Progress Update
So… I must confess, Bethesda kidnapped me for the last 2 months: I was tied to my PC playing Skyrim rather than designing. I’d apologize, but… Skyrim! That said, I’ve been making steady progress over the last month on what may prove to be the next release, the B-Wing. There is a lot of work [...]
Dragon!
It has taken a while, from concept, to prototype, to textures, but I’m confident enough now to announce a new long-term project; a 1:50 (1:35 if you prefer) dragon. It will be fully poseable (not articulated) and be made available in a variety of colours. I expect the project to last until next year sometime, [...]
RAF Caps
The Airman’s cap and the Officer’s cap are now complete. I have the uniform dress jacket to complete, as well as the floatation device and then I will begin the process of prototyping, which should hopefully begin by the weekend. Depending on time I may design a greatcoat to complete the uniform set. Regardless, all [...]
Seat-Type Parachute Harness
A long time since updates, I apologize. I’ve lost two computers, a video card and a power supply in the last two months, so I lost a little momentum. Nevertheless, I’ve finished designing the seat-type parachute harness (the only harness that will be released with the RAF set). I may make other parachute harness types [...]
WWII Pilots: RAF
I’ve slowly been working on a new series of figures, which will comprise the most of the pilots from the WWII era. I’ve started on the RAF, partly because I’m partial to the Allies and partly because there is a paper Spitfire I’m eager to build. The design is going well thus far. As with [...]
Male Protagonist V1.5
Coming soon (perhaps as soon as a few weeks), the first release to the updated version of the Male Protagonist (1.5) will be coming. This change incorporates some of the successes of the female figure, by modifying the hip/leg join and changing the feet from a box shape to a more curved and natural shape. [...]
B-Wing: Progress
With the Maiden and the Courser complete, I’ve promised myself that I would focus on completing the B-Wing. This is a massive project, and may halt all other design for the remainder of the year, depending on how I progress. Nevertheless, here are some WIP shots of the detailed cockpit and corrected Pod nose. I’m [...]
Courser – Saddle and Rider
I’ve put the finishing touches on the Courser figure, adding a saddle and rider. I expect to complete the texture modification tonight with instructions and uploads early this coming week. The rider figure confirms that the female design works fairly well at 1:50. Enjoy! Tirick
Courser – Preliminary Shots
I finished the first print candidate, and aside from some texture tweaking required (mostly to darken the shaded areas and better detail the eyes), it worked out quite well. I’ll be putting a rider on it over the weekend as well as preparing instructions for a release next week. Enjoy! Tirick
Courser – Textures Complete
The base textures for the Courser are now complete, and ready for a print-test. I expect to have in a few days a final prototype assembled and ready for final tweaking and instructions. Certainly by Mid-May expect a release! The Courser will be released with several base colour combinations, in addition to a medieval style [...]
