[New Files!] The Halo Artaius helmet has been added to the April Specialist rewards!

I'm back from viewing the eclipse! It was truly a magical moment but I'm really glad to be back in the shop making stuff.

Hope you're all ready for one of the Tacti-cooliest Halo helmets around! While not my favorite Spartan helmet I can't deny it sure is unique and fun to look at.

[New Files!] The Desert Wolffe Helmet has been added to the April Specialist rewards!

With Commander Wolffe's appearance in the new season of Bad Batch I was inspired to make a model that's been on my to do list for a while: Desert Commander Wolffe!

The helmet went through quite a few tests to get the rangefinder as simple but effective as possible, you'll see it differs a little bit from the renders for...

Time to get back to business after the silliness yesterday! We're kicking off the month with another Helldiver helmet, this time it's the medic helmet aka the Bonesnapper!

[New Files!] The files for our next Life Sized build have been added to the April Specialist and Officer rewards!

In an effort to connect with a younger crowd we'll be spending the next 16 months making a life sized Rancor! He'll stand at over 22' tall so we'll probably have to buy a taller warehouse to put him in but I don't think you've ever seen a creature so cool. Griddy Rancor is also in the works!

Life sized and 1:48 scale fi...

It's time the Destiny fans got some love this month! The Iron Banner helmets have always been some of my favorite from the game, this one even reminds me a little bit of our logo! It comes from the Titan class (obviously the best) but if you want to see the others done as well just let me know!

[New Files!] The Halo Infinite Mirage helmet has been added to the March Specialist rewards!

For those enjoying the Season 2 Halo show these guys might seem a little familiar! They're based off the version in Halo Infinite but we might take some time and do a show version if you guys want.

[New Video!] We made Spartan Emile's Helmet and a tutorial on Hydrochroming!

In it we cover vacuum forming, dyeing, and then hydrochroming it! Hydrochroming was a new process for us and we're still not quite ready to offer them in our shop but it was a fun learning experience for us!

Enjoy the tutorial!
