I received some test prints from Shapeways of a quick bot I threw together teaching myself Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 5 CAD software. I used these guys to get a sense of how some on-screen details translate into plastic. I also had some problems with the largest (and most expensive) print that I’m going to report back to Shapeways.
These are just a test, but there’s more PRS 3D printed goodness in the pipe, so keep your eyes peeled!
This guy snuck out alongside the weathered edition for the TAG Battle Pack.
Debuting at the FOE Monster Invitational is the newest Killer Culture release! As fast as the Joint Killer Culture Defense Force (JKCDF) can develop new weapons to combat the Killer Culture, new threats seem to emerge. These new Microcultures are just as fearsome and dangerous as their larger kin, but capable of swarming en masse!
As part of the Monster Invitational Show, Jim (FOE’s esteemed owner) was looking for smaller goodies from the contributors that could be up at the counter looking pretty. I’ve had some of these Micros sculpted for a while now, so the opportunity seemed perfect to get a couple more done and get a new mold made! I got some nice feedback on the prototype Micro featured in the TAG Battle Pack, so it seemed like good timing to get cranking on more. These guys will be available individually for just $5 exclusively at FOE, show opening July 8th. For $5 you get a one-inch resin booger sprayed with pretty Monster Kolor. As an added bonus and some play value, each Micro also features a small rare-earth magnet in the base, so you can stick them to your fridge, desk, pet robot, or wherever!
With Wraith Pheyden for scale. Lots more pics after the jump!
This set was made for an Open Call Judged Resin show at Toy Art Gallery, opening this Friday, June 10. The set features a prototype-colored ‘X-gal’ E. killer, a weathered, down and dirty Safrinin Microfighter, and a bonus S. muderious magnetic mini macro-culture.
The Microfighter set is now available at TAG. Just look at my pics of the toys, not there;s.
As far as I’m concerned, it should be illegal to make a robot toy and not paint at least one in army colors. Thus, the Real Type.
This is the last reveal for the release tomorrow night. Just to reiterate:
Figures go up at 9PM EST Saturday, April 30 on the PRS Store site. The Rollout and Task Force G figures will be $25 each plus shipping, and the three one-offs will be $30 each plus shipping. See you all there!
Low-res shot of the completed header. I had a great time working on this, and I hope you guys enjoy it!
Additionally, I have finalized the release details… 9PM EST April 30. Be there or be square!
Task Force G Microfighter detailed up with decals, wear, and weathering. He’s been in the thick of it and keeps on kicking.
Task Force G was one of the first operational Microfighter deployments after the initial Rollout. Their bright colors make them a comforting site when combating Killer Culture outbreaks in populated areas.
My submission to Kaiju for Japan is the ‘Weathering version’ of the Rollout color Microfighter. It features decals and a battle and use-worn finish, with some minor battle damage added.
