New models in the dork reward catalog [Unseen Executioners]

Howdy everybody,

THE UNSEEN EXECUTIONERS

I am very amped about these cyborg murderbots.

Lore:
Two heavily modified cyborgs trained and equipped to stealthily hunt down and erase humanoid targets. The Tracker quietly gets up close, while the Destroyer works from a distance.

Model release: [ Upgraded Reliquary Tanks ]

The Reliquary tanks are among my favorite creations. During the month they were created I had ran out of time and got cut short on all the parts I wanted to put in this kit. Finally I've been able to come back to them and do them justice.

We've got a new turret, some brand new side guns, and an additional melee arm. In addition, they've been cleaned up and FULLY RESUPPORTED. The small bits were...

Announcing the beginning of the Monthly Model Mail List!

Hello everybody,

Hope this finds you all well. I'm finally getting around to setting up something I've wanted to do for a long time: a monthly sample-model email list! Anybody who joins this list will get a free sample mini every month (this is in addition to the regular patreon bundle).

Partly this is to reach new people, partly it's to have an email safety net to guard against all the brutal and turbulent social media algorithms out there, and partly it's because people...

Bonus model: [NENIA DEA 4177] - kitbash with Crimson Steel Mechworks

Greetings friends,

Some of you may recall Chaor613's very cool guns added to a little kit called the Techno Demons. I love Chaor's design style and his egg-like mechs.

I asked if I could do a little kitbashing with the parts from his very cool new 2023-05-24 17:31:02 +0000 UTC View Post

Preview: Ancient Cyborg Body-Stealer Cabal Hover Ship (Transport and Gunboat)

Hey Everybody,

This one's been a very fun and weird model to make. I started off sculpting everything but replaced a lot of it with smooth hard-surfaces. For a while I didn't know if the design was going to work but I've come to really like it.

The Hover Ship comes in 2 flavors. Troop Transport:

The Dorkfactory has turned 3!

I am very happy to say that today, the dorkfactory has been running for three years! I absolutely love sculpting miniatures. It's an insane amount of work but every single time I finish one and see it printed I get completely amped and dive right back into the cycle of creating a new one. It's been a wild ride but things just keep slowly and steadily getting better and better.

My gratitude to everybody who has supported the dorkfactory is infinite. You guys are what keep the miniatures ...

Announcing: SUPER DORKFACTORY MONTH


Good afternoon,

There's been an idea floating around the dorkosphere for some time now: have a month where the community suggests edits and additions to existing models, and those edits get made.


I'm continually blown away by the ideas people have when I ask for input on designs, or when they come up with edits or combinations or new bit ideas on existing models/kits.
Long ago, after there got to be a notably large backlog of awesome alteration id...
