We're heading into a new year and the Dorkfactory is working on something special to get things going.
It's time for another first at the Dorkfactory. For some reason people seem to be into the concept of heavily armored, practically immortal, genetically enhanced space soldiers. I myself fall into this category of admirers. For a long time I've thought about doing my own version of on...

Part 1 of the December bundle is ready!
This month's new sculpt is the Crawling Terror. The first version will be released shortly and a kit with alternate parts will be out in mid December.
In the dorkfactory vault, the new crawlers are joined by the Reanimated Combat Drones and the Ano...
Hello everyone,
November has been a really big month for the Dorkfactory. As of writing this we're 101 patrons over the previous record! I want to start with a tremendous thank you to everyone who signed up this month, and everybody who thought the November models were cool and shared them around. Special shoutout to The Maker's Cult. They do a whole lot to support artists and it was an absolute blast working ...

This month one large kit turned into a second larger kit. Hope you enjoy the models as much as I enjoyed making them!
patrons can download them here. As well as the dorkfactory vault models, and the starter pack.
October was a very fruitful month in the Dorkfactory. I'm happy to reveal one of the latest sculpts, this large biomechanical walker, as the first new model for November! This guy will be released on Nov 4th as he appears above (minus the last picture) but many additional heads, arms, and an alternate set of legs will be released later this month and the variations should span a large breadth of appearances. Take a look at the last image for a sneak peek at just a few of the alternate pieces ...

Greetings from deep within the factory,
This month a lot of projects are coming to fruition and a lot of new ones have started as well. A kickstarter that I did a lot of work for is currently underway, I'm finishing up some models for my second go around at The Maker's Cult patreon, and a TON of new sculpts have gotten underway! The maker community has also been very busy lately and I've got some awesome pictures of their projects to show.
Hello everyone,
It's time for MORE QUADWALKERS! This batch is all about close combat. New arms, blades, some new torsos with rotated heads, a two handed weapon, and a new super bent leg! This and the previous batch are totally cross compatible so you can go hog wild with the mixing and matching if you feel so inclined.
Hope you like them!
Patrons can download the files here.

Hello all,
This month StationForge has shared some really nice guest models! I've been following them for some time now and it's been a pleasure to be in contact over the last few months. They're two brothers who both make awesome printable minis. I was happy to see their patreon get off to an immediate great start this year. And it's no surprise as their models are really well done and really cool. If yo...

Howdy everyone,
Here's a look at what's new in the factory this month.
I've changed up the render style a few times in the past, but I've always gone with a very stylized look. I was always happy with them but I had wondered for a long time how hard it was to know what the models would look like when they're printed. So, this time around, I went for the most realistic appearance possible -- I even put them on a virtual cutting mat, a ...

Howdy everyone,
I'm very happy to announce that The Dorkfactory and PrintMinis have teamed up this month to do a model swap! I've had my eye on PrintMinis for a long time. They crank out a LOT of cool stuff.
They were kind enough to offer one of their Helgrim models from this month's batch for free! Dorkfactory patrons can grab that package from the Dorkfactory Vault!
UPDATE: Since we've passed their release month, these guys are now available here:

Hello everyone,
The dork machines churn on as ever in the factory. Here's a look at what's been going on this month.
I really enjoy the posing stage of digital miniature sculpting. It's when the things change from a neutral blueprint to a snapshot of a character in motion. I like to get pretty particular about making sure everything looks natural and then I try to push each bone in the animation rig to be mor...

Hello everyone,
Been getting a lot done on September's models! So far it feels like H. R. Giger had a child with Deadspace. These guys already have a few alternate heads, arms and miscellaneous addons. Can not WAIT to pose them.
Hope you like where it's going! More picture in the discord server if you're curious.
See you again soon :)
Hey Everyone,
I'm happy to announce that MMF cloud storage is finally a reality for Dorkfactory files! Current patrons got the news already but I'm putting out this public message because I just blasted everyone from 2021 with usergroup invitation emails and I'll be blasting all the 2020 patrons shortly.
If you've been a dorkfactory patron and didn't get an invite, it's probably because your patreon email doesn't match your MMF account email. In those cases, just send me a message...

Brace yourselves... August is going to be a big month.
The new model, The Shadow Screamer Light Transport, is finally ready and I hope you all are as pumped about it as I am.

Piloted by a heavily modified and specialized cyborg, this loud, high-speed craft has harnesses and neuro-interface targeting modules for 2 marksmen passengers as well as a cramped, hot, internal armored carrier to house a small infa...

This has been a crazy month for the Dorkfactory. HUGE thanks to all the new patrons recently. We did it! 150.
The patron discount in the MMF store will now be increased to 30%! See this post for the new code. Patreons always dip a little on the 1st of the month and we'll probably go under for a moment but don't worry, this increase is permanent.
FYI, there's another goal in the works which will show up ...

Hello from the Dorkfactory!
The new patreon system is working out even better than I had hoped in terms of upping the quality of models coming out of the Dorkfactory and in the next few months there will be a lot of really cool new releases. Here's a look at what's coming up!
