A few things coming today!
🕑 Added 2018-09-17 23:27:51 +0000 UTC Heya! Wall of text sorry...My lack of activity on here does not reflect the activity off... trust me :) I could sit here posting updates all day.. or I could be making new models.... :)
Even though my last week has been very tight with print jobs for customers, getting things organized for my daughters birthday today (11) and also practicing my face painting skills as I've been roped into painting some 300 kids faces at the local school fair at the end of September. (Yes you can laugh).. but I gotta say I think after a couple weeks practice I'm starting to get the hang of it (3D printed stencils come in SUPER handy ) Anyway amongst that I've still managed to get in a solid 5-6 hours a day making content.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
New renders and painting previews for joo!
Ah who doesn't love a painted render... All these little things take time, like the Luke Tauntaun scene I would have loved to paint the model in zbrush, but it's just 5 hours I couldn't spare and considering im printing and going to paint the real thing not a digital model, then it seemed even more futile.....
but.. moving forward I'm hoping to get a good uniform thing going so you should see a marked improvement in the preview images moving forward. As I said this is all just time... but the larger we grow the more content and better it gets, so please if you know any friends who may be interested let them know about the service. It works out much more cost effective than buying the models individually (ie they get access to gigabytes of releases even just for signing up)
----------------------------------------------------------------
So whats coming!!! tell me niow!!!
We have helmets, chess pieces, armor pieces.. you name it. Everything is done. Everything is ready to go. As they are uploading and i'm saving drafts, Im getting to spend some more time doing the the prettier things like the painted mesh you can see in the pic above.
Among the new models, first comment got the pic this one, which was Jim's suggestion for Juggernaught. A challenging one I will admit to include some arms/muscles and keep it support free, but we got there in the end. The base pieces for the chess will be up prob tomorrow or the next day - thats alot of stuff.. A new chess board also :)
Swords! yes.. Kurgans sword finally coming to you all (as scene in Highlander.. the briefcase version that connects into the built sword -this will be the only printed version of this available - if you can find a 3d modelled one please let me know i'd love to see it! I had little reference other than the movie (that i've seen 1287 times)
Conans sword will be after that, but that won't be until probably monday or tusday.
Helmets!
Starship Troopers, Batman Telltale Series Cowl / Shoulders, Ironman Mk3 helmet for the new upcoming suit (I want everyone to have that first so we can work on the mechanism for the facemask (Which will be addons as some may not want to mechanize the faceplate) Also a proper Kitsune Fortnite mask (as much as I don't play it I accept people do lol you can thank my daughter for that one..) And a couple more suprises..
Royalties and Selling Prints
A number of patrons have messaged me asking me about selling prints of models they have downloaded from here and/or if they need to pay royalties on sales. Very short answer, No.
Sell as many prints as you like - yes it's nice to get a credit for here or my facebook page, if helps me attract hopefully some more patrons etc, but it's not a requirement.
I do not ask for any royalty percentages unlike quite a few other prop designers out there and here on Patreon. The whole point of this place is so you can sell props and not be so out of pocket from the model you needed to purchase for that job - that the job becomes not worth it, or you need to commission 10 more just to break even after labor.
No, you pay a small amount every month and I give you as much as I can and to put it simply, the more people we get here the more models everyone gets because I can devote X amount more hours in a day to making content strictly for you all.
Thank you for reading! sorry for the big text, it's just easier than alot of posts cluttering up the place. Now i need to get back to work! I have some models to upload...
P.S if you got this far, there is a pic attached below, yes I did the chin piece and ears for the starship trooper helmet, and there is 2 versions...

I have made them completely separate pieces so I guess maybe try them in TPU? I have some black here I'll give them a shot and see how they come out

The ear pieces on the starship trooper helmet were a hard rubber
