Charity Mini: Limited Edition Zombie Hunter (MEP Miniatures)

[mepmakes]

Hi all, we've released a LIMITED EDITION CHARITY FIGURE as a tribute to my late friend Tom, who was taken from by cancer us last year.
It will only be available until the 13th of September 2020 and 100% of the donation amount goes to St Gemma's Hospice in Leeds, UK, where he spent his final days.

Available from the MEP Miniatures store:

Physical 28mm Miniature - HERE
Pre-Supported STL - HERE

What this is all about:

Tom was a geek, gamer and keeper of a literal mountain of un-painted models. We met in school and for over 2 decades he was a constant and effortless presence and influence in my life. It's gutting to think that his sarcasm, humour, his encyclopedic knowledge of pc parts, weapons, Sony products and sci-fi mythologies, his generosity and his advice now only exist as memories.

When he walked into hospital, Tom was concerned, but confident that he was in the right place to get fixed up. A few days later the doctors informed him it was aggressive final stage terminal bowel cancer - he was 34 years old. He was placed on a hot, dimly lit and noisy ward and he struggled. The bed was the wrong size, treatments were confused, he couldn't sleep and all hope of making it home one last time faded, it was soul-destroying.

But then finally, he was transferred to St. Gemma's, a peaceful, comfortable, well staffed hospice environment where he spent his final days reminiscing with friends, sipping cold drinks and listening to gentle rainfall in a garden just a few metres from the end of his bed.

This miniature is created from moments and memories, it was something I had to sculpt.
