The first of my Holiday extras~ (Granted these were more of a when they're done they're done kinda thing, just worked out conveniently like this~)
I reached out to my friends over at DeadlyPrint Studio for some more work, this time an effects package for the Narwhal heavy weapons platform~ There's a handful of rad piece...

Wrapped up the base for the Arowana Pattern armor set with comparison to the original and classic ThiccFish Mech. I also ran a few test prints to make sure the whole thing can be armored/un-armored (if you choose to build it with magnets).
I'll be starting on the Marlin variant of the armor and then all the add-o...
After getting all of the Cichlid stuff squared away I've been puttering along on the Base frame for the Commander Redux. This whole suit's like the sturgeon except at the scale of a fleet commander. A base frame that can be built off of for any number of armor configurations.
At this point I'm just getting into the upper l...
(UPDATE: 12/08/21, all files are now up on CG&&T get out there and make some wild ships~
Please re-download the Fugi fileset and the Heavy 'Koma set as a few things needed to be tweaked)

I'm running a bit late on finalizing Decembers fileset. There are a lot of files to or...
Good morning! It seems December's just begun and the cold came with it. So let's see what's on the docket for December:
Firstly from CG&T:
*Hello! We are seeing multiple people who aren't having their patron discount applied because their pledges for the month are still pending on Patreon's end. We hope ...

I'll have an actual December post up when I get back home and can render on my main tower. I've been working on putting together some turntable style videos, and plan to incorporate that into my final render sets~
And finally I've got all the variants together for December. I have most of the pre-supports back already,...
Heyyo~ I'm running a black Friday 50% sale on my CG&T store till the 26th end of day (EST) if anyone needs an excuse to get into the good mech, but has been putting it off and isn't a patron already~

Working through the 3rd of 4 variants for the TriggerFish Frame~ This one still needs some framework where the add-on pieces meet the original frame, and then some detailing passes, but it's getting close enough that I wanted to put a render set up for it. This one's based on an old kitbash that I absolutely adore, and needed...

I think I'm about done with this variant of the TriggerFish (Cichlid Carrier Pattern)~
I've got two more variants I want to finish for this month for Decembers release alongside this one. One for the Calappas that will be a little less serious, but I think will still see some use, and then a heavy missile variant to round...
Starting off with the First WIP set for December~ I'm working through a couple variants for the Triggerfish base frame, like the Sturgeon, will have a couple of options to accommodate. The hope with this is to modify the current triggerfish base frame as little as possible so things won't need to be reprinted. But I might rel...
2021-11-12 06:15:18 +0000 UTC View PostSo somehow we broke the importer for the patreon bit of CG&T for all of PiperMakes. This was causing an issue where CG&T stopped pulling the updated info for the month for anyone after this break, causing this months files to not show up for (mosttly) new subs. This should for the most part be resolved now.
If you'...
Good morning you lovely lovely folks~
This one took me a bit longer to get everything tested, but The Narwhal Heavy Weapons Platform is live on CG&T~ As you all know this is a kit I've been cracking away at for two months and to finally see the whole thing come together in the physical has been such an incredible ad...

There's a lot I could write here for this kit. How it had a kinda rough beginning design wise, or how pleased I am with the final xD This one was an effort! As you all know, I've been working over the last two months on what is my largest model kit to date!
This is the Narwhal Heavy Weapons Platform. A unison of ...
This will, I think, be the last WIP update for the Narwhal. I'm getting real close to being done with the kit, and I'm getting pretty jazzed about it~
I.C.B.B.M's (inter-continental ballistic butter missiles) are slotted for two 3x3mm magnets and come in two flavors, mounted on a ball jointed arm for some amount of pose...

I was approached by PrintMinis a little bit after I got out from the hospital, about possibly doing a mini swap for October~ Now I'm almost always up for mini swapping, I think it's a great way to expose existing patrons to something new, and it's also...

Gonna use the pods for a different model set, so I moved the blueberries into the head with the AI core, which, doubles as a sweet hot tub~ The top will be held in place with magnets, and I'll have something modeled to work as a pull tab. I'll be replacing the pods with the two mirrored heavy missile mounts, while the smaller...

Starting off the First WIP with the progress so far on the Narwhal. I've got most of it blocked out, and had someone suggest the pilots be secondary to the main drone, like the manned gun turrets on older planes. I really liked this idea and kinda took off with it.
And now the kinda lore I've got in my head is that the dro...
Last month of gumroad codes. Then it's all CG&T from here for file dsitribution.
100% off part.1 of the Narwhal and the 'Koma pattern Calappas:

Octobers filesets are now live on CG&T and gumroad.
Alrighty~ Septembers over. And now it's October. And I don't know how that happened.
If you haven't made a CG&T account (comicsgamesandthings.com) You should get on it, because come the end of October I will be completely moving my Patreon file Distribution over there as per my last main announcement. It's ...

Hey y'all, I finally have the lower half of the Narwhal where I want it to be, and started throwing together a secondary file set to go along with it. I have a few details left to model but consider these an alternative to the koi. Same undermounted weapon models, so if you're familiar with the koi's magnetization this is the...

Big drones with big guns. I'm just throwing bits in and seein what shapes I like before I start the actual modeling of the body, and so far the silhouette of this one is really doin it for me.
I do want to have the two cockpits be accessible via a hatch on top, so no fancy petal opening here and it'll be top down viewi...

First WIP for the QuadMech weapons platform. The current working name on my files is "Narwhal", but Queen Calappa's also been thrown around a bit~
This is a rough WIP as there's pretty obviously some chunks that are just, not detailed at all, but it conveys, I think, the direction I'm taking this one at least from the...
So I really wanted to make this months file set pop because last month wasn't allllllll that great, and I've always wanted to do something like this, so around the beginning of August I reached out to Deadly Print Studio with some ideas I had, and if they were a feasible thing to work on, and after some back and forth going o...

Alrighty, more September announcements~
So first off the elephant in (my) room. This whole project has been a learning experience for me, and those that have been here since the beginning know this better then anyone, and I think, granted some kind of Force Majeure, I've got it settled. For the release of the next mech ...

Another month, another set of files~ But unlike last month, which was an unmitigated disaster, I bring new things, and not hospital food, but before all that, the usual announcements, which is mostly gumroad stuff now~
This is the last couple of days for getting the Base Sturgeon Kit/Koi kit/Monopose Hindsight/and the ...
