[July Release] Mako class Mech
🕑 Added 2022-06-30 15:30:37 +0000 UTC[Edit 7/5/22: Mako pre-supports are live on CG&T. This includes the additional lower leg, and drone/weapon fixes. If you haven't you should re-download at this point to make sure everything's up to date.
If you get any error issues from lychee ignore them as always. I've tested everything at this point with no issues~
Next up, sneaky mechs.

[Edit 7/3/22: The Mako kit should be making its way up on CG&T now. Noting this is just the base files, I still need to get the test prints done before I upload the presupported sets. There's a lot of options to this kit so the build guide just covers the basics for this one with a handful of example assemblies.
If you have any issues or the files not showing up, the usual "Check for new items" button on your CG&T downloads page should pull them in. I've also removed the download all button as I don't think that will ever work with any of my releases xD. As always give it a bit of time as the traffic this generates usually causes the servers to lag.

Alrighty! First month back from leave, and the Mako kit is out to Hades/Atlas for supporting. I'm gonna take a day or two to recoup from that crunch, put the assembly guide together, and everything should be up on CG&T by the 3rd-4th of the month as usual~ This set will probably go live without the supported files as I'm not sure if Hades will be able to get those wrapped before then (IRL Job stuff), but once I have them back and tested, I'll make another announcement for when those get added~
For folks that have been asking me, the Mako kit is not an upgrade to the lionfish kit, in the same way that the Koi.v2 or Archerfish.V2 are. These won't replace the lionfish and it is its own set.
Now, this is a fairly chunky kit at around 60pieces give or take, with most of them being interchangeable with the existing koi kit with no need for scaling. All of the weapons should work with any existing undermount slot, (with the exception of the 'Koma's undermount slots) But I do think that they're probably getting a bit heavy for the current magnet set up. I'd recommend N52's here. 2mm x 2mm on the undermount and weapons, with 3mm x 3mm in Reilly's backpack, and stacked 2mm x 2mm in Reilly's drones. (on Reilly's renders: There are no curly clear bits included, they'd be way to fragile to print. Just heat bend some 2mm acrylic~)
I'm excited to see what kind of nifty combos can be made, and I can't wait to see them printed xD
Next month (August) is going to be an eclipse model that isn't just a 1:1 of a certain other model, and like the Mako, I'll be working some new sneaking suits off of that~ This should be the last of the redux kits as everything else is pretty much in line with my current aesthetic. Should be a rad builder and I'm hyped to do some fancy stealth effects on this one~

Yeah everything I release has a raw fileset, presupported, and in most cases preplated set. Usually the presupported sets are compressed into a .zip archive and need to be extracted via winrar/7zip/or similar~
Chuck Winterborne
are these presupported? i cant seem to find the files. I see the preplated file but everything else seems to be unsupported. Am I missing something?
Micah
I believe they are DEFINiTELY NOT XV9 Crisis battlesuits or Shas'o R'alai (Forge World models, both of them)
Jan Ludwig
Very nice model. Someone an idea as what kind of Battlesuit I could use them in 40k? I would love to use them in gameplay.

I'm glad! I've been trying to make the kits more appealing/useable in different settings/mediums, so I'm glad that's coming through then~ With the discount, once CG&T is linked to your patreon account, or you've made the account with the same email, it'll automatically apply the 50% off to all the models in my shop~ ~Pipes

FINALLY I can subscribe!! I found your Patreon early last month, when you were on hiatus (hope you’re feeling better), and it was a looong wait until July 1st. I want to let you know that your models have a larger appeal than just proxies. I’m not a big fan of noseless blue monks in a gothic grimdark universe, so that’s not what brought me here. I’m incredibly excited, however, to be adding your beautiful models to my cyberpunk universe! Your work is really fantastic. Now, where do I find that discount code so I can go buy everything I’ve missed? 😉

I asked on another Channel, to see a Certian Commander in these suit, Girl the Shield the BLM Drones, the experimental weapon. seeing your attention to those details made me sub and Im broke, but i truly appreciate you!
Paul Schwieters
Awesome, i am amazed how every month you keep turning out these interesting and beautiful miniatures. I don’t even play the grim dark game atm. ^^

Ohhh I can't wait to have this kit to hit the printer
Patrick Bell
Painting? what is this 'Painting' you speak of? :D
Poyper
This is my struggle with actually painting any of my things that I've printed xD
Patrick Bell
another addition to the ever growing list of personal projects i'd like to print but never have time to.. awesome work

Oh man that's going to rock to run off this weekend.
