This is certainly an interesting blaster and I can't say it's my favorite but I'm committed to doing all the variants! 

Modeled by our friend Sergey Kolesnik you'll find the blaster has been broken down into 20 individual parts for high detail printing. 

This blaster definitely feels Sci-Fi with the pron...

[New Files!] A collection of Halo helmet accessories have been added to the August Specialist rewards!

Not gonna lie these files were made for selfish purposes so we could use some of them in our own build, but I think you'll all like them a lot!

[New Files!] The Remastered Phase 2 Heavy and Officer have been added to the August Specialist rewards!

[New Files!] The Bo Katan figurine Pose 3 has been added to the July Specialist rewards!

We're slowly finishing off all these renders - just one to go! As you can imagine the figures are very detailed so it can take a bit to finish each render.

I'm very excited to show you all the Sabine Wren helmet from the upcoming Ahsoka show! The whole design team worked tirelessly on this helmet from the moment the references dropped from SDCC!

[New Files!] The Death Trooper Prototype helmet has been added to the July Patreon rewards!

A while ago I got commissioned to make this custom Death Trooper Prototype helmet by ArmoryShopProps after the customer reached out to them but never heard back.

By popular request I'm going to be doing some more figurines of the badass ladies in the Star Wars and Halo universes, starting with Bo Katan! 4 poses are planned in total but each one takes a while to render this beautifully so they'll be spread out throughout the next few weeks.

 She comes in 1:6 scale and includ...
