Hello everyone!
Halloween is so close and it's time for treats (or tricks, who knows)!
This time I chose a title in German just because I can, so I hope German-speaking Patrons will not find it weird... I've tried, trust me!
These heads can be easily split into two distinct sides:
Jagdgruppe "Verlorene" - SOF troopers wearing helmets and hiding their faces behind skull-masks, tasked with undead-hunting (are they? Let's just hope so!).

Update 30.10.2022 - NCO and heads are done! At this point i just need to presupport them (and add pouches to a pack of course) and that's all! Release is scheduled to Nov 3 and i will do my best to make it happen!
Update 23.10.2022 - Two more models done! I've decided to give a machine gunner PKP with a rail made by Hexagon company, EoTech holo sight and new boots resembling the ones made by Belarussian company Byteks. Now...

New release for a new month!
This release continues a line of unarmed models suitable for both "civilian" and "undercover operators" usages, aimed to create am intelligence cell with several distinct roles to fulfill.
From Infiltrator disguised as a humble worker to a JTAC with Soflam targeting equipment, they will give you some interesting options both for games, dioramas and as a bits to make your existing forces even more diverse!
All additional info can be found on Relea...

Hello everyone!
I've decided to slightly speed up this announcement so you understand what to expect.
First of all, I've made a decision to not make any more votes this year.
Second, it doesn't mean that there will be no releases, but they will be like that:
October - the release about to be done.
November - Combat Octopods Eastern Europe branch. I'm happy that you liked this idea so much and I'm really hyped to make it (they'll ...

Update 01.10.2022 - Third model is done! Release will probably be done a bit later this month, around October 5, but still within a reach. Hope you'll love this "worker/infiltrator" dude!
Hello everyone!
Last week (and especially last several days) was so turbulent i literally had no time to even make a SitRep, for which i apologize.
Two models are finally done - Mavic drone operator and "hacker" with laptop. two more to go!

First of all, for existing Patrons nothing will change. I appreciate you staying with me!
For new Patrons situation will be like this:
Corporal tier - it becomes archived and therefore will not be available anymore for new Patrons
Sergeant tier - changes from $8 per moth to $10

Hello everyone!
Round one was a close call, but now we'll need to finally decide the theme!
Alright, let's go!
And a quick reminder:
1. Combat Octopods East European Branch
Expansion of my fictional PMC theme.
These guys will have AK-12, disposable RPGs, SMERSH webbings, KSK-style pants and combat shirts and boonie hats. Kinda like "modern scouts" with no plate carriers etc.
For Corporal will be four guys w...

Hello everyone!
This new release supports tradition of making German reinforcements in September (for second year already).
As i had two distinctively different releases, namely KSK and Bundeswehr, this reinforcements are intended to supplement both.
The biggest (and prettiest) newcomer of this release is definitely MG5, a new German machine gun created to replace MG3.
And of course I've added A36 UGL for G36, which was requested on multiple occasions.
In ...

Hello everyone!
Release is about to be done (hopefully tomorrow) so i want to start next voting to not be in a rush.
As expected, what i wanted to be a time to chill and sculpt turned out to be another race against time (i blame MG5 for it) so this will be another attempt to slow down a bit.
Anyway, as always you can check the existing themes in the spreadsheet below to propose new ideas, which will appear in the future votings.

Update 27.08 - BW MG5 pose is done! I had to spend several days to recover and it made planning worse than i've expected, but still just one more pose to go!
MG5 also proved to be super difficult as it took almost 20 hours just to make this beast (it is probably also the most complex weapon i've made in my practice).
Sketch for pose 4 is already done (pic attached), it is made like this to accomodate not only MG5, but also G36, G36 with...

Hello everyone!
Hope you are having a great weekend ;)
While sculpting weapons and preparing sketches for poses i've got an impression that hands i make are a tad small for the overall bodies.
Should i make them 5-7% bigger (obviously not 20% lol) for this release, or it is better to keep it consistent?
Cheers!

Hello everyone!
So, the poll ended and theme is chosen in one round.
Much happy!
Now i want to make some specific questions and elaborations.
First - i've made my decision on the heads. Heads for Corporal will be two heads in German gasmasks ( in FAST and BW helmet) + two heads we can discuss. For Sergeant there will be four female heads as multiple Patrons requested then eagerly.
Second - since there will be only four torsos, we...

Hello everyone!
The second release of second year of my Patreon, released on August 2, is dedicated to Russian VDV who celebrate the day of their branch.
This set, loaded with one of the biggest variety of weapon options among my releases, is focused on VDV Air Assault troops who fought in 1999 in Caucasus.
They are wearing variety of uniforms inspired by famous photos and carry combination of 6B5 vests and iconic BVD (short for "paratrooper's combat layout") vests, which gi...

Update 27.07.2022 - Last pose done! This guy replaces the initial NCO idea, because it proved to be unfeasible, but he looks really good, isn't he? His main option is AKMS with PBS-1 and couple of RPG-22 for "that pesky dug-in machinegun". AKMS will be replaceable with AK-74 and hopefully Val too. Tomorrow and on Monday i will spend some time polishing everything to have a good, solid release on August 2.

As a reminder, who will contest the first place:

For Corporal it will be four models with AK-74, AK-74 w/GP, PKM
For Sergeant i will add disposable RPG firing pose (and probably body variations with them) and s...

As i reflected on event of year passed as i do on every birthday, i came to conclusion that i need to address all of you.
When i started this Patreon page, i've been extremely uncertain if my works would be of interest to anyone, but you were here for me.
Several month ago, when terrible things happened, i was afraid that in an instant i will become the only visitor of this page, but you kept supporting my work.

Hello dear subscribers and visitors!
New month means new release, and this time it is kinda special, because each of three models in the pack comes in two different versions - "concealed carry" and "combat-ready"
I've also experimented a bit on both faces and body layouts, so i hope you will find them interesting to play around (and kitbash of course)!
If you join Corporal tier in July you will get - four models (2 covert+2 overt)

This month is themes around the biggest standing army of Earth - People's Liberation Army of China.
They are wearing Type-07 gear and iconic QBZ-95 rifles, making them fitting to late 2000s and 2010s years.
In addition to QJB-95 LSW and cet of heads wearing caps, i've decided to make a "sentry-type" torso to give you additional options for scenarios.
