These are 3d printed KMFP Chonky 18mm Scouts & Papsikels Droids.
I gave the scouts different heads. I am starting to like chonky minis as they are not fragile as true 15/18.
The camo painted ones are special forces.
The papsikels droids are great minis but as usual I had to shore up delicate parts like ankles etc to make them print better / sturdier..
I added mag locked magazines to their backs & built the hmg.

I wonder how they would look with ZombieSmiths's Aphid Troops?

Nice, so how do you “shore up” those delicate parts?
-
Wow, they look like Chigs from Space: Above and Beyond. Fantastic!
Dan

Thanks all
WM , I would think that they would be bigger ( possibly huge size wise ). Those aphids are closer to the smaller 15mm's.
Gunner - simply adding spheres, cylinders & other suitable shapes OR kitbashed parts to elbows, ankles, wrists etc in 3D Builder.
I had models fail to print because I did not do this or broke off when I was removing supports ( & loosing a foot among them because it is too small !!! )
Dan, you're right, especially the helmet.

Here are the smaller versions, came out quite nice also. I modded most of them to have different poses in 3D Builder.

Btw... to tie with other threads.
The small ones would be great for SW droids &
would fit into 20mm well also.
That is the beauty of scaling in 3d.
Might do them for 10mm also.
Will share when ready.

Z, what is KMFP?
Grimm

I also prefer a little chonk in my 15mm figures. I tend to sculpt that way, and 3d printing I have found that you can reduce height, but not reduce the X/Y axis by the same percentage and still get a figure that is thicker, but doesn't necessarily look smooshed flat either.

Grimm,
Killmeforprizes.
He is on patreon (paid for) & myminifactory & has also some great free files on cults3d & thingyverse.
Indeed, as you say Cook.

'Chonkey' is a new one on me ...
the figures look great

Thanks.
I have more to share from both makers.

Hey Z,
Hard for me to tell. These 40k models tweaked a bit or another line of Chonky's?

Hi Grimmnar,
No worries, these are the minis - KMFP Orbital Knights recon ( scouts ). I guess you can use them as 40K proxies.

And I changed their heads as mentioned.
This should help.

Hey Z,
This helps answer my questions. Thx
Grimm

Welcome.
You should look around his store as he has some great minis & vehicles. My suggestion from experience is to get stuff through Patreon from any maker as it is much cheaper in the long run.
The problem is who to support with so much on offer.As i commented before we ( I ) am moving from a lead/plastic mountain to a digital one. At least it takes up much less space. ;)
Will share more pics as I paint stuff.

Hey Z,
Been a looong time. Jonesing for some new postings. Whatcha got?
Also wanted to mention KMFP removed all his Orbital Knights files. He stated he will be bringing out renewed ones soon though. He got a C&D from you know who.
