260 Patron Goal Bonus Model Reached

Hey everyone, I'm really sorry to bother you with another notification about another bonus model.

Unfortunately, we've reached 260 patrons so against my best wishes I must deliver you this Lich model, as it appears in Strangers of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origins. It'll be in the Google Drive until the end of the day, as well as in the October MMF invites.

After this I'll do my best to not bother you again until the November release on the 2nd. 

Additionally, here is the 270 Patron Goal Preview, Aerith as she appears in her dress during the Wall Market section of FFVII.

You have my deepest thanks for your understanding and cooperation in these difficult times.

Bonus Model: "The Bride" from Kill Bill, courteousy of retroflow!

Hello again everyone, here's a bonus model, courtesy of a commission by community member retroflow! You can find it in this months Google Drive link, and it will be added to the monthly MMF invite as well.

You can follow retroflow on Instagram at: 

https://www.instagram.com/retroflowupw/

Where they post a variety of paintjobs from a whole host of creators, including some of mine! Landy (the 2nd image, released in May 2023) was also a retroflow commission, as well as most of the Mario models coming in November! 

So maybe you enjoy this very cool bonus model, see?

Maybe you appreciate the paintjobs below.

Maybe you remember Landy and all the good times you had using that figure on the tabletop (and if you didn't have that model before, its included in the Welcome Pack as of today).

Maybe you give retroflow a follow on Instagram and appreciate them.

Maybe I look the other way and we go about our day in peace.

Maybe we wont have any problems.

I surely don't want any problems.

Don't become a problem.......

Thanks retroflow!!

November 2023 Full Preview

Here's the full November lineup, scheduled for November 2nd!

• The Saturday Night Reruns throwback will be the October 2022 release, which is also the point in this Patreon's history where the bang began to outweigh the buck. The value proposition is strong with this one!

Additionally, as of this post going live the Welcome Pack contents have been DOUBLED!! You'll find everything included within the same Welcome Pack folder in the Monthly Release posts

Hope you're excited, and thanks for your continued support!

November Preview #3

Hey everyone! Spooktober is almost over and a new month is creeping in, and with it the final batch of previews! The best is saved for last (my subjective opinion), and features:

• Yugi
• Dark Magician
• Sabrina
• Dialga
• Bowser
• Mario (Cappy throw version)
• Mario (Fireball version)
• Renamon / Kyubimon / Taomon / Sakuyamon

Full month render will be coming in a few days, and with that I hope you all like it! Thank you immensely for your continued support!

November Preview #2 + Life Update

Hey everyone, hope you're having a great week! I have more November previews to offer you on this day, featuring:

• Dark Magician Girl
• Machop / Machoke / Machamp
• A  squad of ChuChus (Zelda: Wind Waker)
• Frog Suit Mario
• Cappy
• Mega Man (Warlord exclusive)

Hope you like them!

Also a life update on my end, my wife is pregnant with our first child! The new kid on the block is due around the end of Q1 next year.

What does this mean for you, most gracious patron?

Well, as of now nothing changes and the show goes on. It has been eating into a decent chunk of my sculpting time, but I'm still aiming to deliver you all an ample amount of fun minis for your tables and collections. But I definitely have been going way over my basic quota of:

• 5 PKMN + 1 Trainer
• 4-5 DGMN
• 5 Other (Its Other, I've been going way over my Other quota)

So I'll be trying to rein myself in, if I don't I'm sure the disappearing time will. But hey, I get 3 or 4 months parental leave when the baby arrives so maybe I can go a little crazy when that happens, we'll see!

Besides all of that, stay awesome and thanks for your continued support!

November Preview #1

Hey everyone, hope you're having a most Spectacular Spooktober!

We have the 1st round of November previews today, featuring:

• Espeon / Umbreon
• Kuriboh
• Celtic Guardian
• Peach
• Mallow (Mario RPG)

That's all for now, hope you like them and thanks for your continued support!

You all blew 250 away, enjoy your Garland (via MMF)

Hey everyone!

So we hit 254 at the time of writing, and seeing as the day is almost over I'll just send the September 2023 MMF links with Garland in there, enjoy! I'll populate the model list with everything else from September over the next day or 2 as well.

Also, in the image above you'll see your 260 patron goal bonus, Lich from Strangers of Paradise. Hopefully one day soon it and Garland can share the same table!

250 Patron Goal -- 4 Patrons away

Hey everyone, just letting you all know that tomorrow is the last day of September, and we're currently 4 away from the Strangers of Paradise Garland bonus model.

So if you:

• Aren't subbed
• Really want SoP Garland
• Have been on the fence

then consider your options before the new-month-sub-drop (nudge nudge wink wink).

Favorite Pokemon Generation Poll

Hey everyone! Just a quick poll mostly for fun and curiosity, what's your favorite Pokemon generation?

Spooktober Preview #3

Hey everyone, the last round of Spooktober items are here! We only have a VERY SMALL handful of models to go through this time, which are:

• Leon (RE4)
• Ashley (RE4)
• Krauser (RE4)
• Mutated Krauser (RE4)
• Mendez [Stage 1] (RE4)
• Ghostblade and Spirit (Dungeon Fighter) [Warlord Bonus]
• Darkrai
• Kuramon / Tsumemon / Keramon
• Chrysalimon
• Infermon
• Diaboromon

And finally, one more special surprise...... CHAINSAW MAN!!!!

Oh, my apologies. That seems to be Chainsaw Villager from RE4. I guess we can include that in the Spooktober offerings as well.

Anyways, this is what I meant to post,

Ahem... 

CHAINSAW MAN!!!!!!

It also features 2 interchangeable bases, the scenic devil-being-sawed-apart base, as well as a simpler, smaller footprint rock base. Also includes a "clean" version of Chainsaw Man without the gore on his arm chainsaws. 

The amount of attention and time I poured into this one is the equivalent to what I typically spend on 2-3 models, so I hope you're as happy with it as I am proud of it. 

Anyways with that very small batch of previews, I hope you're excited for the full Spooktober release, and thanks for your continued support!!

September Warlord Bonus #2

Salutations Warlords!

I've added a 2nd September bonus to your MMF Warlord invites: Pre-Time skip Gaara from Naruto! It's quite random, but I hope you enjoy it. Thanks for your support!

Spooktober Preview #2

Viewers beware, its time for more tabletop scares!

This round of previews, you'll witness the following unfathomable horrors:

• Isaac Clarke (Dead Space, also not really an unfathomable horror)
• Verdugo (Resident Evil) [that's more like it]
• Plaga Mandibula (Resident Evil)
• Wizzro (Zelda)
• Shuppet / Banette / Mega Banette

With that, I'll leave some more Spooktober fun for next week. Hope you like them and thanks for your support!

September 2023 Warlord Appreciation Bonus

Here's the first ever Warlord bonus model, Cammy as she appears in Street Fighter 6! 

I've sent MMF invites to all tiers with Warlord perks (and will be adding anyone who joins/upgrades throughout the month). Salutations Warlords!

Spooktober Preview #1

Its finally here, I've been hyped for this one for a while. October is the best month after December, don't @ me.

Anyways, we've got:

• Agatha, your Pokemon Trainer of the month (I hope this suffices for the 1st Kanto "Gym Leader")
• Mimikyu, and a mid-attack Mimikyu
• Pyro Jack (Persona/SMT)
• Plaga Guadana (Resident Evil)
• Regenerator (Resident Evil)

You better be excited, or all the scary night creatures will find you (please be excited). And yes, there's about 5 previews here. There's about 30 models for Spooktober in total. I went overboard. Send help.

Alrighty, hope you like them, and thanks for your support!

Patreon Restructuring update

Hey everyone, here's a relatively big update to go along with Spooktober reveals.

In an effort to help get a little closer to the dream of making Patreon a full-time endeavor (for anyone not in the know, I do this in my free time, in addition to a full time job), I've created a few new tiers and made a few changes.

The standard World Warrior tier will remain the same, although I've capped the amount of people that can join (there's about 20 spots left). Its now your early bird, best bang-for-buck tier for all of my earliest supporters on this 1-year and some change journey so far.

Once that has reached its cap, there's a new World Warrior tier that's functionally the same, except it'll be $7 USD vs the early bird's $5 USD.

For the Warlord tier and all other tiers that receive Warlord perks, I'll be including one or two Warlord-exclusive STLs each month as a thank you for my biggest supporters, in addition to taking your suggestions. If/when I make it to full-time Patreon, rest assured I'll regularly work on more monthly requests for you all!

We also have the Just the 'Mons tier, which will be $5 for people who are only interested in Digimon/Pokemon (plus the monthly Pokemon trainer model). So if your primary interest is one or both of those, I hope you'll find it affordable and invaluable! I'll have separate release posts for 'Mons vs everything else starting next month. If you join this tier for September 2023, enjoy access to all the goodies!

The Saturday Night Reruns tier will be effectively the same as the Warlord tier, except people at this tier will also receive a MyMiniFactory invite to an older release (typically around a year old). At $15, its a cost-effective way to slowly catch up on the back catalogue if you're in it for the long haul. For this month, our throwback will be the August 2022 release (pictured above).

Edit: There will be no changes to Merchant tiers, besides also receiving Warlord exclusive models.

Additionally, starting this month I'll be uploading the free Pokemon models on MMF/Thingiverse/Cults3d without pre-supported files, and will have a Google Drive link where all Pokemon models to date and their supported files can be located for patrons.

I think that's everything, so be sure to let me know if you have any questions or concerns, and with that I just want to thank you all for your time and continued support!

Bonus Model: Bomberman

Hey everyone, here's an explody guy just because. You'll find it in this month's Google Drive link, enjoy!

September 2023 Full Preview

The September release will be available on 9/2, hope you're looking forward to it and thanks for your support!

ShineGreymon Evo Line Split files added to MMF

Hey everyone, you'll find these under July MMF objects. Sorry for the wait, and let me know if you have any issues!

240 Patron Goal Reached + 250 Goal Preview

Holy cow, I really thought we'd have a month or 2 between reaching this goal! You'll find the spoils of your victory in the August 2023 Google Drive, and I'll be adding this one to the Welcome Pack in the near future as well.

At the 250 patron mark, please graciously accept this Strangers of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origins rendition of Garland. 

Hope you're excited! I couldn't and wouldn't have kept this going for the last 13 months if it wasn't for every single one of you and your generous support!

September Preview #3

Hey everyone! Last set of models for next month are here, and we have:

• Raiden (Metal Gear Solid 2)
• Guard Dog (Final Fantasy VII)
• Eevee / Flareon / Vaporeon / Jolteon
• Dourmon / Dorugamon / DoruGreymon / Alphamon

With those, you now have the full scope of the September offerings. Hope you like them, and the full month render will be coming at you next week! 

Jumping ahead, I actually have most of Spooktober done as well, and I'm personally really excited for that month especially. Stay tuned for those and have an awesome day!

230 Patron Milestone Reached + 240 Goal Preview

Hey everyone! For anyone not in the know, I do a bonus model(s) every new 10 patron milestone we reach, and we FINALLY get around to Mitsuru's Persona's, Penthesilea and Artemesia from Persona 3! I've been saying that I'd make these two for a while, so I hope you like them. I finished sculpting them last night and literally just finished adding supports at the time of writing. If you encounter any issues, be sure to leave a comment or shoot me a message. You'll find them in August Google Drive link, enjoy and thanks for your support!

Besides that, I've already got the 240 goal sculpted and supported, Genesis from Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core. So yeah, when we hit 240 he's all yours, hope you're looking forward to it!

September Preview #2

Next round of previews! The people have asked for Fire Emblem models, so I hope this 1st one sates you for the time being!

• Byleth (FE: Three Houses)
• Sidon (Tears of the Kingdom)
• Palkia [Origin Form]

Hope you like today's offerings, and thanks for your support!

September Preview #1

Wow, its already that time of the month again where we start checking out new models!

So as I alluded to a little while back, we're doing more mixed themes to increase the chance that there's something each month that everyone may be into, and also to try and get my work/life balance in order. Basically, I'm saying that we only have 2 Metal Gear models for September because they're fairly time consuming and I want to do them justice, and will definitely do more in the future. Please forgive me!

With that said, we have:

• Revolver Ocelot
• Fi (Zelda: Skyward Sword)
• Lickitung
• Gym Leader Larry

I'll start incorporating some of the Warlord Trainer requests the following month, as I had already completed Larry a couple weeks ago. I may make a bonus Trainer for this/next month if I find myself with extra time, only time will tell. Besides that, I hope you like the previews, and thanks for your continued support!

Bonus Model: 2B from Ethan Savage Studios

Hey everyone, here's a bonus gift from the myth, the legend, the sculptor, Ethan Savage! 

You can find this beauty in this month's Google Drive folder, and be sure to check out their offerings for this month and show them some support (as well as access an assortment of fantastic anime and gaming minis).

https://www.patreon.com/ESAVAGE

Thanks again Ethan!

August 2023 Full Preview (2.0)

Hey everyone, just a quick update. I've redone the renders in a new render style that I feel better defines the details. There's also a render for 2 bonus models for August, a cow and alien both from Zelda: Majora's Mask. Hope you like them!

220 Patron Bonus: Jeanne d'Arc Alter

Hey everyone! Just a quick reminder that I'm releasing a bonus model for every 10-patron milestone we reach. We just hit 220, so enjoy this Jeanne model from Fate/Grand Order that I made a while back. You'll find it in the July Google Drive, have fun and thanks for your support!

Up next for the 230 milestone:

August Preview #3

Hey everyone, hope you're doing well!

This is the last of the previews for August, featuring

• Ganondorf (TotK)
• Link (ALttP)
• Daruk
• Fanbeemon / Waspmon / Cannonbeemon / TigerVespamon

Hope you like them and are excited for August! I'll have a full month render next week. Until then, stay awesome and thanks for your support!
