[New Files!] The Helldiver Vertical Helmet Stand has been added to the February Specialist rewards!

While working late on dyeing all these Helldiver visors I had the great suggestion from a Discord member (thanks Taylor!) to make the Helldiver Skull logo for the Vertical Helmet Stand set!

Knocked it out quick and added it to the Helmet Stand files in the Instant Exclusives folder. Uses the 7/8" diameter rod with an al...

[New Files!] The Helldivers 2 Hero of the Federation helmet has been added to the February Specialist rewards!

The third Helldivers helmet makes it to the February rewards! This one is one of my personal favorites so you can expect an armor set around the corner as well! We also had a set of propaganda posters made up by our graphic designer Jordan, I think he did such a great job!

Included in the helmet files:

[New Files!] The Helldivers 2 Champion of the People helmet has been added to the February Specialist rewards!

More Helldivers 2 for you guys if you can't tell what my current obsession is!

This one shares a lot of features with the Tactical helmet so it wasn't too much trouble to convert it.

Like the Tactical helmet it includes:
- Default scaled to fit up to 24" circumference heads
- Includes Assembled, Casting, a...

[New Files!] The Helldivers 2 helmet has been added to the February Specialist rewards!

After many many requests and Terminids quashed, the B-01 Tactical Helldiver's helmet has made it to the Patreon!

I've been playing this game pretty relentlessly the last few days and just knew we had to do the classic helmet! It's got the full suite of features so lets dive into the details.

- Default scaled to fi...

Even MORE Original Trilogy love! The Tie Pilot helmet has been remastered and the armor built from scratch as part of the February Specialist rewards!

The helmet has received some improvements in the form of additional separation, pre-cut parts for smaller printers, magnets for the faceplate, and bubble lens alternative...

[New Files!] The DH-17 Blaster has been added to the February Specialist rewards!

Another classic from the Original Trilogy has joined the February Specialist rewards! I had this request last week and luckily Sergey Kolesnik already had a model on hand! 

I made a modification to add a 1/4" diameter wooden rod through the center for support and structure. The model also includes a few different o...

[New Files! The Snowtrooper Spartan custom helmet has been added to the February Specialist rewards!

It's been a while since we've done one of these but I'm in a snowy mood so the Snowtrooper Spartan helmet, from art by Wernissage, has made it to the February rewards!

The helmet comes in both assembled and pre-separated versions. The pre-separated parts  fit together with interlocking tabs. Also included are pre-c...

[File Updates] The A-Wing and Titanfall R-201 Rifle have both been updated!

I've added a floating magnet version of the 1:48 scale A-Wing along with a link to the magnet system used (same as the AAT tank)

I was notified the R-201 rifle was also missing a file in the upload so I've fixed that and uploaded a new version.

Be sure to re-download both file sets to get the latest version!

[New Files!] The ESB Snowtrooper Armor and Helmet has been added to the February Specialist rewards!

Some more OT love as the Imperial Snowtrooper makes it's way to the February rewards! A big thank you to Gary Howe from the 501st Blizzard Force detachment for help getting this armor set 501st compliant!

The helmet features an assembled and solid version, along with the pre-separated and pre-cut parts for smaller print...

[New Files!] The Ace of Spades Destiny hand cannon files have been added to the February Specialist rewards!

The iconic hand cannon from Destiny has made it to the February Specialist rewards! Unfortunately this project sat on the back burner for a while before I decided to move forward on other projects so it doesn't have any functionality to it. It will definitely still make an amazing prop!

The center barrel has a hole cut ...

[New Video!] See how we made the levitating Halo Artifact and how I tortured Jamie with it!

For those of you who didn't see the new video yet, we made the levitating Keystone Artifact from the files released yesterday!

I also issued Jamie a special challenge when making it. Watch to see him suffer!

[New Files!] The floating Halo Keystone Artifact has been added to the February Specialist rewards!

Our build video showing how to make it float: https://youtu.be/ieJXnhimths

With the debut of Halo Season 2 we wanted to make some cool Halo themed props. We also wanted to make one that floats! This is kind of an involved build since the magnetic displ...

I'm very excited to show you guys this tank as it's been a long time in R&D! Despite it's small scale it has quite an exciting assortment of features - including actual levitation!!

Let's begin with part separation - each part has been thoughtfully separated for the easiest printing. The included Ba...

[New Files!] The Proton Blaster from Star Wars Galaxies has been added to the February Specialist rewards!

Ever wonder what a Star Wars G36 looks like? Well the Proton Blaster from Star Wars Galaxies is it! This model from Sergey Kolesnik should be the perfect addition to any custom Mandalorian or other Galactic Denizen!

I cut a 1/4" hole through the center of the gun for some reinforcement. You should need about a 25" long ...

[New Files!] The SCUBA Clone Trooper Helmet has been added to the February Specialist rewards!

For a long time I said I'd never do this helmet but here we are. The SCUBA Clone Trooper is one of the ugliest Clone designs IMO but I won't discriminate - he'll still get an amazing design.

The helmet includes various assembled versions including:
Assembled Version
Casting Version
Filled and Solid Version

[New Files!] The Halo Infinite Bandit Rifle has been added to the January Specialist rewards!

I'm still trying to cram as much into January as I can for you guys and would be remiss if this lovely rifle didn't make it! The base rifle was modeled by our friend Sergey Kolesnik with some modifications of my own. 

This design takes our weaponry to the next level with working trigger, slide, and magazine! You'll...

You guys get 3-for-1 today! These 1:6 default scale busts work great in either SLA or FDM printing! I've included Bambu Studio project files for all 3 sliced at 200% scale that print out great on an FDM machine.

You might also be asking - "Hey that Shoretrooper bust looks pretty good, I wonder if the armor files are on ...

[New Files!] The Titanfall R-201 has been added to the January Specialist rewards!

(Sound On) As you can see we're stepping up the functionality on our FAKE and NON-FUNCTIONAL prop weapons! This took quite a bit of testing but we finally got the tolerances and mechanisms *just* right. The magazine is something we've done before using magnets but the functional slide was som...

Getting back into the swing of things I've got some great releas...
