I just wanted to get a photoset together of August. While some of the main models (sturgeon and koi) are being re-run, I wanted to have some new bits to try and spice things up and give some more option~
I also snuck in a more monopose model from my own stash. This one's the centerpiece of my own force~
On top of that, the lovely Crucible of games has given me a hand this month with the 2pi Shadow Piper mode...
Hey y'all, here are the August file codes for gumroad.
Gumroad 50% off code: heavyresuply
Koi and Sturgeon Kits 100% off code: alwaysabiggergun

*Please be aware that the Sturgeon code is for the full Sturgeon kit, and not the Upgrade kit.*
I forget that some of you aren't on the discord, and I forget I can make posts here xD
For everybody that messaged me, and for all the support that you guys sent my way I am extremely grateful. This is an incredible community that we've all built up and I'm really proud of where it's gone~
And for everyone wondering, I was discharged from the hospital, and have been going back and forth between follow ups and physical therapy to get my lungs/heart back on track and am, for the most ...
So for anybody who's been following the announcements on discord will know I've been feeling pretty under the weather putting it mildly for the past two weeks. Now about a week ago, things started to get a fair bit rougher, and I had a real big scare yesterday morning, during which I decided I needed to take this to the ER. They ran some tests, came back and basically told me that I had fluid around my heart and it was enough to make the heart not work good, so we're going to helivac you over...

Beluga Pattern Sturgeon and Calappa Drone kits~ Wrapping up another month~
You've all got the rest of today and tomorrow to use the gumroad codes for the TriggerFish kits if you haven't moved over to CG&T. I'll be taking those codes down and swapping in July's 50% off code as well as the codes for the Beluga Pattern Sturgeon. The Calappa drone set will be available on the discord in the #file-repository along with the Pleco and Scampi drones, as well as on CG&T in the welc...

So if you don't follow my discord too closely, I've had a a handful of issues with Fusion where I lost a lot of progress on the first Sturgeon upgrade kit. But I cranked through last night and most of today and got back to where I was (roughly the same) before fusion decided to make me really, really sad.
I also realized I hadn't posted any WIP pics of it here yet~
So here's a quick render set of that so far~

Pleased to add here that I will also be adding some of the most recent Calappa Drones to the Atlas3DSS Vulcan Resin Kickstarter~
For those who are unaware, Atlas3DSS are the lovely folks that I use to pre-support all of my files. If you've printed any of my supported files, you've printed their work~ Honestly it's just top tier stuff, I haven't had a print fail since I started using them back in October~
Now at least a handful of you know about the Vulcan resin and how much tim...
So fusions been giving me all kinds of hell the past week while I'm working on the first Sturgeon expansion kit, ultimately losing me about 18 hours of work (twice), so I worked on some low impact models to get the vibe goin again, cause that kinda stuff is really demoralizing :T What you see t the end is the plan for having a head without having a head, I just have to remodel that whole section again for the third time x'D
Now for the 500 sub model kit, people always ask me if I'd eve...
Hello friends~! Patreon has unfortunately kinda forced my hand with this one. There's an issue that's been becoming a bit more prevalent with their discord bot not un-assigning roles despite people having un-subbed months ago. Thus giving them access to the files despite not being subbed.
I have since removed all monthly files from the discord and will now be initially hosting them on Comics Games and Things. Followe...
One of the heavier in class GravSkimmers to see the frontlines. Despite it's nimble appearance this skimmer packs a heavy arsenal, absolutely obliterating their targets from afar. If you find yourself to be down the sights of one of these, you'd do your best to not be~
This is my first go at modeling any sort of vehicle, and I think I managed to get what was in my head into a multipart model. This kit like the ones before it, has a good deal of variety with how it can be assembled. Hu...
Hey y'all end of the month's coming up on the ArcherFish set, so I'm throwing up another quick set of WIPs for the TriggerFish~
This coming kit will include pieces to assemble the TriggerFish in a turret mounted and hullmounted variant, with the potential for an undermounted turret if I have the time for it~ As well as the 3 previously shown frisbees~
Technically...you can also build it like this if you're so inclined with bits from the previous sturgeon kit for a bit of nightmare f...
Hey-ho We've got some lil' guppies to add to the mix, and the blocking out of the TriggerFish Grav tank.
I finally got a drone design that I actually like, and jeez the basic shapes on the central body of the TriggerFish gave me some work to get right, flowing curved surfaces isn't really my strong point in CAD but it makes you learn new ways of looking at things~ Very rough, mostly just a sketch to get things blocked out.

Stalking the back of battlefields picking targets off with precision, the ArcherFish class mech packs a small arsenal, from giant cannons to a near endless supply of missiles to dominate from afar.
This is another large kit with a ton of variable configs and with a bit of scaling, almost all of the bits from the Koi mech will work with this and vice versa. 58 pieces total~.
This will be going Live May 3-4~ Pre-supports by atlas as always, and they should definitely be dropping at th...
I've got a few more bits to wrap up on this kit, and it's gonna be like the Koi Battllesuit. Way to many configs to reasonably render, so hopefully a shot of all the pieces will convey some of that. Along with some generic setups like here.
I want to finish this kit up in a couple of days so I can start working through the 500 subs model. And then we're gonna break the flow and I'm gonna crack into one of the vehicles before we get back to more Battlesuits~

Almost done with the big gun mounting options, one more underheld, then some finalizing on the body/missiles/scaling tests/secondary bits~ Also added in a few different leg options. The support brace is on a balljoint will be printed as one long piece and need to be cut to fit however long you need it~

[WIP] Working through one of the mounting setups for the ArcherFish Mech. There'll be underheld, and underarm mounted variants as well. Once I get this wrapped detail wise I'm gonna get into the arms/legs, and then the other armament for it~
~Pipes
Last reminder to grab the filesets in the #file-repository on the discord for the Sturgeon before I feed 'em to the void~
And the Koi kit will be going up around the 3rd or 4th to give patreon a second to catch up to itself. This also gives me a chance to get the supported files back to have them release at the same time (hopefully, we'll see~) once I have the full filestes ready, I'll be adding them to my gumroad/cults with a code added to the #file-repository...
Just another little update on the Koi Battlesuit builder
This one's slotted for 2mm x 2mm disk magnets for easy swapping (Only applicable to the undermounted arms)
Puttering along~
I wasn't able to stream but I figured out how to record my screen xD, I hyperlapsed it so it wouldn't be boring, condensing about 2.5 hours down into something like 2.5minutes.
I think it's fun to see though~
Hype...
Well that lasted long
Having a lot of emails using the codes that were never a part of the patreon, and I'd be fine if it were like 20-30emails, but it's a chunk more then that so I will be removing all of the previous months codes. I'm not surprised and I kinda expected this but I'm still disappointed.
I'll still be doing the current month so you can add that to your library, but the previous months you'll have to get the code through me if you didn't get in on that already
Working through the base model of the suit for April, adding some more heavily armored variants reworking all the weapons as well as mounting options, and for designations, it's looking like it's gonna be the guppy or koi Battllesuit.
It's a little suit, but it should have a lot of variety necessary for something so multirole~

2021-03-17 12:28:27 +0000 UTC View PostSo this is a new thing I've been working on getting together. I use Gumroad as one of my storefronts if you weren't familiar. (You should be I have a 50% off code of all the previous stuff~ "rippedfish") linktr.ee/poyper for the gumroad link.
But basically anything bought off of here stays on file, so you get a library so to speak in case you ever loose or accidentally delete files.
Now unlike Cults, gumroad lets me make codes for the files. I will be reaching out to patrons for...
*Alrighty*
In just a little bit both me and Crucible of Games will be dropping the collaboration between us, which as I'm sure you know at this point, Is my Sturgeon Class Battlesuit and LeesedRenfort's 2Pi Operators. Both kits are pre-supported with the Sturgeon coming with a set of pre plates for assembling a 2 and 4 arm config of the base suit. The 2pi operators come in a variety of different poses that interact with various parts of the sturgeon for a whole host of options from being h...

Alrighty~! The Raw STL files for the sturgeon are up on the discord. This also includes a little assembly guide to help out as the suit in a 4 arm config is almost 65 pieces! Which can probably get a bit tricky if you don't know what you're looking at~ Supported filed by Atlas3DSS are in the works but they're a bit backed up. Once I have the supported files, they'll go up alongside the pre-plated files for the base suit. (Based around a PhotonS build plate this should be something...
2021-03-02 17:13:47 +0000 UTC View PostTo mitigate the amount of questions I'm now getting about this:
There was no February mainline file set to due to my medical in-disposal. The March file set (The Sturgeon) Will be releasing around March 4th as there's still a few things I need to finish on it.
This will also give patreon a chance to catch up. The first few days of the month are rough as their servers flex to handle the load. New subs might not have roles assigned to them or have trouble syncing their discord accou...

Hey friends! That February crunch is real especially given the fact that I had a bit of a late start to the month and that February is shorter (who thought that was a good idea?), but I got the base frame wrapped up and that was the hard part xD
Should be wrapping up the secondary stuff and mounting weapons tomorrow~
Whatcha think? This Battlesuit has a "Base Frame" that I'm gonna be using in two other similarly classed Battlesuit that I have some...real good ideas for. I'm really qu...

Hellooooo everybody~!
So for those of you who aren't on the discord, the end of January/beginning of February was a pretty rough point for me medically, but I'm back at it with this little peak at what I've been working on~
I've got a collab going between me and Crucible of Games~! Because I'm not so good at the squishy modeling I reached out to them because I really enjoy the 2pi figures they've been doing to see if they wanted to do a pilot set for my Sturgeo...
Obligatory new years post as well as the post for the start of January! December was a ride. I unfortunately didn't get all of the things I wanted to get some within the month, but I'll be working to drop the additional things as early into January as I can~ regardless of that I think you'll all really enjoy the AnglerGeist kit. It's a doozy at almost 35pcs per figure. A bunch of different configs and options to keep you busy for at least a couple hours~
