One of literally dozens of Five Star Stories fans in the west, I build weird robot models and get up to a lot of stuff I don't post about much here. I regret selling my old Blood Bowl set. Ask me about Awakening of Faith in the Mahayana.

Was recently made aware of an incredible collection of Japanese experimental gig flyers from 1975 to 1994. Lots of beautifully hand drawn/handwritten graphics, treated photographs, and collaging. Link to the full archive in the replies.

Scanning another batch of Japanese movie programs and I have to post this drawing from the one for Rocky Horror Picture Show by Mayumi Mitome of Tim Curry

An illustration of Tim Curry by mangaka/movie critic Mayumi Mitome. Mr. TIM CURRY!! is displayed in English.

damn we have some real mecha sickos here on bluesky. stay tuned for my other works in progress which include a shitload of Five Star Stories kits, Suyata's Armored Nut Group, and a box of 1/72 figures labeled "SPACE BATTLES SET 2" from "ORION PRESENTS: DARK DREAMS STUDIO"

Also feeling intensely some kind of way about how I have done a whole bunch of weird different stuff in my life in a way that can feel adventuresome in the right light and also feel like sort of a fuckup in the not so right light. eight worldy winds my worldly ass

doing new miniatures still messes with me because a) i learned to paint on old timey, far less detailed minis and b) mostly i'm stippling much larger surfaces on robot models and boy howdy does the technique and scale i work at there not translate to tiny, already-detailed miniatures

Fun fact, it's ok to not be perfect at things you like doing. Its ok to make mistakes, or to be content with your current abilities. Internet comments are often "you dont know what you're doing" and "man this sucks" but it's OKAY. You don't have to optimise and min max things you like doing.
