Hi all! Some of you may be aware that I'm planning to run a Kickstarter to produce the Talarian Kingdom army as a fantasy set of miniatures which can be used in your favourite fantasy table top wargames. This Kickstarter is planned for the end of February (around the 24th). If y...
2021-01-11 17:04:58 +0000 UTC View PostHi all! I'm still working on the minis for the knightly orders at the moment and wanted to share a last minute change in direction with you!
I'm building the army to be kings of War compatible as an army for the Kingdoms of Men, so I'll be providing multi basing bases and scatter terr...

This month we've joined forces with a bunch of other independent 3D printing creators to launch a new Patreon, the STL Creator Sampler!
I've already had a few people contacting me with concerns over this one thinking they may be scalping minis from ...

I hope you're all well rested and well fed after the festivities over the last week or so!
the first 10 light infantry are done now - for now I've opted for single piece minis as opposed to the modular build but be assured that by the Kickstarter rel...

Hi All! The rangers are finally done and in the downloads folder (although not supported yet - I'll get them done once the rogue sculpts are done! I've done hooded versions for all of the standard heads, but the body also works if you were to choose an un hoodedhead too.

Hi all! processing on the files is needed but the mid level veteran rangers are now ready and should be up in the next day or 2.

So the hard parts out of the way! organising the modularity aspect of these minis takes far more time than you'd think so getting the first set out is breaking the back of the project!
So this month I've got for you some rangers with the usual modularity you've come to expect o...
2020-10-21 20:30:19 +0000 UTC View PostHey guys!
So aside from the Rangers which I'll be putting up renders of tomorrow (along with their Panther/Sabre Tooth Tiger companion), I've been working on a few commissions. Some of those I still can't disclose at the moment, but there's one that might interest some of you.<...

So Patreon has finally spared me the pain and anguish each month of wondering how the exchange rate is going to affect my earnings and has allowed me to convert my account to my native GBP. Pay Pal's exchange rates are horrendous and I've been finding that I'm losing...

Hey guys! One thing that always frustrates me online is when I see people struggling to get prints to work and the discussions over adhesion issues. The inevitable "sand your build plate" advice crops up, along with other ludicrous advice like Lube your FEP!!!
Essentially, if yo...

Both hands and heads are modular so you can mix and match from previous modular sets too.
Here's a few renders of the posed up ...

2020-09-04 10:45:30 +0000 UTC View PostHi all!
So firstly an apology from me. This month has been massively disrupted for me so I'm way behind where I had wanted to be and consequently I wont be able to get the artificer minis finished before the end of the month though I have a cunning plan to get that back on trac...
