June's TriggerFish heavy GravSkimmer
Added 2021-05-31 08:23:17 +0000 UTCOne of the heavier in class GravSkimmers to see the frontlines. Despite it's nimble appearance this skimmer packs a heavy arsenal, absolutely obliterating their targets from afar. If you find yourself to be down the sights of one of these, you'd do your best to not be~
This is my first go at modeling any sort of vehicle, and I think I managed to get what was in my head into a multipart model. This kit like the ones before it, has a good deal of variety with how it can be assembled. Hull mounted, turret mounted, and even undermounted, the little guppies can be mounted to side engines as needed. The engines can be mounted with a 3mm x 3mm disk magnet (pretty sure that should be substantial enough if you hollow the parts.) and the Guppies (with the mounting head) can be fit with a 2mm x 3mm disk magnet as well. The guppies themselves are slotted for 2mm x 2mm disk magnets, totaling 3 different sizes in total.
I'm not including any mounting holes on the TriggerFish or Guppies. I don't want to mar the model with a socket that you might not even use if you've got a preference for mounting tanks, so I'll leave it to you to determine how you want to mount it to a base.
This is a fairly large kit and as such it might take a bit longer then normal for me to get the pre-supports for it. That said, everything should be going up on the discord around the 3rd or 4th of the month as per usual while I wait for patreon to catch up.
I will be including both solid and hollowed versions of the pieces in this kit as some of them are quite large.
Thanks so much for the continued support, and I hope you enjoy this kit~

2021-06-13 08:23:50 +0000 UTCI love absolutely everything about this, with one really weird exception. I'm not completely sold on the drone mounting. It really feels "stuck on" both figuratively and literally. It is the one thing I'd change. And I might just try my hand at an alternate drone mount of some kind. Just not right now, due to other projects in my queue.

2021-06-01 02:48:22 +0000 UTCI do love those DJI Drones xD But 4 thrusters just makes more sense~

2021-05-31 19:16:11 +0000 UTCThis thing turned out brilliantly. You knocked it out of the park on the design elements. It's instantly recognizable but altogether different. Now I'm wondering what a troop carrying variant and an infantry close fire support variant would look like. I would also love to see what you could do with flyers...

2021-05-31 12:02:53 +0000 UTCWhen I heard you were doing the tank, I was a cautiously optimistic as the HH is my favourite vehicle. You have created something uniquely beautiful, well done. So happy that I signed up to your patreon.
