Learning on the job and hoping not to press the wrong button, Space Crew Mechanic Miniature by Papsikels from We Print Miniatures brings a touch of humour and humanity to your Sci-fi tabletop games. With tools in hand and a slightly panicked expression, this miniature captures the essence of a rookie thrust into deep-space duties they’re barely qualified for. Maybe they napped through most of space engineering school, or maybe they just learned to wing it - but now they’re out there with the crew, trying to keep the ship together with tape and hope.
The sculpt is full of detail, from the cluttered toolbelt to the nervous stance, making this figure a fun challenge for painters and a great narrative piece. Image details show a practical flight/engineer suit with padded knees, gloves, a shoulder strap, and a headset with goggles pushed up—perfect for hangar-bay repairs, starship maintenance scenes, or a gritty cyberpunk spaceport. The forward-facing pose reads like an “uh oh” moment at the console, ideal as an NPC, objective marker, or campaign character.
Whether you’re building a crew for derelict-ship missions, Starfinder-style adventures, or any hard-sci-fi skirmish, this is a standout resin miniature for storytelling on the table. It also pairs well with tool carts, engine-room terrain, and other resin miniatures in sci-fi crews and wasteland tech bands. True to Papsikels’ original design, Space Crew Mechanic Miniature is available in 28mm, 32mm, 35mm, and 55mm scales, ideal for Starfinder, or any campaign that appreciates the underdog in a high-tech world.
