Hello everyone!
Today I have taken the priests from the printer, they look cool. The staffs are thin, I eyeball them instead of using a previous release as a reference, Since they worked I will keep them as they are but if there are requests, I will make them thicker.
Even though the models are ready, I will delay this miniature release for now. The reason is that this month I plan to take a trip after Christmas returning next year, and some work I can't do some on the notebook an...

Hello everyone!
Yesterday I took Keeron from the printer and today I took the Giant Eagle from the Printer. They took me 13 hours to print each and where printed at 0.02mm layer crazy right? lol
I am really happy with the end result, Feathers give a bit more work to sculpt, support, and clean but, in the end, it was worth it.
I will now start making the render so that I can release them today. I will let you know in another post with Renders.
Just a behind-the-scenes s...

Update December 17th
Posed the models, I thought that having 1 high priest and 1 Priest was not right, so I decided to make one more pose. Now we have 1 High Priest and 2 Priests.
On the Top Left there is the High Priest, and the other 2 are Priests. Although I called them Priests, they also would look cool as mages.
Today I will be working on the Hand options. These heads are Open, Spell Effect 1 and 2, Finger (like pistol hand maybe),...

Hello everyone!
Update December 12th
Managed to finish the Armor/Saddle yesterday.
Today I will do a bit of posing, then fix the model. I expect to put it in the printer
today. Before posing I will export the model to make a printer fit test, I honestly don't know if it will fit the in the printer. If that's the case it's better to make the split before posing.

Hello everyone!
Today I have printed Keeron Sunlight.
He was printed on Elegoo Mars 2 Pro with Layer 0.02mm using a Gamer Resin.
Even thou I was a good print, I will delay a bit his release. The reason for that is that I am working on his mounted version and I might add an extra hand option (A magic bolt being fired from the tip of the Lance).
Best regards,
Ivo

Hello everyone!
It's now available on MMF the Lost Dwarven King.
I left the shoulder and the weapon as separate objects, if you wish to replace the hammer for the Axe or the Shoulder, that's possible to do using Blender or other 3d software.
When cleaning the supports be careful with the boar tusk, they are thin and will break with a finger press.
The miniature was printed using a Gamer resin, layer 0.02mm on an Elegoo Mars 2 Pro.
Best regards,
Ivo

Hello everyone!
Today I filled in the information for the Winter Sale on MMF, it's the 3rd event that I have subscribed for in a store discount.
There is a rule on MMF that to withdraw the income It has to be greater than 100 USD or I have to pay 2 USD per withdrawal. This fee stops me from withdrawing every month (because I don't sell that much, I wait to get a sum of 100 USD). When these events occur I was able to withdraw that month, this data has shown me that it's a lot more ...

Hello everyone!
It's now available on MMF the files for the Dragon Ostrich Wild Pack, Riders A, and B.
Even though there are multiple hands in the pack not all of them are compatible with all the models (they won't fit because of the bird). You can mix the riders from both store items that are compatible with the mounts; mirroring Left and right can increase your options.
If you wish to use the shield it's recommended to trim a bit the arm guards.

Hello everyone!
Today I finished printing the last Ostrich successfully, I am currently printing the bases now. I'm sure that I will print successfully but I could not fit those previously because of size constraints. I can't release the miniatures yet because I need to take a printed picture with the bases.
While the bases are printing, I decided to make the renders, this way I only need to take the pictures to release the models. With the renders done, I decided to share them.

The voting has ended, and it's time to announce our Patron Commission's winner.
With 24 votes, the winner is... Lost dwarven king.
Lost dwarven king: He has boars tusk shoulder armor, and a horned helmet with plate armor covering the rest of him. He is standing with one foot resting on an orc head looking out heroically (captain Morgan style) and holding his hammer down at his side. It might be cool if he could swap out the hammer for a...

Sharing the progress on the Elven Guard D. I have posed her and added details to the skirt. Now I'm going to change the hair (bangs) to create a different model from the B guard.
As mentioned on a previous post, my goal is to finish this model this morning and put her on the printer.

Hello everyone!
I am almost finishing adjusting the female model and soon I will be ready to start posing.
Currently the bracers are too big (and I have already scaled down). Even though scaling the bracers down would be easy, it won't be possible if I do it too much, I will have to scale each piece individually so that it stays in a good proportion and also be printable.
If everything goes easy, tonight I will put her on the printer and tomorrow I can show some printed mode...

Hello everyone!
Today I have removed the first Elven Guard from the printer.
For this miniature, I made a test with and without a shield. The model with the shield raised is the original and the one on the back with the shield dropped was printed separately. As it's printed the shield won't fit into the hand slot normally, it's necessary to trim a bit of the bracer to have a good place.
Even though I want to always give options, doing this creates more workload than so...
