[July Release] Reinforcements add on kit
🕑 Added 2023-07-01 03:44:44 +0000 UTC[Edit: The ChucklingSquids Pre-Supports are up on PWG And that's it. That's all the fishmech, we're done here~
There was also an a small fix on the PosedArms_SingleArm_Pose4 but for some reason, the sphere wasn't actually there. A remodel of the area fixed it, and I've re-uploaded the files to the reinforcement packs. Specifically replacing the RawOBJs_Rifles_PosedArms.zip and the SupportedOBJs_Rifles.zip in the Koi/Mako reinforcement pack.]
Alright, last one~ I really just kinda wanted to have fun with this one, and while I didn't get quite as much done as I had originally planned, I still think I managed to get a bunch of things wrapped up that I'd been wanting to get to for a while now xD
I'm gonna kinda go through the different bits and Bobs based around the base unit (if they have one)
Goby Leader: A little se of preposed goby to lead your units~ they've got damaged or un-damaged capes and come in 2 poses. Some of these pieces should be compatible with previous Goby pieces, although given the nature of the monopose stuff I'm not sure to what extent.
Mako/Koi bits:
First things first, I tweaked some of the original torsos to work with a more current hip, that you see in most of the renders here.
Secondly I worked up a torso specifically for a Ring style piece (god I love the ring styled stuff, expect more of that with the VC.) Although the Ring isn't necessary to the torso, just a nice add-on~ This should work with all previous Mako thruster packs, and I've also included a slightly updated version of those thrusters as well (also backwards compatible).
Thirdly, I added some up-scaled Disk knee legs . With one being styled after the normal leg ball joint (with it's own foot type) and one that's similar to the Odonata legs, with optional little blade pieces~
Fourthly, I went through and modeled up a handful of Rifle esque weapons for the Mako/Koi theses should for the most part be cross compatible. I'm not sure on the held poses being up-scalable for other frames as the shoulder width varies a bit, but all of the one handed poses should be usable with the different frames and some scaling~. This also includes an Undermounted piece so you can use the rifle barrels as undermounted weapons too if you want.
Speaking of undermounts, I also modeled up an undermount weapons drone. I really like the concept of offloading main weapon systems to drones, so this was a long time coming. They should work with *most* of the main undermount weapons, but I can think of a few that wouldn't (like the Mako undermount weapons) I also added a lil chainsaw, cause they're like a tiny lil' pochita, c'mon.
And Fithly (totally a word) I put together a lil' light skimmer bike for the Goby. It's got a few variations to play around with, and I think looks to be pretty useful over the past variants I've done (that I've never really been happy with xD)
It should be a pretty rounded out pack, and each thing should have a pre-plate depending. I want to try and include the pieces so that you can make most of the things rendered without needing a past kit, and you wouldn't be able to assemble like, a standard Mako off of this add on,so overall this will be greatly enhanced with the koi/mako kits~
I've got one more thing I'm working on, but it's not done yet but I'm really trying to finish it up, it's something I've wanted to make for a while now, but wasn't ever really able to, be it skill with fusion, or just, it didn't really fit in with anything mainline. But I'll throw a lil Teaser image at the end, and then later on I'll update this with the final pics.
As always, everything should be up on the 4th of July, and is currently being pre-supported by Atlas, and I have a few things I want to specifically test, but once everything's tested I'll have it up on PWG~
See you guys next with the VoidCrafted~

I'd like to see a speederbike expanded to be a full proxy for a piranha. Those speeders are way cooler than the gw ones.
Thomas G.
There is a Blender Addon to batch import OBJ files. It is called blender-batch-import-wavefront-obj on GitHub.
Poyper
The missile piece and the shoulder undermount slot are specifically from the TEOTH set scaled up 1.3, but everything else is in the set, there's even a preplate that pretty much builds the rifle one. ~Pipes
Hendrik B.
Those rifle Kois look amazing *~* If I want to build them with rifles and rockets like in the picture is this pack enough or do I need additional sets?
Tom Drew
Yeah, Blender is great because it allows mass import of .stl and can assemble most of the files on its own...but the .OBJ files are a pain in the ass. Trying to build the big Mech and its going to take forever to import one .Obj at a time.
William Dotson
"Code recieved" lol
Serosaken
You can pump up the Orca by ~1.4x to get it to Tuna size! Then kitbash the arms and guns. PM has graced us with enough lovely bits to do so. (I'll share a pic of my version somewhere when it's complete.. but my Greater Good forces are currently not 1st priority with 10th rn)
Serosaken
"Space Elves"
Serosaken
Meshmixer or Blender would both be choices, with Blender allowing posing.
irgo
Try 3d Builder! I usually put the pieces there to have an idea of how I want my models to look like when building. It's very, very useful!
Tom Drew
Does anyone have a program they use to auto assemble some of these...I love the minis, but the building is a pain in the ass.
William Dotson
PM any chance you could tell me what faction your thinking VC might work with? or if it is even in the grim dark universe?
Poyper
There is not, no.
Patreon
Is there any way to download all the content in a single file?
Marko Vinu
Slowly running out of fish to fry before The Tuna arrives :3
ApexInTheCircle
Seriously, your kits are so damn cool. The fact that almost every single part in a kit can work with other kits is just amazing.
Poyper
Heck yeah! I'm gonna keep on keepin on with the next guys (and occassionally the random fishy boi~) ~Pipes
Vandre
Thanks for the wild ride this past long while Pipes! Fishymechbois were what single-handedly tipped me over into the 3D Printing hobby. Your work & design evolution has been ever exciting to follow, and nobody comes close to the meticulous modularity of your releases even today. Keep rockin it Pipes!
Michael Forston
Those pre-plates are awesome!!! Absolutely love those.
KillMeForPrizes
These area all 100% awesome bits, thank you!
Patrick Bell
ahh perfect thanks, Haven't gotten around to printing TEOTH yet(She is an amazing kit, just stuck behind a bit of a backlog), hence I missed those gorgeous missile pods, not gonna lie, they're going on a whole lotta weapon mounts in the near future. and the Koi/Mako rifle pose weapons, *chefs kiss* been hoping and praying for something exactly like this for ages!!! Amazing work as always :)
Poyper
TEOTH's kit~ if you upscale her included weapons by 1.3 they work on standard undermount slots. I like *a lot* of her weapon models more then the previous, and I wanna stick the missile pods on everything x"D
Patrick Bell
The shoulder missile pods you've modelled on the Koi in these images, are they new in this pack or from a previous pack that I've missed somehow?
B. Griffith
Everything is cool, but those hoverbikes... WOW. Top tier.
Stephen Johnson
That goby speederbike thing is wicked, nice 👌
