[May Release] Sturgeon Frame v2 Updates
🕑 Added 2023-05-01 03:39:04 +0000 UTC(Edit May/05/2023: All of the pre-supported files are up for the Sturgeon/Kaluga/Beluga. I've got the plates on the printers currently, but everything should be good here now~
~Pipes)
First off I want to start with a thanks to everyone for being patient with this release set, I know not everyone like re-releases, but I wanted something a little bit low impact after the move especially with a bit of a constricted time frame~ And I think this should prove to still be a pretty rad source of bits. And for folks that don't have the Sturgeon/Kaluga/Beluga, then this is a heck of a release xD
Out of the 3 the Sturgeon in general received the most updates, followed by the Kaluga, and then the Beluga which basically gets an honorable mention (in that I didn't actually change much on it, besides a swap of the hip, because I wasn't intending to include it but here we are xD. But I still think it looks really cool xD, ahead of its time.)
The main weapons on the Sturgeon, as well as on the Kaluga fit into a larger style heavy undermount versus the previous which kinda locked you into one. I've also included a set of 3 pre-posed arms for the held weapon poses for the sturgeon as that was one of the more difficult poses to get right. I'll be following this with the AnglerGeist rework next month, as well as a few other offerings in the final month for things like the Koi/ArcherFish. I've also added in a few odds and ends to give the units at least a little bit of diversity, and I imagine there will be all sorts of different assemblies and kitbashes that I'm looking forward to seeing~
With that, this brings the 3 into the current aesthetic. Undermounts, and balljointed shoulders abound~
As always the Raw filesets will be up around the 3rd or 4th of the month, with the supported files following when I get them back from Atlas (I already have the base sturgeon back and tested, so that should be up the same day. But the Kaluga/Beluga will be a bit after that.
Next month I'm going to be re-working the AnglerGeist as the last of the re-worked models. I'm gonna have a little bit of fun with that one, as the AnglerGeist was always kinda heralded as the real start of my original deviation. Gotta do some neat stuff with it. I might also try to get back into streaming with it. If you're interested in that: https://www.twitch.tv/pipermakes Usually just laid back modeling streams to lo-fi (or whatever's copyright free xD)
Thanks as always,
~Pipes
(This release will replace the current CG&T listings, and will be re-listed on CG&T with new updated listings. These listings will include a pack that has all three, or three separate packs. If you already have the three kits. If you already have one of the filesets on CG&T I will be updating the previous listings with the updated sets.)

Poyper
Yeah, it can take a little bit for CG&T to sync up~ ~Pipes
Tony Diaz
i just re joined and its making buy the packs? do i just need to wait??
Aaron Fagerlund
nope! i just built the base sturgeon, the zip folder had everything i needed
CaptainKeen
It has the biggest missile pods of any of the medium combat mecha, or can be equipped with railguns.
Poyper
Nope, this replaced the v1 for the sturgeon/Kaluga/beluga entirely~ you can build all three from this set.
Fraser Gordon
Do you need the V1 to be able to make these?
Will Nexii
I love these re-releases, I'm not sure which the archerfish is that you mentioned, if it's for a situation that's a crisis or for hazardous situations or if it's a broader side of things? I'd love to see a v2/v3 for critical situations, i love the originals for the critical role suits going back to the original cults version but would love to see them get some rerelease love
Daniel Sniadoski
In my personal archive, I’ve saved the original set under a V1 sub folder. All the new versions I’m saving under a V2 sub folder. Because I’m a pack rat.
Poyper
So long as this was on CG&T, yes. The original listings are just hidden, but have the updated files under them now~ ~Pipes
Bacour
If I had the original files, but had not downloaded them, would I still be able to do so?
Poyper
Nope, the original listings for them on cg&t have been hidden, and the files replaced with the updated sets~
Bacour
*sale
Bacour
Hey, I know this may sound weird but, are you going to keep the originals up for dale?
Aaron Fagerlund
also same. Seriously, these are fantastic! Between all the different models, interchangeability, and scaling, Im probably gunna be selling off my plastics for these. Great work!
Dromsel
same
htns
speaking as a new patron, I'm super stoked to get the old stuff...
Riley Sacdpraseuth
Ah, that sucks.
Humbleion
Oh my heart would explode if the koi and archers got zaku like shoulder armor to. Thank you for the amazing work!
Poyper
Due to the rate at which my files are shared/pirated I will no longer be supporting Cults/Gumroad. I thought I could quietly update the archer/koi on them, but they still got shared with those sites as the source downloads.
Riley Sacdpraseuth
Will the gumroad listings be updated as well?
Joshua
Love all your designs! Can't wait for the future.
Johnathan Chambers
I’m going to have to start taking advantage of the 50% off discount to catch up.
Johnathan Chambers
I was introduced to Piper when you collabed with Crucible of Games with the sturgeon V1. I have hesitated to pull the trigger until last month. I wish I started sooner.
Bex Ciantelli
I don't remember if I ever grabbed Beluga or Kaluga... But I think I bought the sturgeon a bit after joining. Any which way, this looks like it should be a fun addition.
Kyle Bentley
The Kaluga is the kit that made me join the Patreon, so any improvement to an already awesome kit sounds good to me. I never got around to buying the Beluga, so double win!
