Among the clatter of machinery and the ever-present hum of deep-space travel, the Space Crew Smoker Miniature by Papsikels from We Print Miniatures offers a rare moment of quiet rebellion. Standing at the edge of the boarding ramp, cigarette loosely held between his fingers, he is the embodiment of calm in the chaos. This Sci-fi miniature brings something many characters lack: a sense of time-worn reality, the kind of detail that makes a figure feel truly lived in. Whether he is a starship pilot, the gruff technician who keeps the engines alive, or the steady hand behind a high-risk mission, this miniature adds depth and atmosphere to any Sci-fi tabletop setting.
Dressed in rugged, functional gear, the Space Crew Smoker Miniature tells a story before he ever enters combat. His clothing is marked by wear, practical yet layered with visual interest for painters looking to show off weathering and fabric textures. The folds in his trousers, the straps and buckles on his vest, and the slight tilt of his head all suggest a man who has seen plenty and is not easily shaken. He might be waiting for orders, stalling before the next jump, or simply enjoying the last drag before the chaos begins. Whatever his backstory, his posture conveys a strong presence and seasoned confidence.
This miniature is ideal for players who want to inject a little realism and character into their squads. While many miniatures are posed mid-action or weighed down with weaponry, the Space Crew Smoker stands apart as someone who has already done the fighting. He brings nuance and storytelling opportunities to Necromunda, Starfinder, or any narrative-rich Sci-fi game. Perhaps he is the only survivor of a previous mission, brought in for his expertise. Perhaps he is the crew member who never volunteers but always delivers when it counts. His appearance lends itself equally to player characters, NPCs, or mission objectives in narrative campaigns.
True to the artistry of Papsikels’ original design, this miniature is packed with subtle detail, making it a satisfying project for painters of all skill levels. From the grain of the cigarette to the folds of fabric and the creases around his gloves, there is ample opportunity to showcase skill with shading and highlight. His expression is cool and nonchalant, giving him an unmistakable attitude that will make him stand out on any tabletop.
Available in 28mm, 32mm, 35mm, and a striking 55mm scale, the Space Crew Smoker is ready to fit a variety of settings and collections. Whether you are adding him to a hardened boarding party or placing him in the middle of a makeshift starport scene, he brings character and grit. Perfect for hobbyists looking to break up a line of battle-ready models with something more contemplative or for storytellers looking to add personality to their missions.
Just be prepared for table talk about the cigarette – he is clearly not one to follow regulations, and that only makes him more interesting.
