling online. The book is called Yesteryear. It came out 3 days ago. The film rights were already sold to Hathaway, who will produce and star.

Holy shit, I have NEVER been more excited for a movie.

I also wish I could find again that artwork of a Providence modified to have two big hanger pods on the sides of its read superstructure.

Had to share this artwork from this thread cause I love the idea of the Providence having the Mon Cal style of variety between ships of the class. Would love to see people make Armada scale miniatures of them. www.reddit.com/r/StarWarsSh...

Maine has officially passed the nation’s first-ever statewide moratorium on AI data centers.
The state legislature voted to freeze approvals for all facilities requiring over 20 megawatts of power until October 2027.
At least 11 other states are considering similar restrictions.

Republicans deployed a little-known law to open Minnesota wilderness to mining Legal experts say the use of the Congressional Review Act to open mining near the Boundary Waters could drastically reshape U.S. public lands protections.

there is such a magic to sitting on a tiny island in the boundary waters, seeing more stars than you could have imagined were up there, hearing the loons

i hope we do not rob future generations of experiencing it

Yeah. I’ve decided that, when budgeting allows, this is the next one to get, but in Rebel colors so it’ll go along with Rebel One as some revamped CIS ships.

Not a bad little battle group. Gotta get an MC85 at some point so the Mon Remonda (thanks, @admiralnick22.bsky.social !) has a friend.

Not half bad for 8hrs of painting.
Granted some of them had some basing work done, but still I’m not mad at the effort.

Timeline cleanser!
Have finished off the Republic Dreadnaught’s and Vesper’s, just letting the wash fully dry before they’ll be sealed with varnish.
If I get time tonight I’ll do some glamour shots of them, but if not it’ll be soon!

I've been wanting to do this for a long time: here's a deep dive into the creation of the TIE Phantom from Rebel Assault 2 (1995). 🚀

And to keep with the mid-1990s vibe, this article is multimedia-rich, with plenty of videos and GIFs to make it more playful. 😎

Same!

Had a really good time doing that stream of Mass Effect last week, so we'll be continuing it tomorrow at 8pm UK time.~ (17th of April.)

Exactly one year ago today:

I gotta find where I put that stand I bought way back when Mel was still on Etsy. It’s somewhere in the new apartment 😅

Right??? I opened the box and was like “this could’ve been from the official Armada line!”

Is that why bsky is shit today lmao? Did you guys just integrate more or have an update or something? Cause literally it's not helping 💀

@melminiatures.bsky.social it is here!

They KNOW AI will cause problems, that's why they're trying to get out of it

Notice how the most celebrated and successful space mission in *decades* was run by at least 50% “DEI hires”—not all white men? And not even all Americans. Maybe diversity *is* strength . . .

The amazing, letter-perfect performance of NASA this week is a ferocious rebuke to the right-wing fools who constantly tell us that for-profit businesses always do a job better than the government.

The shared excitement over NASA’s recent mission compared to the general indifference to SpaceX missions speaks to the power of something seen as the product of communal human effort rather than just the ego and avarice of one obnoxious dork.

Bunnies in a raft pull up next to a spaceship capsule, which has just splashed down and is floating in the open sea. Visible in the capsule, two bunnies wave at the ones in the boat.

Daily bunny no.3285 made it home safely

Finally got Showcase shots of the First Order Raider Corvette.
As an unapologetic Sequel Trilogy lover it was a delight to finally be able to add small ships to my First Order Fleet 😁
They were brilliantly designed by @melminiatures.bsky.social once again coming in with the goods! #StarWars #Armada
