Mel Miniatures

I have to announce that WesJanson3D will close his Etsy store by the end of the year. It has been a pleasure working with him. His integrity, quality control and care has been incredible. I wish him the best of lucks. So go to his store, buy some spaceships, and support his future endevours.

Had a busy week, forgot to share the rotating view of The Caisson.

Got my print of the gorgeous Mandator IV SSD sculpted by @melminiatures.bsky.social. Details are amazing, looking forward to painting in the coming weeks (months/decades😂). Damn the size of this thing is immense!

I've just discovered the album "Across the Stars" by John Williams with violinist Anne-Sophie Mutter, and it is worth a listen. Here is one example: www.youtube.com/watch?v=bmBE...

How cool is that little harp sound every time someone discovers some sort of time travel hijinks in the Back to the Future Trilogy?

Rotating view of the Jaster's Legacy

Peacemaker, The Penguin and Lanterns have been amazing, thoughtful and interesting TV shows. And all of them for different reasons and with completely different styles.

ModernWarships by ArtStorm Games used my atomic ekranoplan design without permission or so much as buying me dinner, cmon guys don't do me dirty like this, cut me a cheque I'm broke! #Modernwarships #ArtStormGames

The Jaster's Legacy is now available for X-Wing Miniatures. Apologies if the TaleSpin theme gets stuck in your head while flying this ship.

Star Wars: Squadrons was released 6 years ago today. So it's a good time to revisit the "Hunted" short by ILM that preceded the game's release. Arguably the best fiction showcasing the TIE Interceptor from the Disney era. Lucasfilm should produce this kind of promotional project more often.

Proud to present my lifesize T. rex head, affectionately named Hannibal. I created this myself from start to finish- digital sculpture, resin 3D printing, painting, etc. Huge thanks to my friend @rj-palmer.com for instrumental crits and redlines during the sculpting process.

Up until three days ago I had never noticed that the feathers in Lechuck's hat were a dead crow.

There are things in this movie that shouldn't work. For example, after they have rescued the Princess and escaped the Death Star suddently John Williams disappears for 10 minutes, we get tons of technobabble exposition and all the main characters except Luke get replaced by a bunch of pilots.

Trying to get the proportions right...

Check this out - @bextia.bsky.social built a really cool galaxy map system using my galaxy map art! You can view it here, in English and Spanish: bextia.com

Which makes the other character we meet here all the more interesting: the Twi'lek warrior Tal'dira. Tal'dira and his crew (in custom Uglies, pictured) crash a big party being thrown for Rogues, slap around the merchants, and gives a swaggering speech about how warriors should negotiate w each other

Rotating view of the Pursuer Enforcement Ship "Slave II"

I've remade the Pursuer Enforcement Ship as seen in Dark Empire as the Slave II and in X-Wing Alliance. Had a lot of fun adding detail to this one.

Rotating view of the Millennium Eagle. You can rotate the top turret and antenna.

The Millennium Eagle for X-Wing Miniatures. This ship was first developed by the Sci Fi Air Show as a mix of the early Millennium Falcon concept art and the Eagle from Space 1999. It made its first canon appearance in Skeleton Crew.
