That's good because the patreon message said my next payment due was may so I was worried i missed the drone jet.

Just in time xD ~Pipes

Just found out about you, hopefully I joined in time for this sweet ass drone.

A little bit shilly question. Have you evaluated at some point to split the part per materials? It could allow us to print the model with different color resins and not having to paint the models :) Even if they are more parts, could be like building a gunpla

Just checked this morning and it's solved iteself. Looks like the sustems just needed a bit to synch up as you indicated. Can't wait to get my Saturn 8k hooked up and start printing. Got a huge backlog to work on buying up to build an army for my hooved fish people communist army.

CG&T can sometimes take a bit to pull the pledge info through patreon. It's usually set up within an hour or so at the latest~ Right now I'm not seeing any of the pledge info on the cg&t account, so it just hasn't pulled it over yet~ ~Pipes

Just signed up and I'm not seeing any files available on the site. What am I doing incorrectly? Is it something that kight fix itself tomorrow?

Patttar

I know I want it lol make a three foot tall mini mech

Michael Purvis

Thanks for the reply, I did the maths based on the chart in the melee assembly guide and built a chart showing all % scaling. How can I share the picture with my fellow Pipeheads?

Minor complaint, the preplate for one of the punchbots has the hands mirrored from how they are in the render, so the drawn back fist is not actually a clenched fist when printed. Pretty fixable, of course.

Poyper

Unfortunately I don't really have a universal scaling guide. I recommend loading the pieces into something like blender and adjusting the scaling as need for your specific kitbash~

Michael Purvis

I have been playing about with my collection and want to mix and match, do you have something akin to a scaling chart a bit like you gave with the melee kit that will tell me how to scale? I suppose I could do the maths myself but maybe you've already done it. Something like Mako arms are1.x times bigger than Odonata etc.

These are fantastic!

Amazing, creative work. So glad I found your patreon! Everyone is doing grim dark blah ... Not enough mecha or robot work being done, so thank you!

Eric Orr

Looks crazy amazing

James Rowley

Great work!

Poyper

I might just actually paint one x'D Just gotta scale those grippers up~ it's all the same joints so it'll all technically work together~

I think PunchBot might be my most favorite thing ever, and I'm going to have to make one as soon as I can. I think the only thing that would be better is adding Punch capabilities to the Orca. I love me some melee mechs.

Poyper

It's all the same joint structure, so most stuff is compatible with some amount of scaling~

Patttar

these are awesome I dont suppose they may be compatible with previous models? I just got a bunch of them on cg&t and like the ones that can play well together

DerutaBlu

i just made an enforcer with a big fist... now i need to make another FOR EVEN COOLER FIST

Both the Punchbot and Pufferfish has some incredible silhouettes! And I am loving all of these wing and hardpoint options. A++ as usual.

Ooooh *********!

I believe you can find the name of it from the 1977 fish related song by the artist Heart. But Pipes can correct me if I'm wrong. ("You gonna burn, burn, burn, burn, burn it to the wick...")

Kyle Bentley

The drones look amazing, and the punchybots are a fun bonus!

Poyper

But the grabby hands already exist for the Commander model xD https://comicsgamesandthings.com/shop/manage/pipermakes/product/railfist-grabbyhands/ ~Pipes
