April_Work in Progress 3
Added 2023-03-20 01:12:45 +0000 UTCJust another Work in Progress image set, most of the Eclipse half of TEOTH has been wrapped up. I'm working through the alt base undermount weapons currently, and we'll see where that goes~
Test printing a handful of the weapons at 1.0 and 1.3 scale to make sure they work with the existing undermounts (downscaling the koi weapons worked fine so I imagine it'll be good~)
There's gonna be a lot of ways to build this one, which is...kinda the goal xD

There's a size comparison and more on the discord

2023-03-30 09:44:12 +0000 UTCYeah with this kit any of Eclipses undermount weapons scaled up by 1.3 will fit the existing undermounts. Basically everything is cross compatible with some scaling or the like, but there isn't a universal guide for that. I've tried making the more recent things more compatible, but it wasn't something I had planned out from the beginning so there's a mix and match of different scales between the different joints. Basically through the power of scaling in blender or similar, most things are possible, and the discord has a ton references or models of folks doing just that~ Scaling does tend to mess up magnet slots though if the piece has it. ~Pipes

2023-03-23 04:20:19 +0000 UTCCan you help a newb out, so I know what to shop for... You mention Koi a lot, and I know that's one of your models. But you say there is some cross compatible parts... But only if I scale. Can I scale by 1.3 and this will fit a Koi? And vice versa? Are there others I could buy that would also fit? I know some of the other mounts have magnets, so not sure about that. Is there a grand scale chart?

2023-03-20 15:55:58 +0000 UTCQuestion for the community, Piper please don't answer. What are you proxying this as?

2023-03-20 11:11:07 +0000 UTCThey're looking great. My only reservation is thd round energy swords. Whilst they look really cool, it can be really hard to paint them satisfactorily as the part which should be brightest is in the middle of the model part, and there are no edges you can fade it out to. You can obv print then in clear/transluscent resin, but that usually doesn't have that really bright intense energy look on it's own. It'd be really great to have a flat energy sword option too.

2023-03-20 05:37:57 +0000 UTCThis is looking great. Sad I'm going to have to resize everything to print it at Koi scale, but it all looks so good. Really liking that new Brrrt Canon design. definitely going to have to see how that turns out.

2023-03-20 01:20:05 +0000 UTCI do really like cables and myomar and the like, but it was never really prevelat on the source material, but I'm glad I started adding it in to these later kits~

2023-03-20 01:17:52 +0000 UTCI really like the ribbon cables on the backs of arms and legs you've been adding to the last several kits. They make a really good spot to paint a bright contrasting color to add even more visual interest and balance to the paint scheme.
