Modelling bits for 3d printing

Something a bit more Necromunda oriented...






The Combine figure isn't done by me, but can be found .

So at the moment the vending machine is 31mm tall, and whilst I thought that to be a suitable size (since in real life these things are about 1.8 to 2 meters) the machine feels a bit small next to a 28mm (from bottom of feet to eyes) scaled figure. Thinking of increasing the size of the machine a bit.

To shed a little bit of light on them, I was imagining these machines to sort of be akin to treasure chests or mystery crates in video games, allowing units/characters to get extra power ups from them, be it 'health', ammo, power cells, etc.

Almost done...

I assume it vends skulls? Or candles? Or skull candle holders?

[Malika]

It vends grenades, ammo and that sort of stuff.

Got distracted by some buzz weapons...





Sort of meant as two handed power tools, but I imagined it mostly being converted into a single hand weapon, the back handle/trigger would be cut off, the weapon slung underneath the lowerarm, kinda like by Kari Hernesniemi from Spiky Rat Pack.

Be afraid...be very afraid...

[mangozac]

Interesting. Care to elaborate?

[Malika]

Terramorphs. More on that and .

Idea behind these is basically scrap/robot hounds that basically attack anything that comes near them. I would imagine them being part of a greater robotic/scrap ecosystem. So imagine all sorts of beasties and 'plants' in that style.

Little by little I'm getting there:


Slowly started working on the body, it still needs a lot of work, even this little part of the body will have all sorts of details such as tubings/wires/etc running through it. Tried to do it yesterday, but everything went wrong, had a bad day I guess. I'll try to continue on this during the week.

I've been rather worried about undercuts, however...it makes me wonder how cavalry models and such are normally done. I mean, it seems Ed from Troll Forged Miniatures has cast his as a single piece model, so on theory this shouldn't be possible. I already posted a comment on Ed's Facebook regarding this, so hopefully he'll be able to give me some other insights on this.

With the legs in that pose it will cast just fine. You basically zig-zag the mould split between them.

[Malika]

Cool! Thanks.

Been a bit drained from the ships, as in that I need to get my mojo again. In the meantime I delved back into the 28mm scaled universe. First up the vending machine, which will be test printed in the coming days!

[Malika]

The 28mm madness continues. Besides the vending machine I've been wanting to make some more post-apocalyptic scifi/fantasy terrain.

Barricades!

I think you may have a winner here man, that looks really good. I think you need a dugout style one also for a heavy weapon emplacement. And maybe one that might be roofed too.

Very nice.
