A sneek peek of what I'm working on this month:
100 mm/65 Type 98 Turret keychain.
Like the F. Sherman turret keychain this will be a printable keychain model of the turret found on Akizuki/Kitakaze/Harugumo. I've made small improvements, mostly topology related things over the Sherman turret so this one will have smoother model and more details (I put those rivets manually and I don't know if its even printable lol).
The major change will be how its going to be distributed. I will be trying an Etsy route this time. I have a friend that could help on setting up a storefront there and also the shipping, so I can focus on printing and other QC related things, including also packaging.
From what I seen, lots of people were interested in my printable models, but they don't have a 3D printer, and I believe many would prefer the convenience provided by just shipping the printed model. Hopefully this will satisfy that, and also satisfy me.
How To Alabama.
Running in parallel is a simple How-to of Alabama, and since there's not much going on the ship itself, I'd like to put a twist in the video format:
The How-to part will be shorter, but the rest of the video will be a segment where I explain the viewers how I make these ship models. From planning, modelling, and printing. The model in question of course, will be the Alabama itself, which I will release as a free model, incorporating all the tweaks and improvement I made on Ohio and other models.
Thanks for all your support at making me able to create all of these, and for all the years of support to my content creation, now closing in on my 10th year. This wouldn't be possible without all of you :)
I wish you a good day, and please look forward for the result.
