[New Files!] The Jedi Survivor Swoop Blaster has been added to the August Specialist rewards!

This is certainly an interesting blaster and I can't say it's my favorite but I'm committed to doing all the variants! 

Modeled by our friend Sergey Kolesnik you'll find the blaster has been broken down into 20 individual parts for high detail printing. 

This blaster definitely feels Sci-Fi with the prong design and it probably won't be for everyone but I thought it would make a cool Tuesday release! 

We've got a good mix of more Star Wars and Halo releases on...

[New Files!] A collection of Halo helmet accessories have been added to the August Specialist rewards!

Not gonna lie these files were made for selfish purposes so we could use some of them in our own build, but I think you'll all like them a lot!

Includes 10 different Halo helmet accessories! Some of them are a bit more restrictive for placement and were based around the ODST helmet but most of them are compatible with other helmets!

Each one is pre-separated for easy printing and assembly! Buck's antenna has space cut out for electronics and everything too.

Hope you all enjo...

[New Files!] The Remastered Phase 2 Heavy and Officer have been added to the August Specialist rewards!

This took me longer than I would have hoped to get around to but back in February I remastered the base Phase 2 Clone Trooper helmet into the "Definitive" edition that was accurate to the Kenobi sculpt and now I've got the Officer and Heavy accessories for you guys!

With the accessories you guys also get the base "Definitive" edition Phase 2 Clone Trooper helmet if you didn't have it already!

Along with making sure the new accessories fit onto the new style of helmet I also ensure...

[New Files!] The Sabine Wren lightsaber has been added to the August Specialist rewards!

Another bomb file from the Dungeons and Starships Patreon! You can find his page here: https://www.patreon.com/dungeonsandstarships

From his Patreon:
This piece is designed in the same fashion as Hati and Skoll's with a hollowed out chassis for inserting a TXQSaber core. I've also included a slightly different model with the solid emitter (it has a few more details)

This build also uses two 4-4...

[New Files!] The iconic Halo M90 Shotgun has been added to the August Specialist rewards!

Sadly I won't be able to post this on socials because it's probably too realistic ;)

I'm very happy to be adding this iconic Halo weapon to the Patreon rewards! Originally modeled by Sergey Kolesnik with a few mods by myself, this weapon is the perfect accessory to sit and hide in corners or take down infected!

Measures in at 1 meter long when fully assembled and has 1/2" (14mm) diameter holes cut through the body to help reinforce this beast. The barrels are also sized like the M...

[Announcement!] The first archive email from MyMiniFactory has been sent out!

Alright y'all, the first MyMiniFactory (MMF) file backup email has been sent out to Specialist members! Let me explain how it all works:

At the end of each month I'll send out a backup of the monthly files that are getting archived for annual members that will become unavailable to the monthly members as the new month ticks over - in this case it's the June releases.

The email will get sent to the same email you signed up for the Patreon with. You MUST have/make a MMF account tied...

[New Files!] Skoll and Hati's Lightsabers from the upcoming Ahsoka show have been added to the July Specialist rewards!

It certainly feels like a historic month for the Patreon and it just keeps getting better! These 2 files come to us from the Dungeons and Starships Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/dungeonsandstarships 

From his Patreon:

"These sabers are designed with a hollowed out chassis for inserting a TXQSaber core.

This build also uses two 4-40 x 1/2” screws to affix the core and an M3 thumb sc...

[New Files!] The Bo Katan figurine Pose 3 has been added to the July Specialist rewards!

We're slowly finishing off all these renders - just one to go! As you can imagine the figures are very detailed so it can take a bit to finish each render. 

This is a pretty fun pose as it's meant to either sit on a stand or be suspended from midair! You'll find variants of the torso meant for the keyed stand or without so it can be suspended, as well as variants for the different shoulders, face or no face, and platform or no platform!

Hope you all enjoy! The MyMiniFactory b...

[New Files!] The Bo Katan Pose 2 has been added to the July Specialist rewards!

Got the 2nd of 4 renders for the Bo Katan figurines done!

Y'all know the drill already:
1:6 scale by default
Includes both versions of the right shoulder - Mythosaur and Default
Includes versions with the helmet solid or with the face underneath
Includes pre-separated and keyed versions along with assembled versions!

Hope you all enjoy!

[New Files!] The Sabine Wren helmet has been added to the July Specialist rewards!

I'm very excited to show you all the Sabine Wren helmet from the upcoming Ahsoka show! The whole design team worked tirelessly on this helmet from the moment the references dropped from SDCC! Having such great references means every designers helmet will be very similar so we wanted to make ours different and optimized for builders.

While it's fun to be one of the first it's more important to be the best! We didn't cut any corners with this helmet so lets talk about the many features th...

[New Files!] You guys get a double feature today! The Halo 3 Assault Rifle and Jedi: Survivor Combustion pistol have been added to the July Specialist rewards!

I hope everyone had a good weekend! Lets kick off this week with a double feature of new weapons - 1 from the Halo universe and 1 from Star Wars!

Both of these kits were modeled by our skilled partner Sergey Kolesnik with various modifications by myself. The Assault Rifle uses 1/2" (14mm) diameter dowels through the center for structural support and 10mm x 3mm circular magnets for the magazine to be removable. The space behind the display has also been hollowed out to allow for electron...

[New Files!] The Halo 3 ODST "Rookie" files have been added to the July Specialist rewards!

Phew - we've been churning out a whole lot of files lately and a bunch of our work has been on this Halo 3 ODST kit! I'm dead tired but I hope you all appreciate the work we've all been putting in. 

There's a whole lot to talk about with this kit so lets do it:
- Includes the base Armor and Helmet of a Halo 3 ODST "Rookie"
- Helmet and Armor come pre-separated and pre-cut for smaller printers
- Helmet includes various assembled versions including a casting version
- Hel...

[Remastered Files!] The Kashyyyk Clone Trooper Armor and Helmet have been added to the July Specialist rewards!

As with all my major remasters, when an update gets sent out you guys get it as well!

A big thank you to Justin and the guys at the 501st Pathfinders for working this with me to get it as accurate as possible!

Most of the changes are pretty minor but we wanted to make sure the files were up to 501st snuff. I threw in some ease of printing features to make your lives easier as well!

****A little side note as well - I uploaded a new version of the Bo Katan figurine with a soli...

[New Files!] The Death Trooper Prototype helmet has been added to the July Patreon rewards!

A while ago I got commissioned to make this custom Death Trooper Prototype helmet by ArmoryShopProps after the customer reached out to them but never heard back. I reached out myself but also never heard back after a month. I'm pretty sure their shop closed down after the fire they had and then the sanctions on Russia - which is too bad because they always made great stuff!

This helmet is going to be a Patreon exclusive just because I would feel weird modeling someone else's concept and...

[New Files!] The Halo M-1 Combat Knife has been added to the July Specialist rewards!

A quick new file release for you guys, the M-1 Combat Knife!

I wanted this to be part of my ODST kit and I thought a few of you out there might be interested in one as well! It comes pre-separated into 4 main parts with a few different variations of the blade and sheath. It's quite a hefty knife but it's real fun to swing around when it's all put together.

A hole for a 1/4" (7mm) diameter wooden rod helps connect everything together and provide structural support.

Hope you a...

[New Files!] Bo Katan Figurine Pose 1 has been added to the July Specialist rewards!

By popular request I'm going to be doing some more figurines of the badass ladies in the Star Wars and Halo universes, starting with Bo Katan! 4 poses are planned in total but each one takes a while to render this beautifully so they'll be spread out throughout the next few weeks.

 She comes in 1:6 scale and includes a few variants: Platform/No Platform and Default/Mythosaur arms for you to swap out the different shoulder plates. Different versions of the calves exist as well depen...

[New Files!] We're going back to the skies with the Animated Clone Trooper Pilot helmet!

The iconic Animated Clone Trooper Pilot helmet has been added to the July Specialist rewards!

I just got the test prints off this morning and am very happy with how the files came out! They're very well optimized for printing, saving a lot of printing overlapping or duplicated sections. You'll see the blast shield overlays a reduced dome to save on printing. The ears also interlock to the front and back while being hollowed out.

Included is a hollowed chest box that uses 10x3mm ma...

[New Files!] 2-for-1 today! The ODST SMG and SOCOM Pistol have been added to the July Specialist rewards!

These 2 lovely additions to the Specialist rewards come from the Dungeons and Starships Patreon, show him some love here: https://www.patreon.com/dungeonsandstarships

Both of these pieces will be featured in our own personal ODST kits so we can vouch for their accuracy and functionality!

The SMG has holes for a 1/2" diameter rod to provide strength and support. The suppressor is threaded and able ...

[New Files!] The Halo 3 Battle Rifle has been added to the July Specialist Rewards!

For monthly members struggling to access the files - be sure to check the pinned post for the new link this month! New links will not be sent over PM anymore.

As part of the ODST builds we're working on we needed some more iconic weaponry, thus the Halo 3 Battle Rifle files were born! 

Measuring at just over 90cm this rifle was modeled by Sergey Kolesnik with a few modifications from myself including:
Holes cut for 1/4" (7mm) diameter rods to provide strength and support t...

[Lightsabers are here!] 4 Lightsabers have been added to the shop as voted on by you!

A few months ago I was approached by a Lightsaber manufacturer. ...

[New Files!] The Patreon Exclusive Darth Revan and Revan Redeemed Swords have been added to the July Specialist rewards!

Today you guys get 2-for-1! 2 Revan Swords inspired by artwork from Jake Bartok have been added to the Specialist rewards! 

These swords act the same way as the previous ones - they have a hole cut through the center for a 5/16" diameter metal rod to provide strength, support, and weight.

The Darth Revan sword measures 1.2 meters long and the Redeemed Revan Glaive measure 1.4 meters long!

Each one includes an assembled version and pre-separated parts. The blade comes as...

[New Files!] The Sith Empire Trooper Helmet has been added to the July Patreon rewards!

Nothing like a little blast from the Old Republic past! These guy's helmet design may have never made sense to me as it's has a fully filled in face but I was happy to get it done! I'm sure there's tons of Old Republic stuff I haven't touched yet so if you have any suggestions let me have it!

Features a lot of different QoL designs including different versions of the face with different details separated or not. Also includes the usual pre-cut parts for smaller printers.

Hope you ...

[New Files!] The RotS AT-RT Driver Helmet has been added to the July Patreon rewards!

This has got to be one of the ugliest Clone Troopers in existence but I've had many requests to do this one for people to fill out their collections so here it is!

For those unfamiliar, these are the "All these Wookies are dead" clones piloting the AT-RT walkers on Kashyyyk.

The helmet features a variety of assembled and pre-separated versions. It also includes parts pre-cut for smaller printers. The antenna can be printed or replaced with a 2mm diameter metal rod.

Hope you ...

[New Files!] The Halo Reach M45 Shotgun has been added to the July Specialist rewards!

If you haven't seen the latest YouTube videos you may not know we're building 2 complete Halo ODST kits to attend Dragoncon in! This meant there were a lot of files we wanted to make in preparation - many of them being weaponry! Sergey Kolesnik helped model this one and she's a real beauty.

This monster is just over 1 meter in length and has holes pre-cut for 3/4" PVC pipe (the outside diameter of the pipe is just over 1") to provide strength and support while also serving as the barrel...
