Lovely work Sngu,
They'll be great printed out.
Instead of a socket you could make space for a magnet ( that is what I do at least )

Thanks Z! Actually, there is both! Both sides of the socket also have a 2mm hole to accomodate a magnet, so both can be done! It just doesn't show with the angle in the picture.

Staggeringly good. Great use of modern APC characteristics while keeping it near future SF.

Those mechsuits though, holy bones, those are insane!

hi great looking minis buildings and actually all the goodies. One question do you have a licensed vendor who prints these on demand? I love the idea of 3d printers but really do not want to go down that rabbit hole.

Thanks!
There are a few vendors who offer the Tech faction for sale, but i yet don't have a full list. We released the first vendor licenses last month, we'll try to have a good list soon!

Cheers Matt! :) I'm admittedly not an expert on vehicle-mecha design, but i'm trying to keep the same detailing elements for all the machines, and it seems to be working! =) =)

The test-prints came out great btw. I'll take more photos and i'll put some paint on those ASAP! =)

Very nice work Sngru,
Those bull bars came out great ( & the rest as well, obviously)   ;)
A question, do you drybrush your 6mm ? As some details are fragile in 18mm let alone 6 !!!

Thanks for sharing
Keep it up.

First test of the Heavy Artillery - the chassis is the same of the transport, but with a (literally) heavy gun on the back. Heavy enough that it needs extra supports when deployed!



C&C welcome

Back to some terrain, concepts for the "more bricky" shanties, from what I learned with the painted example of a couple of pages ago.





I am trying to restrain myself from sculpting terrain until i've finished the Enlisted faction... but I'm not sure it's healthy. Probably alternating between different projects would make me a lot more productive.
Stream of consciousness aside, see you in the next update!

I am in the same boat. I have an outfit here in the Niagara region of Ontario who I had print some of his buildings. I was very happy with the results and price. If this works for you here is a link to them. Contact them if interested and go from there. No affiliation other than satisfied customer.

They use resin printer(s?) and usually do 28mm but were willing to give 6mm a try and did very well.

An unusual update this time - a short video, the first of a series hopefully.



Pardon my cranky voice, i'm not used to microphones!

Nice video!  :-*

Subscribed.

I think a video featuring your painted terrain and miniatures nice and up close would be quite cool.

Good point! Will definitely do, i'm still working out the kinks of video-making, especially without the proper equipment!
