Edit(12/07/22)Supported filesets should be up now For the Melee Pack and HindsightV.2 filesets.
If they're not showing in your downloads folder give it a bit of time, as there's a lot of stuff that was just uploaded~ Usually hitting the "Check for new Downloads" button pulls things in, but if not just give it a bit of time before checking again~

So it's been almost 3 years, and I leave my house for 1(one) day, and I get Covid, which is literally just my luck. (I do leave the house to get food and stuff, but by and large, I don't interact with the public any more then I need to.) This might not be as bad(?) a thing if I didn't already have lupus, bunch of Dr. visits and I'm hoping it doesn't get any more serious then the current symptoms I already have, but it's looking like it's pretty mild, and I'm just resting up~
That said, it ...

Just wanted to get another work in progress set of more of the things I've been working on~ Every time I model one thing another 2 or 3 things pops up that I'm like I should add this xD it's all a very deep rabbit hole~ This has been a really fun set so far, and I'm hoping by the end of it, it'll be a pretty solid add on pack~ A lot of the base handles are swappable for different length shafts, (or double ended) I'll be adding some pieces, probably next, that will be a set of 1/2/3/4 undermou...

Lotta pics in this update, I've been trying to model as much as I can for this as there's a lot I want to do for it xD
This is just the start that I've got going so far.
This kit will focus around the HindsightV2 kit, and will be its own separate add on pack as well.
I mostly just wanted to get up what I have so far so people can see what this stuff's about~ Almost everything in this kit will focus around this style of hand assembly so you can orientate/pose as desired because you c...

Thank you guys for being patient with this one x'D
I wanted to post one last WIP. I should be wrapping up the last mounting option, and a few extraneous bits and ends in the next day or two, and then sending everything over to Atlas for supports. The amount of ways this kit can be assembled actually has me unsure of how I want to build my reference models xD I really hope you're liking it s far because I am very pleased with how it's all coming together.

As I'm sure you all know at this point if you've been following this build for the month, that it's gonna run over into October a bit. I'm at about 85% through the kit, so I'm hoping it doesn't run too far into October, I imagine, it should be about a week give or take.
like the StoneFish, I will hold off on uploading the raw files post finalizing, till I get the supports back for this one, because there are a lot of moving parts so to speak, and I want to make sure it all fits to...

I got a ton of Q's about this, and if you're not following along on the discord, there's a good chance I'll be making a special back piece that lets you mount a third cannon.
It's really low priority, so it'll be one of the last things I do, but I just wanted to answer that here~ I will not be making any of the variant weapons or the like for this with this kit. Possibly later on down the line as an upgrade set, as I do not intend to make a full scale version.

Almost wrapped up the torso, just a few more spots left to flesh out/get too., so I wanted to post some updated renders as I move through the things~ Next is gonna be the arms and then the main held/underarm cannon mounts, and a standalone missile block.

Working through the lower body of the Orca. (It came down to that or Arapaima in my head and the Orca won out. It fits with the Narwhal~) Hoping to have the waist done later on today/tomorrow. then it's all the hard stuff xD.
Thicc thighs end lives and all that, especially when they have 20+ missiles in 'em~
I'm really actually liking the silhouette so far, so I am glad I decided to make a bipedal variant. It might be one of my favorite kits so far.

So as I'm going through the Bipedal Narwhal (thinking on a better name for this one currently) there's a good chance it's gonna take me more then the month to finish out. With any luck that *won't* be the case, but I'm just trying to be realistic, and there's a lot of things I want to possibly do without limiting my self on things to include in the kit. I don't think I'll be making a larger mech then this, so I really want it to be a good centerpiece, with no lack for ways it can be built.

Koi is like leetle baby.
I'm trying to do most of the blocking out for the lower half before refining/detailing. This is a big kit and I want things to remain cohesive between sections~ I'm going to be doing zoid esque stabilizers at the back of the legs over the set up on the archer fish because I'm biased, and I don't honestly like the look of it. (it also doesn't fit as well on the base)
I also finally have a waist large enough for hydraulics in it like on the Sturgeon. I'm reall...

I'm almost done with the bomber side of things, I need to do some more general detailing, finish blocking out and detailing the main bomb bay, and make sure it all still comes apart.
I've added a handful of different engine pieces to mess around with, and a two styles of bomblete. The whole thing will be magnet swappable with the other aerial variant.

Just getting up another WIP as I think a decent amount of progress has been made so far on the base frame. Engines are still pretty much blocking, as well as the rear of the base craft~
The winglets on the engines will be magnet slotted or similar, with a cover variant for just running the engines. And the blocking for the bomb bay, both variants will attach from the underside via magnets, and should be swappable between the two
The sensor suite at the front will also be able to be ...

Just wanted to real quick throw this up:
The drone was a test, but this should convey the idea~ They break down into torso/legs so you can still slot whatever head/arms, and are good for 2 and 4 arm configs. I'll be doing another standard pose like this (probably the running one as that's my favorite) and then an egg head squad leader doing a point, with most of the pointing arm pixelated cause that's just kind of bad ass. This should give a good bit of variety to mix and match over th...

Probably the last WIP render set for Augusts GhostShrimp poppers.
(added a render with a side-by-side of a standard goby for scale)
The current bits spread is lacking a few normal heads, and a few other gubbins I want to add in. I'm also going to be doing 3-4 ish full figures that will be going through some kind of cloaking transition that I think it's going to hopefully be pretty rad (3-4ish figures in 2 and 4 arm configs per set so something like 6-8 stealthy figures).

There are a few head variants to model out, the rear arms/shoulder armor and a few gubbins here and there, and then an eclipse variant, the main weapons of which I've got pictures in one of the WIP renders~ Then I can finally do that pixelated stealth effect I've always wanted to do hopefully xD

There was an error with the two files: LYS_Mako_Body_Supported and OBJ_Mako_Body_Supported.
There were two pockets in the intake pieces that I've gone back and deleted. (this updates the pre-plate and supported folders on CG&T)
Now I've been advised that these pockets are negligible in size to cause any kind of impact to anything already printed, but I've removed them in the files anyway.

Real quick First WIP render, working through the start of the GlassFish (or possibly GhostShrimp, undecided)
I wanted these to be reminiscent of the original silverfish, but more up to my current aesthetic with some pulls from the AnglerGeist worked in as well (stealth emitters/Flat cables). And I can't wait to get into the rest of this set up, I think it's gonna be somethin else~
