This one was a bit of a lesson in getting back into zbrush more, I spent a couple of solid days making it and I think I will do more Marvel based statues and busts, I do enjoy making them and they don't usually take all that long. This one was born really from just seeing a cool poster (in the background of the pic above) and I thought that would make a cool model to print..

Enough Infinity war gloves... (yes if everyone really wants one we can do a a glove.. I just thought we'd all seen enough of them already..) but i'd rather focus on all the bits others haven't like the armor.

2018-05-24 07:25:06 +0000 UTC View PostSorry for the lack of posts/models this week guys, I cracked my wisdom tooth a couple weeks ago and the pain has become impossible to bare. I honestly have been on so many pills I've been half asleep all week. I have an appointment tomorrow to have it removed, and honestly that's probably why I'm up at 4am writing this..

2018-05-15 02:15:03 +0000 UTC View PostHi Everyone, this is a very quick note to say if you haven't printed the Tie Executioner helmet yet, I would hold off.
Adam has finished one, sanded painted etc and we both agreed that the front really needs a bit of work on the accuracy side of things. I do sincerely apologize to anyone who printed it and was not terribly happy with the accuracy. I tried to make it a one piece print at the front to make things easier, but turns out all t...

Ok, well after a 30 hour, 30cm high print, I can see what needs to be fixed with this model for all scale printing.
The skeletal bicep on the right arm neds thickening, the skull on the top needs a small repair job but other than that I am really happy with the way the piping in the chest printed. I procrastinated on the angle of that piping so much when I did it I was happy to see it printed with very few supports underneath.
So, i...

Firstly welcome to the new Patrons!
I thought it time for a new Terminator bust and when I saw Toshi_TNE's Arnold sculpt (not sure if you saw my Conan print on thingiverse) anyway this guy has a real knack for getting faces right! I saw his Arnold bust (free to download here( https://cults3d.com/en/users/Toshi_TNE/creation...

This print was something I made over the the course of a few months, an hour here, an hour there etc. Honestly it was just a sort of joke thing but cross-overs are pretty popular these days and wondered if I should prep this for printing? It's virtually ready, I just need to cut the polygon count down somewhat but other than that... lol I guess I'm just wondering if anyone would actually want to print it? It was made for printing so its not...

Just trying to get back into Zbrush, not doing too much in it just making little trinkety things for practice, most of my modelling I do in Blender but when it comes to surface detailing, it's hard to beat zbrush - but it is a different beast altogether.

Ok! time to start rolling out these Vader prototypes!
This is the first one I've been happy enough with to post. The tubing on the side of the jaw needs re-doing but other than that I think I finally have the proportions right. While the eyes look a little big, they are actually the same size as the original helm, as the lenses are recessed back into the eye sockets on the ESB version, but they are easy to resize.

Well, besides a lot of cosplay and busts and figurines, I thought it was time to also share with you a small(err well not really small...) side project that I was working on exclusively for my Patreon members..
Now, don't get me wrong.. I know this particular project is a massive undertaking and thats why it will be done over the course of several months, it will not impede on the usual models - its just something that I have wanted to mak...

Heya!
Well, big night a few models being uploaded now at the moment, Im going to get off the PC and let them do their thing (some of the newer patrons may not know about my internet woes.. our upload speed is capped at max 0.1mbps on a good day, while my download is fine at 10mbps.. so uploads are slow still, new internet another 8 weeks or so away.)
Besides some new armor I didn't tell anyone about (and will keep surprise for now) ...
A new model for Levels 2 and 3, and one you can't seem to find anywhere to print. Someone made the Jade key, someone made the Copper key... but I struggled to find the Crystal key, even a badly made one. If you can get this printed in SLA as I hav, e it will make a super clean mold for a clear resin cast.
I understand now why no one made one, it's a pain lol.. The warped pyramids were tricky to get right and within formation and also not o...
Yes, I know it's not May yet, but I thought I would get a model out early to say thanks to all of my Patreon supporters. It has probably been close to a year now on Patreon and while initially the content was a bit thin as time goes on and we grow I get more and more time to work on models for this place. We are currently at 125 supporters which is just mind boggling really, some of you I know through facebook or other places but to the ones I do...
2018-04-17 18:15:54 +0000 UTC View PostPlease find the updated Level 3 Link below, if you check in the 2018 folder you will see Printweek issue 8 addition being the entire Boba Fett costume!
Helmet is also supplied uncut (Nic..) in the Helmet folder. Boba was already done, so it didn't impede on the Clone Trooper progress (which is now finished and being uploaded)
Enjoy!
Hi all, just a very quick note to say the links are being recycled so the old ones will not work anymore (just have to do this on a regular basis so they don't go floating around on the interwebs)
Will have all new links tomorrow with the rest of the Clone trooper gear, very sorry for the delay on that no issues at all with the model just had to take a forced break the last few days due to the Easter break, and that being said I hope you all ha...

Please check the dropbox link I provided in my previous post for the new senate guard helmet (Level 2 Access 2018) (Hair obviously is not included.. ) There is a V shaped crevice for the hair so when you place it it will spread to the left and right accordingly. I honestly and going to buy a cheap broom from the hardware store and cut it to shape and then spray paint it blue :)
Download links have been recycled, please find the updated link to level 3,2,1 here:

Well, while I am plugging away at these new models for you, my printers are busy printing a 300% scale alien queen.. This is The head, and Torso Part 2 A and B (C is the back of the head spline)
Part 1 of the torso I am splitting into 3 parts also now, any updates will be added to that dropbox folder - it is fine to print as is mind you but if if your printer bed is say, smaller than 170mm then you might struggle at 300% scale or more. The reas...

Like you I am eager to print the queen out, I am printing it at 300% and I did find a couple of parts that were not plated very well and also some parts that didn't print properly, so I am sorry for that small delay, but I figure at least its less headaches for you guys.
I have had to split a few more parts to fit onto some of my printers, I'll add those too just incase anyones got a delta and can't do the superwide base.

Ok, that took a while I admit..
The image above is the first cut, I will do different ones depending on what people think is the best. Having printed this thing I really wanted to avoid the mountains of support and I think I've eliminated most of the hard to remove stuff. Of course there will be a full version uploaded, but it is massive.. it seriously is (in one file anyway)

Admittedly procrastinated a little on this re-do, I experimented with a number of backdrops but they ended up just making the overall model so large that I felt it was maybe better to focus on the subject rather than the surroundings for the actual print. Egg's have been re-done, new base, new pose completely, more of an aggressive protective pose, face and chest thrust forward with arms swinging back and secondary frontal arms are also upward no...

Well, after about 6 complete re-do's I'm finally happy with this phase 1 helmet. Whether I'll do the phase 2 etc I don't know, I'll see. This one has a small piece at the back with a 5mm LED fitting so for those wanting to go super accurate, print a transparent red LED housing and off you go.Full helmet also supplied in the zip, uncut.
