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, [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Female Protagonist!
I need to come up with a catchier name for the release, but nevertheless, the final textures are complete and I will be moving on in the next day or so to the Print Candidate, which will proof the final fit and textures. I’ve assembled an array of pictures to demonstrate the available selection of [...]
Warkilt!
I have managed to steal a few hours this weekend, and I’ve finished the basics of the armour that will be included with the set. I still have vambrace and greaves to model, a new shield and a handful of new weapons/sheathes. The hair is also modeled. The 3d model does not do it justice; once [...]
Status update: Female Protagonist
I’ve completed the textures for the body of the female figure, and have started modeling and texturing the clothing components. The first figure will be a fantasy warrior maiden. As most cultural history includes very little in the way of historical examples, I will be basing the set on more contemporary influences. Obviously, a historically [...]
