Hello Patrons,
This month it's D-DAY! Storm up the beach and capture the enemies fortifications!
Our existing catalogue includes plenty of early 20th century Russian, British French and German themed parts, and we are pleased to be finally adding some American inspired Uniforms and Weaponry.
Our US Marines are loosely based on the weapons and equipment used during the D-...

Hello Patreons,
Time flies, its almost time for June's release, which is 99% complete and we have had some superb test print results.
Here are a few preview images showing our take on US Marines.
As with all our kits, most of the components will be compatible with prior months release...

Hello Patrons,
This months download is a little delayed due to some personal circumstances, but the download should be ready in a few days time.
For Drop Troops : Force Recon, we have created lighter armoured and equipped versions of the originals, designed for rapid recon and intelligence gathering missions.
Here is everything you get in one image!...

Hi Everyone,
As we mentioned in our last update, Drop Troops 2 is slightly delayed, and we currently hope to have the download available sometime next week. All the sculpting is done but we still need to complete some test prints to ensure top quality and easy to print parts.
Test prints are particularly important this month because we are making some improvements to the way we do our supports.

Hello Patreons.
This project is made possible with your support, and your suggestions and feedback help guide our design process, so here is another Poll to help us pick some themes for some gaps in our schedule and for later in the year.
Here is what we have planned out so far (mostly based on the results of the last poll)
May : Drop Troops : Force Recon
June: D-Day American inspired assault troops and Bunker system

Hello Patrons!
Due to unforeseen personal circumstances it's possible that May's Download - Drop Trooper Force Recon, will be delayed by up to a week.
The first Drop Troops month was very popular, and for the expansion, we are adding a more lightly armoured recon element without the Exo-Skeletons which featured in wave 1.
We will have a full set of proper preview renders available soon, but for now here are some WIP screen shots from Zbrush.

We hope you are enjoying this month's Space Western downloads, here's a neat painting video from Sonic Sledgehammer using a miniature from the pack.
It's a great Youtube channel with loads of useful content and good taste (miniatures from the Anvil Digital Forge make a regular appearance!) so well worth subscribing :)
All the best,
Team Anvil

Hello Patrons,
We hope you are excited about this month's Space Western pack, we need to run some final checks and test prints but hope to have it out on Monday.

Dear Patrons,
Apologies for the lack of updates recently! The design team have been having a lot of fun preparing our Space Western release.
We have worked to a strong theme set around a shootout in a bar - Its all fun and card games till someone makes their point with a lever action rail gun!
We've included a huge amount of modularity and separate shells in the designs so the individual elements will fit with a wide range of other models and previous months sets - if you wa...

Hello Patrons,
This months theme is Desert Nomads. We have gone for high tech look, but tied the models to the environment/setting with cloaks and baggy clothing elements. These Nomadic raiders are well armed and able to strike their foes with speed and precision before melting back into the sands..

Every month this project seems to follow a similar pattern - we get progressively more excited by each new release as it starts to take shape from initial concept sketches through to the final models.

Hello Everyone,
The video guide is now available, showing how you can use Blender and Chitubox to prepare and export parts to print your mech.
Video Guide:
It's split up into sections with time stamp links in the description. To export and print a relatively simple mech using mostly pre supported/posed components, you only need to watch the first 16 minutes of the video.
The remaining portion covers some of the more advanced func...

Thanks for your incredible patience! I hope you will agree it was worth the extra wait!
Below you will find your download link for the Light Mech. There are several links depending on whether you already have Download One.
You will need to use Blender, a piece of free, open-source CAD software, in order to utilise the builder and reposing files which allow for a huge variety of options.

Dear Patrons and prospective Patrons,
There are just a couple of days left to get this kit at the Patreon launch price! Resin versions of this kit (later this year) will have fewer options and likely retail for $40+ each, so grab unlimited personal prints for $9 by signing up for Anvil Digital Forge before the end of the January!

It's quite a claim, but I cannot think of any miniature we have produced in the almost 10 years we have been in business which comes close to this month's download in size, detail, or modularity, and there will be even more parts and options in a second download coming soon!

Hello Patient January Patrons!
Let's get the bad news out the way first - the "middle of January" estimate is looking optimistic at this point. Partly because I struggle with time management, and partly because I am a massive mech fan and really want to put the time into making this kit as awesome as possible. I apologise, and please be assured I'm not working on anything else until it's done.
The rest of the design team who are great at hitting deadlines are in charge of Fe...
