I haven't started. WIP thread yet since I just got it this week and I'm 3D printing pieces that I want upgraded from what the modeler sent me. My OCD is gonna rule my build so I've got a bit to do before I start my WIP.

Happy are those who are smart enough that can design their own stuff and have access to a 3D printer so they can make their designs a reality ;)

Hehe thanks :) This one is build using WOF's plans but I might do another jetpack using Pepakura, just need to find the right one. If I find one, I can send you the file xD

Update time:

^Primer

^Montana Silvercrome base

Hopefully sometime around weekend I'll have it painted in full. Need to get it done before winter because then my basement becomes less spray-friendly.

Your killing it Vod. As for Pepakura files for a Jetpack. I thing Fierfek has a free file over on RPF in his pep thread.

So shiny. .. It needs more mud-work Vode!

Great thing otherwise. .. Makes me regret my dreamed brigade uses grav equipment  in lieu of  jet packs.

Update time!
Been working on the jetpack a bit aaaand:

^ 'lil bit of red

^ 'lil bit of black


^ and it's done!

^ details, man! :)

I even got it weathered, just haven't taken any decent pictures for now... Also I'd like to gt my hands on the beacon and stabiliser at some point in the future, to make it look more complete.
And of course I need a harness.

Which beacon and stabilizer are you looking for? I know a guy who can 3D print a beacon and possibly the stabilizer.

Update time. Much has changed since my last post. Did my first ever troop back in April/May at Pyrkon - biggest Polish convention, lost toe spikes and broke gauntlet front while releasing the blade ;) But all in all it was great! There was four of us from Poland Stronghold (3 OMs) and we made quite an impression with our Mercs banner.

First Stronghold picture. Yup, we crashed that Tie Fighter ;)

Gauntlet damage during repairs

When I was making new blade I wanted to make it wider and look like Death Watch had in their gauntlets but in the end I just made a wider version of the old one.

Much better


Repairs, repairs...

That new part kinda looks like on Jango Fett's gauntlet so I don't really mind the visible line.

Then, at the end of July we went to SkierCon, small convention in a small city but some really nice things happened:

Myself, Vassk and Dexal got interviewed for a local radio station!

Here's yours truly solo ;)

What's more! We even got a professional mini-photo session:



And today I've decided that I just have to change my knee armor and behold, work in progress with cardboard prototype:


While not perfectly shaped, the new one looks better, doesn't it? ;)

That's all for now, stay tuned for more!

BEHOLD! My newest creation!
From this:

Into that:


How it happened:
Ankle boots bought at a sale, 3D printed toe spikes, leather dye (polish equivalent to Angelus brand), rubber wire sleeve and off we go:



I blame the weather for the photo quality ;)
Just a bit of weathering to do and I'm done :)

That's great, but I'd worry about 3d-printed toe spikes. When you're wearing the kit, it's easy to bump your toe into something. How strong are the spikes? I'd go with some metal screw-on ones from studsandspikes.com and a metal backing plate.

It depends on what the 3d printed pieces are printed in. Pla is the weakest, abs is stronger, and petg is easy like pla but strong like abs.

They're made from ABS, and they feel pretty strong, so hopefully they won't break too fast ;) They just need to survive the big event we have in mid-October, haha

I love your kit vod. The new knees look so much better. Just a suggestion I think your kit would look so much cooler is you weathered your soft goods heavily  :)

Keep at it
